College Education is a Fundamental Right

The Unburdened Mind: Advancing Education as a Universal Right

The pursuit of knowledge is not a luxury item to be purchased, but a fundamental human right and the most potent engine of collective prosperity. Yet, in many developed nations, higher education has been commodified, leading to crippling student loan debt that suppresses economic vitality and inhibits social mobility. A radical restructuring of this system is required, one that simultaneously cancels existing student loan debt, establishes tuition-free college education, and, critically, institutes rigorous academic standards to ensure the integrity of scholarly degrees. Furthermore, the establishment of a globally-managed university system, financed by the United Nations (UN), represents the necessary next step in realizing education’s universal potential.The Unburdened Mind: Advancing Education as a Universal Right

The primary arguments against school vouchers rest on three pillars: the fiscal harm they inflict on public schools, the questionable or even negative impact they have on student academic performance, and the erosion of accountability and civil rights protections for students.
