The Author’s Voice

Schools are “educational” institutions, culturally shaped and defined to be used to provide information deemed necessary by the authority of the rulers of nation states. – If the citizens of that society suffer inequalities, it is an unjust society. If the culture of that society despises your humanity, it is not your culture. In this case, an “education” that supports that society’s inequalities and injustices is corrupt. (Afrocentric School)
