Minnesota Law Disorientation Guide

"Please remember that you are inheriting a violently unequal world and despite what your textbooks may have taught you, we are to blame for it. Our education was about systematically numbing us to the negative impact of our 'success.' Our education was about thinking about issues like 'poverty' and 'racism' as abstractions and not as structural relations that we perpetuate every day. We're not interested in your fancy new job, don't really care about your salary, we're more interested in what you're going to do to use your degree and all of its privileges to undo your damage. We're more interested in how you are going to maintain an unwavering commitment to social and economic justice for all despite your entire social circles and discourse being shaped to make you the 1%. We're more interested in how we're going to continue to hold each other accountable for not selling out (even further than we have) and happily perpetuating rampant capitalism -- a system which requires displacement, exploitation, poverty, and genocide to continue. If you really think you're innovative then use your education to fix a system that isn't broken. . . . We got to do better. We are worth more than this. Reclaim change for your heart and not just for your pockets. What happened to our dreams of a better world?" - Darkmatter
