The left’s educational challenge

Posted by Jeff on September 4th, 2010

There are many potential answers to this question and a myriad of potential approaches. Beside the necessary assumption that education must be nonviolent if it doesn’t simply wish to intimidate or inspire fear, I have faith in the many creative people, organizations, political parties and movements on the left in Canada, and globally, to meet the greatest challenges facing us today, all of which are fundamentally educational. | by Adam Davidson-Harden | Canadian Dimension

   I think rather that the problem of education facing the left is a subset of the problem of leadership, which is lacking. The main problem is an organizational one. Thoughts, anyone?
