Distance learning would have to be more of a Democratic way of thinking. Republicans would prefer that less people were educated so that 1/10th of 1 percent could control 99% of the country’s wealth. Instead of the 1% that controls it now.

Republicans don’t want people to learn or think for themselves. Republicans want everyone in the world to sit in our homes and do everything on the internet, go to school, buy things, just sit in our homes, quiet and orderly as they monitor everything that we do. So… republicans are against what the best ways of teaching are. Republicans would think phys ed class is a good distance learning program.

I would say that distant learing is definitely more of a democratic learning. This is because distant learning gives the option of education to a lot more people than education was available to in the past. Democrats want everyone to be as educated as possible, they are not threatened by society as a whole getting smarter. Republicans want to keep a sense of being in control, so they probably want to limit education as much as possible. By keeping education centralized, and eliminating distant education, they would ensure that a lot less people were getting educated and it would help them stay in control. Democrats want everyone to have the oppurtunity to get an education, whether it be throught distant learning or traditional education.
