Let the churches and mosques continue their dumbing down but the school system should be a safe space for producing liberal minds - Olu Adegoke
Replace Religious and National Values with Philosophy.
Philosophy will teach you how to appreciate different belief systems without being enslaved to any ideology.
If you teach rudimentary logic, propositional reasoning, critical thinking and ethics to young minds, they won't grow up to be fanatics and definitely will not grow up to be Shekau. Quranic teachings produced Shekau and his likes.
CRK or Bible teachings influenced Rev. King. We don't need anyone to teach us that Muhammed literally spoke to an angel inside a cave or that a snake talked to Eve. We need people who will be open to several ideologies including religion but from a different angle.
Let the churches and mosques continue their dumbing down but the school system should be a safe space for producing liberal minds.
