Today I learned that Harriet Tubman was typically broke and was not literate. Also, of course, she was one helluva lawbreaker.

Formal education and career goals are means of reproducing and reinforcing an oppressive social structure, not changing it, IMO.

@GuerillaOntologist Funny enough this post by @00Aaron made me think of our earlier discussion of civilization vs barbarism. The civilzed side made me want to argue that (formal) public education is a necessity for the unfortunate children who have no other means to education, but then I realized that many of the unformal education concepts, that the article was attrbuting to Tubman, were common in the more barbaric cultures. i.e., it takes a village, not a big corporate city.
