"A society cannot grow and prosper if it cages the young in received wisdom." This statement suggests that a society cannot truly progress if it only teaches its young people established ideas and discourages them from questioning or challenging those ideas. In order for a society to grow and prosper, it is important to encourage critical thinking, creativity, and innovation among its members, particularly its young people. This can help to foster new ideas and solutions to problems, and can lead to progress and advancement in various fields. Caging the young in received wisdom can stifle their ability to think for themselves and to come up with new ideas. It can also prevent them from learning how to question and analyze information, which are important skills for making informed decisions and solving problems. Encouraging young people to think critically and to explore new ideas can help to create a more dynamic and innovative society. It can also help to prepare them for the challenges and opportunities of the future, and to contribute to the growth and prosperity of their communities. In conclusion, it is important for a society to provide its young people with a well-rounded education that includes exposure to a variety of ideas and perspectives, and that encourages them to think critically and creatively. This can help to foster a culture of innovation and progress, and can contribute to the overall growth and prosperity of the society. #seo #contentwriting #criticalthinking #creativity #innovation #problemsolving #progress #education #youth #future #growth #prosperity #society #culture #innovation #newideas #questioning #analyzing #informeddecisions #dynamicsociety #wellroundededucation #varietyofideas

TribeTalk was created four years ago to address the rising #antisemitism and anti-#Israel bias on college campuses across the US. There's never been a greater need for our work, and we’re here to meet the moment. It’s our mission to prepare and empower Jewish students and their allies to address today’s most challenging issues as they navigate campus life. 👩🏫 Trainings. 📚 Workshops. 🏫 Seminars. 🗣 Tough conversations. 👀 Awareness building. 💬 Context. 💭 Nuance.

Today, while immersed in a group of children, I made a poignant observation that many may overlook. I realized that a significant number of these children attend school not out of passion or enthusiasm, but out of obligation. If given a choice, many would probably opt not to go. This is not just a fleeting comment; it's a grave indicator that deserves our attention. It reflects not only on the future of these children but also on the long-term implications for American society. Despite the abundant opportunities and comforts these children have, there seems to be a missing element in their appreciation of this privilege. A New Initiative for Awareness. This insight has led me to contemplate introducing a new educational program aimed at enlightening American children about the realities faced by their peers in developing countries. Countless children in these regions can only dream of educational opportunities, amidst the challenges of war and poverty. Our children need to understand the value of what they have and learn how education can be a transformative force in their lives and the lives of others. Our goal is to sow seeds of gratitude and motivation in our children, not only to appreciate their educational opportunities but also to inspire them to think about how they can make a positive impact in the world. #EducationAwareness #GlobalEducation #LearningForChange #pixologyFoundation

A great read for anyone wishing to better understand the complexities of antisemitism affecting our college campuses today. It is imperative that we educate ourselves in order to educate others. Hasbara Fellowships works to educate Jewish student leaders to help combat antisemitism, many times in partnership with leaders like Rena Nasar First from StandWithUs, the author of this informative piece.

Meet our Speaker: Bayo Akomolafe We are thrilled to welcome Bayo Akomolafe for an Activist Classroom that promises to stretch our ability to radically reimagine. Specific worlding events at large now suggest that the human is no longer the exclusive, independent subject we once thought we were. We must now contend with a world that exceeds us, a material world with intelligence and agency. How do we meet this world? What does it mean to think about activism and change through the posthumanist constraints now seemingly forced upon us? In this talk, Dr. Bayo Akómoláfé examines his theory of postactivism and invites a reformulation of the notions of change sponsored by the dominant ideology of humanism. At the heart of his exploration is the curious insight: “The way we address the crisis is part of the crisis.” Register to attend this session at our learning festival To Register Visit: https://lnkd.in/erAnMANH #youthxyouth #learningfestival #yxyactivists #youthactivism #educationtransformation

It’s time to call out the trend of American conservatives weaponizing our fight against antisemitism for their own reactionary agenda. Good for the Jews? Not so much. I am referring to the Education Department hearing in which the Presidents of Harvard, MIT and UPenn (my alma mater) were grilled by lawmakers about rising antisemitism on their campuses. Let me state from the start that I agree that some university leaders failed to adequately respond to Hamas's Oct. 7 attacks, and I also agree that some faculty members promoted antisemitism and justified terrorism. As a Jewish person with family in Israel, these are very serious concerns for me. As antisemitism and Islamophobia are real and serious problems on many campuses and must be proactively and meaningfully addressed for the safety of our students. However, I’m not convinced that “holding campus leaders accountable” for antisemitism is the real agenda behind these hearings and other recent attacks on higher education. Conservatives are always quick to identify a familiar culprit for every perceived problem on campus: DEI programs and “the woke-progressive mindset” they supposedly engender. DEI programs are crucial for providing equal opportunities for ALL!
