Hypothesis
Assumptions. After research I have a hypothetical hypotheses, (is that redundant?):
First,
Kids have the right to a free, unfettered (unobstructed), education.
Second,
Kids are the most maligned group I can think of. Unfairly criticized and exploited.
Third assumption is a-
Syllogism (logical reasoning):
If public school kids are being used as, say: a labor force, militarism, and consumerism;
And big business management coupled with policy makers, are unfairly and unilaterally using kids for their financial gains.
Then, by definition, it is a sin, a crime and unconstitutional.
If a counter argument is true, I would argue-
Then redefine the word, “Transparency”, and be honest with kids when they ask “why do we have to learn this stuff?” Answer with a “well kids, you don’t. We need you to work for big businesses, stay in debt and buy stuff until you die.” (See, is that too much? I cringe, but, is it closer to a truth? Logically speaking.)
Here is another piece of bait:
Historically, players of the power game deploy three main tactics from say, the Middle Ages, from indentured servants to powerful empires- (take your pick of empire). Three patterns persist, which is to Keep the masses:
Desperate. Keep ‘em poor and dependent. Keep em tired.
Distracted. Keep education controlled and engaged; Ordered from the top down.
Divided. Keep ‘em fighting each other. Plant morality lies. Focus low. Emotions over logic, because it works.
Solution? S.O.S.
Save ourselves, or save our students, take your pick.
Do as much as you can to take back your time and mind- through more insightful conversations that matter. Be More- independent, focused, united. A self-propelling wheel.
