In the 1-22-24 episode, Poliakoff fawns over Ohio Senator Cirino. Both men make wide assumptions about how “young” people (including Millennials who are largely in our 30s and 40s now) couldn’t possibly have different economic or political view from them if we had only been properly “schooled”. This assumptions then bleed over into a presumption of bad intent toward liberal professors or any professor who might dare consider striking as a labor action.
