このコンテンツについて
In this powerful, wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Ndindi Kitonga critiques the commodification of education and describes her school, Angels Workshop School, as a working-class, community-rooted democratic alternative that fosters critical consciousness, empathy, and civic courage. She contrasts her approach with elitist models like Elon Musk’s Ad Astra, which, despite good intentions, devolved into exclusionary and performative education. Dr. Kitonga underscores the importance of real-world engagement—like public transit use, protest participation, and discussing taboo topics like Palestine—to nurture students who are not only informed but also morally grounded. She advocates for scaling out through networks of small, autonomous schools rather than scaling up into centralized institutions, emphasizing humility, lived practice, and trust in the collective intelligence of everyday people.
