W.E.A. - 2

Well, a major WEA fuck-up today has spurred me on to write something about it.
Use it as a focus for writing about education, politics and post-modernism.
It is incompetent and bureaucratized for a reason. It is not simply an accident.
There is a celebration of anti-education in the WEA - or more precisely an approach to 'education' that guarantees that the receiver of it will never move beyond the formulaic challenges of 'old Marxism'.
My emotional response is very important too - as someone from a working class background who has educated himself via the higher education system, I strongly resent what they are peddling as education. It promotes passivity. It sucks. They are giving this to 'my people' - dumbing down so that the learners can feel 'educated' but not actually challenging anything at all.

The other huge thing is that no-one (??) has written anything that is critical of the WEA - apart from daft Trots and maybe some anarchist groups. Must find something....!
