A Disturbing Truth About the History of Our Educational System - Video

[Saharapost]

This is a documentary that attempts to tell the truth about the history of "western" educational system...

I have only watched the two minutes video on Youtube [video=youtube;08Ur1E7chuE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08Ur1E7chuE[/video]

When I get home, I am going to watch the full length video available here at [video]http://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/schooling_the_world_2010/[/video]

Tragic, but truth revealing. It takes us back "in time" to seeing the domineering attitudes of and realities about "thinkers" in the past. Someone wrote on FB, "The point of this presentation isn't to condemn anyone in the present for things done in the past , rather it's to learn from history so we don't repeat the crimes of the past." This video, I will argue, is a must watch.

I watched the youtube version, the longer version crashed firefox. It is thought provoking.

It is an interesting take on imperialism and colonialism. I think many of the world's problems stem from trying to force people into the mold of western culture.
