Arne Duncan – “Education is a fight for Social Justice”

Temple of Mut brought this Youtube video to my attention. It is of Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. At the 1:46 mark, Duncan indicates “Education is a fight for Social Justice”.

So what’s the significance of “Education is a fight for Social Justice”? “Social Justice” is used to promote an anti-capitalist agenda, here is a review from LewRockwell.com:

…..it is typically associated with left wing or socialist analyses, policies and prescriptions. For example, poverty is caused by unbridled capitalism; the solution is to heavily regulate markets, or ban them outright. Racism and sexism account for the relative plight of racial minorities and women; laws should be passed prohibiting their exercise. Greater reliance on government is required as the solution of all sorts of social problems. The planet is in great danger from environmental despoliation, due to an unjustified reliance on private property rights. Taxes are too low; they should be raised. Charity is an insult to the poor, who must obtain more revenues by right, not condescension. Diversity is the sine qua non of the fair society. Discrimination is one of the greatest evils to have ever beset mankind. Use of terminology such as “mankind” is sexist, and constitutes hate speech.
