Education is properly justified by respect. Respect for ourselves and respect for each other. What we do in the name of education is no education at all. 🇳🇿🔱 #Democracy #resist No DMs unless you ask
Pinned
Lacking a worthy purpose, "education" has collapsed into social engineering. Learners are merely a managed economic resource. A genuine education that respects intrinsic human worth is everything

Trafficking across borders of kidnapped children by nation states.

So-called "reeducation-camps" are, of course, a form of child slavery, & a profound abuse of the idea of education

Good information from Kira

*Of course* in a democracy, no one person can give away pieces of land & sovereignty. This confusion among commentators, as if the negotiation is between kings.

Apt to be confused when the US functions as a monarchy.

During Pride Month, the Defense Department announces plans to rename the USNS Harvey Milk.

That’s no accident of timing.

They’re also considering renaming the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Dolores Huerta, and USNS Cesar Chavez, and USNS Medgar Evers.
