More School Please!

It seems that in times of angst about the future or the general feelings of meaningless that characterizes so much of the American life people seek more schooling. Is the rush to school a move towards liberation or a retreat because society has limited answers? This is an essential question that we must ask because it seems that school is defined as the last bastion of hope in an ever increasingly hopeless world. However, is school the answer or is it simply used as tool of pacification? It seems that the issues of meaningless, confusion and angst that lie at the foundation of American life must be addressed. School is another corporate sponsored prison that shackles us to a debt system that forces our allegiance to a corrupt system. We must reject the notion of school if our reason for seeking admittance into its privileged doors is to escape from the harsh realities of the real world. Education must be a tool to eradicate the harsh realities that leave so many suffering under the boot of corporate oppression. Sadly, it seems that school is simply a vehicle that many seek to ride to the good life not recognizing that those that sponsored the good life or the same ones endorsing the debt induced decisions to acquire more meaningless pieces of paper.
