From Cornel West and Jeremy Tate's recent opinion piece:
Schooling is not education. Education draws out the uniqueness of people to be all that they can be in the light of their irreducible singularity. It is the maturation and cultivation of spiritually intact and morally equipped human beings.

Schooling is about creating little corporate drones, instilling obedience, and sapping students of curiosity. Learning doesn't start or stop at the sound of a school bell. A lot of us have been saying that for a very long time now. Things like the emphasis on standardized testing and initiatives like No Child Left Behind here in the US just make the problem worse. The capitalist worship of STEM is what is killing the humanities. · 2 years ago
"Academia’s continual campaign to disregard or neglect the classics is a sign of spiritual decay, moral decline and a deep intellectual narrowness running amok in American culture." That's it. · 2 years ago
