“Our accent will be upon youth: we need new ideas, new methods, new approaches. We will call upon young students of political science throughout the nation to help us. We will encourage these young students to launch their own independent study, and then give us their analysis and their suggestions. We are completely disenchanted with the old, adult, established politicians. We want to see some new faces -- more militant faces.” WantNeedsGivingIdeasHelpingFacesYoungPoliticalNationsStudyYouthStudentsPoliticianApproachAdultsIndependentMethodAnalysisNew IdeasAccentsSuggestionsPolitical ScienceMilitantNew ApproachNew FacesDisenchantedYoung Students Author:Malcolm X
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.” NeedsTwoHomeTodayYoungDesireCertainParentSpecialYouthStudentsCollegeWasteDistanceUniversityGenuineTwo ThingsExpensiveWasting TimeSheerYoung WomenAcademiaFetishSnobbishnessEducation Today Author:Mary Roberts Rinehart

“Not since the days of the Hitler Youth have young people been subjected to more propaganda on more politically correct issues. At one time, educators boasted that their role was not to teach students what to think but how to think. Today, their role is far too often to teach students what to think on everything from immigration to global warming to the new sacred trinity of 'race, class and gender.'” PeopleThinkingTodayYoungRaceClassRolesTeachIssuesYouthStudentsSacredGenderImmigrationPropagandaGlobal WarmingOne TimeEducatorTrinityPolitically CorrectHitler Youth Author:Thomas Sowell
“On the river path in Boston beauty was most expressed as youth and intelligence. That made sense; sixty degree-giving institutions, some three hundred thousand students; that meant at least one hundred fifty thousand more nubile young women than demographics would ordinarily suggest. Maybe that was why young men stayed in Boston when their college years were over, maybe that explained why they were so intellectually hyperactive, so frustrated, so alcoholic, such terrible drivers.” MenGivingYearsMadeYoungThreePathYouthStudentsCollegeTerribleThousandDegreesHundredRiversInstitutionsYoung ManFiftyDriversSixtyFrustratedYoung WomenBostonAlcoholicsDemographicsCollege Years Author:Kim Stanley Robinson

“It's important to teach students about the reality of the system, that it is in fact the case that they are being targeted unfairly, that the rules have been set up in a way that authorize unfair treatment of them, and how difficult it is to challenge these laws in the courts. We need to teach them how our politics have changed in recent years, how there has been, in fact, a backlash. But we need to couple that information with stories of how people in the past have challenged these kinds of injustices, and the role that youth have played historically in those struggles.” PeopleWayNeedsYearsKindHas BeensImportantFactsStoriesRealityPastLawDifficultChallengesRolesTeachCasesStruggleInformationChangedYouthStudentsCoupleCourtInjusticeTreatmentUnfairBacklashPeople From The PastUnfair Treatment Author:Michelle Alexander
