Summary

This quote emphasizes the need to eliminate the barriers of class and race within education. It questions the purpose of education if it fails to instill in individuals the understanding that all humans are equal. The quote challenges the notion that education should solely be a means to secure higher-paying jobs, and suggests that it should instead foster empathy and recognition of shared humanity. Ultimately, it calls for education to be more than just a tool for personal gain, but a force for promoting equality and breaking down societal divisions.
