Philosopher and activist Cornel West: Our priorities are so warped - TopicsExpress



          

Philosopher and activist Cornel West: Our priorities are so warped because we are living in a culture that is shot through with corrupt self-interest and greed. Thats why education is under assault. Because public education is predicated on the notion that youre concerned about other peoples kids, not just your own kids. I dont care what color. You gotta be concerned with all the children. But no, not any longer. All of it is privatized, with this profit obsession. Preoccupation with short term as opposed to the long term and integrity. Its being pushed to the side... and we ought to be honest about it. Tell the truth about it. Thats the only way were gonna turn it around.... ~ Lena
