Too many of our people lament and bewail things that, they say, they were "not taught in school."
School gives you only the basics, the politically prescribed basics of and for learning. The rest is up to you to acquire constantly from your home, your neighborhood, your church, your clubs, your friends, and most importantly, on your own!
Learning is a lifetime undertaking. To watch television from 5-8 hours a day or more for decades, learning nothing but idiocy, and then to complain about what you did not learn or what, you claim, that you were not taught in school, meaning grade school or high school; or, even, in college or graduate and/or professional school, is a cop-out for your own willful and indolent ignorance.
You do not know, because you do not bother to know, nor care to know; preferring to do and to know other things, that have nothing to do with knowledge--an abominable plague to so many!
So, stop blaming school and look at yourself, "consider your ways," says the Bible, a great place to start your learning pilgrimage! In other words, "confess your faults one to another that you may be healed," says the Bible.
"Our people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, " says another Bible verse. Therefore, to quickly end black people's destruction, and your own, get knowledge. And don't stop, ever! Give it to your family members, their dependents and to your friends and associates, if you love them. There is simply no better nor surer path to freedom, justice, prosperity, respect, and power than knowledge!
