ABSTRACT

I propose that education for political power, freedom of thought and action, social equality, and maintaining or restoring dominated cultures can be achieved by making it a duty of governments and individuals to ensure a right to an education that includes an education in human rights. This proposal does involve planting a “wheel in the head.” However, this wheel in the head provides protection against authoritarian ideas and domination. A knowledge of human rights, I maintain, provides protection against wheels in the head that control and exploit the individual.
