Quote by A. J. Muste
Educational enterprises do not for any length of time remain immune from the struggle of interests for power which is the dominant feature of social life under a class system.
Summary
This quote suggests that in societies with a class system, educational institutions are not exempt from power struggles between different groups with conflicting interests. It highlights the idea that education is subject to the influence of various social forces seeking to assert their power and shape the educational landscape to serve their own interests. These interests may include those of the ruling class or other groups seeking to maintain or challenge the existing social hierarchy. Despite their purported aim of nurturing knowledge and learning, educational enterprises are deeply entangled in larger power dynamics of society.
