Summary

This quote highlights the crucial role education plays in maintaining and preserving freedom. It suggests that an informed and knowledgeable society is less likely to be oppressed or controlled by tyrannical forces. By empowering individuals through education, they become equipped with critical thinking skills, the ability to question authority, and the knowledge necessary to advocate for their rights and resist potential oppression. Conversely, a population kept ignorant and uninformed is vulnerable to manipulation, making it easier for tyrannical regimes to maintain control and suppress freedom.
