One good thing is that by and large people WANT to learn for its own sake and don’t need to be convinced. But it does need to make sense to learn given their actual material conditions. We can’t just assume it will happen without our care and attention to these conditions.

Why do they hate higher education? Because it gives power to the "wrong" people. Because queers, women, immigrants, and nonwhite people can leverage college degrees to gain power--possibly even enough power to topple the old white boys network, which is what they fear most of all.
