The great Victor Hugo once said,” He who opens a school door, closes a prison.” See, education is a system of imposed ignorance. Our school system is supposedly designed to teach obedience and conformity in order to prevent our children’s natural abilities from developing. The whole educational and professional system is a very elaborate filter. It just weeds out people who are extremely independent and tend to think for themselves, no sheep allowed. Those who don’t know how to be submissive, so they’re deemed dysfunctional to the “institution”. Speaking of institutions, I dream of a time when a President will propose spending 25 Billion on our Education System instead of a FUCKING wall. Now, on to our incarceration system.  They’re programming us through their exaggerated negative media depictions of us, to believe the fraudulent worse about ourselves. This makes us hate and fear each other in turn dividing us. It also makes us more compliant with their dominance over our life, but not I, I’m one of the few who write, fight, do what is needed to expose the truth so that you may live life without fear! One of my idols,  Frederick Douglas said, “It is much easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” and that’s exactly what I’m doing.
