Education has been denied to many groups throughout history, to keep them disenfranchised and unable to organize.
"Your education isn't just about you, your nation is making an investment in you because they believe that you are worth it. So the next time that you're like half asleep fantasizing about being a kid chosen for a special mission or wizard school, or whatever, please remember something: you are special, and you've chosen for a special mission that was denied to 99.9% of all humans ever. We need you, we believe in you, and we're counting on you."
History is happening all around us
all the time.
"And in modern times power is often seen as participatory and moving through society. And political power is often seen as participatory too. Not just in the form of voting, but also public protest. We're not necessarily powerful in the way royalty once was, but instead as part of a modern society, power flows through us as we act as citizens
or soldiers or patients or skateboarders or shoppers or viewers or anything else. We each express our power by participating in systems that in turn have power over us, whether that's systems of criminal justice or transportation systems. It's critical to understand however that the way those systems function, and the way that power flows is uneven and unjust."
