The irony of telling people, “If you want your children to have freedom of self-expression, send them to an international school,” is wild to me. Do you understand the tone we’re setting for classism? We’re basically saying that freedom,the right to choose how to wear your hair, dress, or express yourself, is reserved for the privileged. That if you want your child to have choices, you must buy them. That in Ghana, choice is for the rich. Everyone else must obey. Think about it, we’ve built a system where: To get better education, you need money. To get better healthcare, you need money. To live with dignity, you need money. And if you’re poor, you have no choice. No freedom. No voice. What’s sad is, even the most “progressive” people defend this. The same people who call themselves woke don’t see the irony in saying “then take your child to a better school.” You’re admitting that equality doesn’t exist, and you’re fine with it. And No I won’t stop speaking on this, even if the change will not be in my lifetime. Because I understand that the privileges I enjoy today, are because someone fought for me..
