But what is now encompassed by the one word (“school”) are two very different kinds of institutions that, in function, finance and intention, serve entirely different roles. both are needed for our nation’s governance. but children in one set of schools are educated to be governors; children in the other set of schools are trained for being governed. the former are given the imaginative range to mobilize ideas for economic growth; the latter are provided with the discipline to do the narrow tasks the first group will prescribe.

More From Jonathan Kozol

So long as we continued to attach more importance to our own narrow group membership than to the 'global village' we would propagate prejudice and ignorance. there was absolutely no harm in being part of a small group - indeed, with our hunter-gatherer band mentality it gave comfort, provided us with an inner circle of friends who could be utterly trusted, who were absolutely reliable. it helped give us peace of mind. the danger came only from drawing that sharp line, digging that ditch, laying that minefield, between our own group and any other group that thought differently.
Ignorance Circles Drawing
If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

The only distinction between freedom and slavery consists in this: in the former state a man is governed by the laws to which he has given his consent, either in person or by his representative; in the latter, he is governed by the will of another. in the one case, his life and property are his own; in the other, they depend upon the pleasure of his master. it is easy to discern which of these two states is preferable.

I've always wanted to do all kinds of roles, dramatic roles and comedic roles, all kinds of roles.
Roles Kind Dramatic
Encourage free schools and resolve that not one dollar appropriated for their support shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian schools. resolve that neither the state nor nation, nor both combined, shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford every child growing up in the land of opportunity of a good common school education, unmixed with sectarian, pagan, or atheistical dogmas. leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church and the private school supported entirely by private contributions. keep the church and state forever separate.

Political revolutions aim to change political institutions in ways that those institutions themselves prohibit. their success therefore necessitates the partial relinquishment of one set of institutions in favor of another, and in the interim, society is not fully governed by institutions at all

And lastly, the political revolutions from 1911 to the present time have done more to bring about tremendous social changes everywhere than even the economic and industrial changes and the new schools.
School Political Revolution Done
The old terms must be invented with new meaning and given new explanations. liberty, equality, and fraternity are no longer what they were in the days of the late-lamented guillotine. this is what the politicians will not understand; and that is why i hate them. they want only their own special revolutions- external revolutions, political revolutions, etc. but that is only dabbling. what is really needed is a revolution of the human spirit.
Hate Political Revolution Liberty
I am extraordinarily proud of the campaign that we ran. the issues that we raised, the fact that we got 13 million americans to vote for a political revolution.

What my campaign is about is a political revolution - millions of people standing up and saying, enough is enough. our government belongs to all of us, and not just the hand full of billionaires.
