A Boring Dystopia

"The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses." - Malcolm X

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - John F. Kennedy

"I and some colleagues came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be wrong and unrealistic for African leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force. It was only when all else had failed, when all channels of peaceful protest had been barred to us, that the decision was made to embark on violent forms of political struggle." - Nelson Mandela

The state of education in America 55 years ago.

But props to the Columbia U staff for walking out. In other universities this was just par for the course, and the faculty stayed put as students were arrested

Kent State Massacre of 1970

Manufactured incident. If you read what those young adults on the ground are saying its clear this is the all being inflamed by the media and school officials. Not the students of which many are Jewish in support of Palestine.

This feels so our of context. Like, what is the link between the state of education and a picture of 20 police people standing on top of a stair?

whats the context? im ootl on this one.

Ah, yes, the famous American right to free speech

Context? What's a bunch of cops standing next to each other got to do with education? Thanks!

Gee, I wonder why tuition is so high and yet class sizes keep getting bigger and courses are increasingly stripped down to standardized testing format.

Where could all of that money gone?

USSA: "Education shall not pass!"

USSR:

"Take good care of book"

In top right corner "Love book - the source of knowledge" by Gorky.

"Excelling in our duty"

"To build you should know, to know you should learn"

Book in hand "technology of metals", books on table are "construction works" and "integral calculus".

"Our country should be most literate and culural country in the world", "Learn and work! Work and learn!", "To have more you should produce more, to produce more you should know more"

"...the task is TO LEARN!", reference to Lenin's quote "...to learn, to learn and to learn"

"Work at day, learn at evening"

For context this is worker with medal "For Labour Valour"

In modern Russia even vandals are pro-education. But this is not thanks to, but despite current regime.
