“From cradle to grave, learning is essential to being human. Not only that, it is a human right. The United Nations views education as “a fundamental human right and essential for the exercise of all other human rights.” When we want to deny someone the full practice of their humanity, withholding learning from them is often a measure we employ. Women, the poor, even entire ethnic populations have been kept uneducated for the purpose of control or marginalization. To be human is to learn. To deny human learning is to set ourselves up as God, albeit a malevolent version of him.”
