The curse and crime

of white men's 'education'
(probably the most enduring colonialism)
is that, like any patristic religion
it is a top-down oppression,
not a bottom-up efflorescence.

This is hardly surprising,
since it originated in medieval monasteries.

Children should learn what appeals to them,
and about what is around them.
Squares and hypotenuses, gerunds and gerundives,
optative moods and the Napoleonic Wars
can come later, if desired or even necessary.
