I think the schools can do something about the tweets, indirectly. Rather than any stupid forced political correctness course, which as Kat points out would not be useful at all and probably would reinforce the racist beliefs, schools could respond by tackling the issue of critical thought and developing one's own opinions on something. It doesn't have to be a controversial topic - in fact, for learning how to think it's probably better to choose something that people aren't already strongly leaning in one direction or the other over - but helping people reason logically and showing them how to assess their own conclusions is an important first step in bringing them to realise their mistakes. It's basic teaching philosophy, right? Don't just tell them the answer, help them to figure out how to find it themselves.

The GOP is pretty much a comic book villain organization, no joke. They are House Harkonen.
