College has been embedded in our culture as necessary for a successful lifestyle. While the options to study once in an institution are diverse, getting to a decent university is the first step, and a challenging one at that.
Imagine this:
Implementation of an affirmative action bill that is no-longer based on racial and sexual demographics, but instead based on opportunistic demographics. Those who have been discriminated against by high schools can have restored hope and faith in America’s systems by gaining a second chance to receive higher education. Those who qualify do not have to worry about a record, get paired with a specialist social worker advisor for their time at the university, and graduate with a B.A. in anything; which automatically qualifies them for several entry-level jobs at an above-average pay rate that they would not be able to touch with a high school diploma. It would be a system-wide debunking of the social prisons we allow juvenile delinquents to become trapped in. With such legislature being properly enforced, the foundational values of American juvenile justice would prevail.
Sounds dope?
Imagine this:
An independent university system, powered by the NGOs and compassionate philanthropists of this country, specifically for previously incarcerated youth. A system where the professors, classes, and curriculum are centered around the experiences of America’s bastardized children- focused on teaching them the most beneficial subject matter. English and History courses that were not focused on the West- that instead were focused on people of color, revolutionary minds and times. Mathematics and Science taught in ways that were accessible to all students, not just the ones who were familiar with reading dense and complex textbooks. Learning languages would no longer be dominated by French, Spanish, and Chinese- but Swahili and Arabic. A university for world learners, producing young adults that will able to withstand the pressures of a system going against them and work to create change.
What can you imagine for reformation in our lifetime?
