Malcolm X vs Christopher Rufo: Do Public Schools Have Anything to Offer?

Is there anything that can be saved?

American Education

“I’ve had enough of someone else’s propaganda… I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I’m a human being first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.” - Malcolm X

I have to preface this article with the fact that I am not a big supporter of Malcolm X. I do believe he showed rationality later in life, especially in leaving the Nation of Islam, an explicitly racist and antisemitic group of losers.

However, this is a blog largely about “Unschooling” - so any criticism of the public education system is warranted here. It’s unfortunate that he was killed just after he was starting to get interesting.
