About this Quote

This quote by Russell Means talks with the concern of the federal government's function in public education and learning. He is suggesting that the government has set up a plan in public institutions that discourages important thinking as well as the production of ideas. This plan is most likely in position to preserve the status as well as avoid trainees from testing the federal government's authority. This plan is detrimental to the growth of students, as vital thinking as well as the production of concepts are necessary abilities for success in the modern-day world. It is necessary for the government to acknowledge the relevance of these skills and to encourage trainees to assume critically as well as produce originalities.
