“Teachers get away with killing dreams day in and day out around this country.” - @Ernest Crim III @btbep.podcast and @mrcrim3 conversation cuts deep, exposing the insidious violence lurking within our education system. It’s not just about physical altercations; it’s about the daily erosion of dreams, the stifling of potential, the subtle and not-so-subtle acts of aggression that leave lasting scars. Mr. Crim’s point resonates with chilling accuracy: policing, schools, healthcare—they’re all branches of the same toxic tree, rooted in systemic oppression. Teachers, often seen as nurturing figures, can inadvertently become agents of this violence, killing dreams with careless words, biased expectations, and a fundamental lack of understanding. Because it’s not always headline-grabbing, because it doesn’t always go viral, this emotional and intellectual violence often goes unchecked, unacknowledged. But the impact is real. The system itself, as they so powerfully articulate, is violent. It perpetuates inequality, reinforces stereotypes, and crushes the spirits of countless students. This conversation isn’t just about exposing the problem; it’s about demanding change, demanding accountability, and demanding an education system that nurtures, empowers, and uplifts, rather than one that diminishes and destroys.
