EDUCATION ABOUT THE STRUGGLE IN JENA

Who are the teachers and who are the students in the struggle for liberation? The struggle in Jena suggests that citizens are the educators, that even those designated as students have done
a great deal of teaching by marching in Jena for the overthrow of the police-judiciary apparatus that now weighs upon our nation like a boulder of shame.

Without the struggle of citizens, antiracist citizens, the media monopolies would have simply chosen to continue their perpetual blindness to white supremacy in America. So even the brainwashers, the primary miseducators the CNNS, THE FOX OUTLETS, AND ALL THE OTHER MEDIA MONOPOLY had to pay attention even though it is their job to do just the opposite, look away from racial injustice and focus on say a perpetual news-soap opera like OJ1 or now OJ2.

So while it is true that a certain amount of lecturing or reading and writing and discussion is certainly essential to education there must also be struggle, the struggle of knowledge against ignorance, of justice against injustice and of the oppressed against the oppressor.

Liberating ideas must be arrayed against oppressor ideas. A liberation system must be deployed to contend with the oppressor system.
