If there is one skill that will determine whether Black Gen Alpha becomes the most liberated generation in our lineage or the most manipulated, it is critical thinking. Not coding. Not calculus. Not memorizing facts for standardized tests. Critical thinking is the ability to question, analyze, discern, and connect the dots, and it’s the foundation of every form of power in the modern world.

Black children are not being miseducated by accident. The system that miseducates them was designed to do so. American schools were never built to produce empowered Black thinkers, leaders, visionaries, or owners. They were built to produce compliant workers who could fit neatly into the economic hierarchy created long before our children were even born.
