Puscifer's Maynard James Keenan has weighed in on the state of education and politics in a recent interview with AZ Central.

He believes that the current education system is flawed and has been undermined by teaching methods and standardized tests.

This approach, he argues, serves to lower the educational bar and limit students' ability to critically think and reason.

Keenan also compared the US's current situation to "violent oppression," stating that it will eventually lead to a breaking point where change becomes necessary.

He emphasized the importance of separating church and state, believing that government should be a mechanism, not an emotional being.

Keenan expressed frustration with online politics and claimed that bots and chat rooms are driving wedges between people, starting unnecessary fights and exploiting users.

His comments echo sentiments from other musicians and artists who have been vocal about their discontent with the current administration.

Puscifer has released its new album, Normal Isn't, which can be found here.
