Access to knowledge and Jesus.

I have been thinking a lot lately about access to knowledge, privilege knowledge and our shitty, capitalist education system. Ideas:

1. The fact students have to pay absurd amounts of money for college.
2. In order to have access to academic knowledge, one must attend a college.
3. It is a capitalistic privilege to attend college, to access this knowledge.
4. In order to create and defend new theory, one must have access to a university/college.
5. Privileged people are theorizing about the experienced of those without privilege.  Wouldn't it make more sense to give the reigns to the oppressed?  The world would be much smarter.

I probably have an article on this. I will look later.

And god dammit, don't Christians know by now that Jesus definitely wasn't white?

That's all I've got for now...any thoughts?
