[Prince Ea I Just Sued The School System]

Albert Einstein once said, everybody’s genius But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, today on trial we have modern day schooling. Glad you could come. Not only does he make fish climb trees but also makes them climb down and do a ten mile run.

Tell me school, are you proud of the things you’ve done?

Turning millions of people into robots, do you find that fun?

Do you realize how many kids relate to that fish? Swimming upstream in class never finding their gifts. Thinking they are stupid. Believing they are useless.

But the time has come, no more excuses.

I call school to the stand and accuse him of killing creativity! Individuality! And being intellectually abusive.

He’s an ancient institution that has outlived his usage.

So your honor, this concludes my opening statement and if I may present the evidence of my case, I will prove it.

Proceed.

[Prince Ea:]

Exhibit A : Here’s a modern day phone, recognize it? Here’s a phone from 150 years ago. Big difference right?

Stay with me…

Here’s a car from today, and here’s a car from 150 years ago. Big difference right?

Well get this…

Here’s a classroom of today and here’s a class we used 150 years ago.

Whoa…

Now ain’t that a shame? In literally more than a century, nothing has changed.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED

Yet you claim to prepare students for the future? But with evidence like that I must ask, Do you prepare students for the future or the past?

DO YOU PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE OR THE PAST

I did a background check on you and let the records show that you were made to train people work in factories.

FRAGILE! FRAGILE! FRAGILE!

BRAIN BRAIN BRAIN

Which explains why you put students in straight rows, nice and neat.

NICE & NEAT

Tell em’ sit still. Raise your hand if you wanna speak. Give em’ a short break to eat and for 8 hours a day tell em’ what to think.

Oh, and make them compete to get an A.

A letter which determines product quality. Hence grade A of meat.

GRADE

MEAT

I get it.

I GET IT

Back then times were different. We all have a past. I myself am no Gandhi. But today, we don’t need to make robot zombies.

PROGRESSED

The world has progressed, and now we need people who think creatively, innovatively, critically, independently with an ability to connect.

CREATIVELY INNOVATIVELY CRITICALLY INDEPENDENTLY

See every scientist will tell you that no two brains are the same. And every parent with two or more children will confirm that claim. So please explain why you treat students like cookie cutter frames or snapback hats. Giving them this one size fits all crap.

Watch your language.

Sorry, your honor.

But if a doctor prescribed the exact same medicine to all of his patients the result will tragic.

TRAGIC

So many people would get sick yet. When it comes to school, this is exactly what happens. This educational malpractice.

EDUCATIONAL MALPRACTICE

Where one teacher stands in front of 20 kids, each one having different strengths, different needs, different gifts, different dream. And you teach the same thing the same way? That’s horrific!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the defendant should not be acquitted. This may be one of the worst criminal offences ever to be committed. And lets mention the way you treat your employees.

Objection!

Overruled. I want to hear this.

[Prince Ea:]

It’s a shame, I mean teachers have the most important job on the planet, yet there underpaid.
