“Going to our school is an education in itself which is not to be confused with actually getting an education.”

“Going to school is not the same as going shopping. Parents should not be burdened with locating a suitable school for their child.

“Violence is Black children going to school for 12 years and receiving 6 years worth of education.”

“To educate the peasantry, three things are needed: schools, schools and schools.”
