Powerful words from a powerful woman. Performed here in 2012, before I knew her: Zeleca Ayanna Julien Education is a tool, passing with the right marks and getting into the right school, then getting the right degree. Its a game we play and somehow pretend is objective. It is often but another way to enforce existing structures and inequalities. I am deeply grateful that I was raised by parents who didnt just ship me off to a school to have the world white-washed. History is that: a story, told by someone, to some end. Until we are being educated from multiple perspectives and hearing different sides of the story, until then, most education is little more than indoctrination. Children must be taught to THINK, not how and what to think.
