I have heard people call what has been done to this country 'treason', maybe Vincent Bugliosi said it also regarding the theft of the 2000 election. Whenever people say that, others often accuse them of hyperbole, but I do not think so. And your OP states the case very clearly, any American who contributes to what anyone can see, is the downfall of this country out of fear of losing their job in Congress, or for profit, is, imo a traitor.

Regarding your point about the educational system, Reagan, and then Nixon to his credit, not wanting to go along, I think you are right. What better way to destroy a country than to deprive its citizens of an education?

It reminds of the coup against Aristides in Haitti, right after he announced he intended to spend a lot of money on education and raise the minimum wage. Chavez's first campaign promise kept, according to friends in Venezuela, was to end the 80% illiteracy and poverty rate, most likely directly related to each other.

Chavez in an interview with John Pilger stated that he was aware he was a target for assassination but he hoped he would be around long enough to educate the entire country including the elderly, because he said, with an educated population, no matter what happened to him, no one could defeat them as easily or suppress them again.

There is a war on teachers, sad to say it is still going on. The people have to take action or lose this country altogether, but the problem is so many are blind to what is being done to them.
