Ikhwelo likaMongameli elithi “sibuyise imfundo yokushisekela izwe lethu ezikoleni zethu”Ngokudalwa kwe“ 1776 Commission ”okuhloswe ngayo ukulawula izikole zomphakathi kwaphinde kwangisiza ukuba ngishaye izinsimbi zami. Njengesakhamuzi esikabili saseGerman-American, ngakhulela eJalimane futhi ngokwakhiwa kohlelo lwezemfundo ngawazi kakhulu umlando wendawo engazalelwa kuyo.
Njengososayensi wezenhlalo, ngifunda izinqubo zokwehlukaniswa kwabantu, ukwehliswa kwesithunzi sabantu kanye nokwenza amademoni kwabanye. Ngiyazi kusuka kokuhlangenwe nakho kwami nobungcweti ukuthi imfundo yokufunda ukuthula ibala lezo zimo eziholela ebudloveni.
Isimemezelo sikaTrump "semfundo yokushisekela izwe" siyingozi.
Esikhundleni salokho, izikole zethu zidinga imfundo yokuthula ukusiza ukubhekana nalesi sikhathi sokubala ngezinhlanga nezinye izindlela zokungalingani ngendlela ebandakanya bonke abantu ngobuqotho - futhi zinikeze izingane zethu ithuba elingcono kakhulu lokufunda emaphutheni enhlekelele adlule.
NjengamaJalimane sisabhekene nomlando wokubulawa kwabantu lapho khona bobabili izisulu kanye nabenzi bokuQothulwa Kwesizwe besaphila. Ngikhumbula ngifunda a inoveli yezingane esikoleni esikhombisa ukukhuphuka kwamaNazi ngamehlo omfana waseJalimane nomngani wakhe ongumJuda oshonela ngokudabukisayo ngesikhathi kuhlaselwa ibhomu elaligcwele emnyango wendlu engaphansi kwebhomu. Imindeni eyake yahlala ngenjabulo nomndeni wakhe efulethini lamnqabela ukungena, ngoba kwakuwumsebenzi wabo wokushisekela izwe ukuvikela “uhlanga lwamaJalimane.” Abazali bakhe base beboshiwe futhi kungenzeka bathunyelwe ukuthi babulawe ngemuva kokuba bona laba bomakhelwane bebabikele iziphathimandla.
Kamuva, ezifundweni zomlando ezihlelekile, ngathola ikharikhulamu engacwengekile eyadalula ukuthi amaJalimane ajwayelekile ahlanganyela ebubini. Futhi ezikhathini eziningi ngike ngema phambi kwesiqubulo somsindo wokushisekela izwe esithi “Arbeit macht frei” (“Umsebenzi uyakukhulula”), ngiphawula isango lokungena lekamu lokuhlushwa eDachau.
Kuyangishaqisa ukuthi umbiko wakamuva ungakhombisa ukuthi "cishe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zabantu abadala baseMelika abazi ukuthi amaJuda ayizigidi eziyisithupha abulawa ngesikhathi sokuQothulwa Kwesizwe."
Wonke amaJalimane ayazi ukuthi kwenzekeni, futhi impela asiyiceli “imfundo yokushisekela izwe” evumelana nendaba yabamhlophe ephathelene nomlando wesizwe.
Ukuthatha kohlelo lwezemfundo kudlale indima enkulu eJalimane lamaNazi. Izikole kwakuyizinsimbi ezibalulekile zokuqinisa izinhlaka zamandla zamaNazi. Izinhloso zezifundo zamaNazi kwakuwukukhuthaza imibono yobuhlanga eyagcina ithethelele ukuQothulwa Kwesizwe. Konke lokhu kwenzeka ngomongo "wemfundo yokushisekela izwe" ngokususelwa ekuphakameni komjaho obizwa ngokuthi "umsulwa" eJalimane.
Ukuphawula kukaTrump nezinhlelo zakhe kusisa endleleni efanayo ngokuphika amaqiniso obandlululo oluhlelekile kubantu abamnyama, bomdabu, nakwabanye abantu abanemibala kuwo wonke umlando wase-US - kufaka phakathi izinto ezethusayo zokugqilazwa kwabantu, ukuhanjiswa ngenkani kanye nokubulawa kwabantu bomdabu, ukuthuthela kwamanye amazwe ngobuhlanga ukuvinjelwa, nokufakwa ngaphakathi eJapan, ngokwesibonelo.
Esikhundleni “semfundo yokushisekela izwe” eyingozi, izifundo zezifundo zokuthula zigcizelela isithunzi sabo bonke abantu futhi zihlose ukwehlisa udlame oluqondile—nsuku zonke kubulawa abantu baseMelika abangaphezu kwekhulu ngezibhamu kuthi abanye abangu-100 badutshulwe balimale—Nodlame olungaqondile. Lokhu okwedlule, ososayensi bezenhlalo abakubiza nangokuthi "udlame lwesakhiwo," ukucwaswa okuqhubekayo okuhleliwe nokucindezelwa abantu abamnyama, bomdabu, abantu bebala, i-LGBTQ, abokufika, amaSulumane, abampofu, namanye amaqembu angabusi ababhekana nosuku nosuku, noma ngabe ephelezelwa ukucwasa ngokweqile noma cha.
Imfundo yokuthula ifaka zonke izinhlobo zemfundo ehlelekile kusuka enkulisa ngokusebenzisa izinhlelo zobudokotela. Ucwaningo lwezifundo ngemfundo yokuthula ezimeni ezahlukahlukene selukhombisile ukuthi lungaba nomthelela muni kumongo wamanje wase-US. Izinhlelo zokufundisa ngokuthula zikhombisile ukuthi ziyi- indlela ephumelelayo yokufundisa nokunqoba ukungalingani emphakathini, imfundo yokuthula Iyakwazi ukubhekana nezinkinga ezithathe isikhathi eside, nemfundo yokuthula ingakwazi ukuphonsela inselelo ukulandisa okungokomlando okuvuma futhi kube nokujwayela izinhlobo zangaphambilini nezamanje zencindezelo nodlame.
Akukho ukushintshwa komlingo ukuvula imfundo yokuthula ezweni lonke. Izikole eziningi, nokho, sezivele zinezindlela zokulamula kontanga, ezilwa nobuxhwanguxhwangu, nezindlela zokuxazulula izingxabano noma imane nje yamukela imigomo yokufakwa, umusa nenhlonipho — njengoba ngibona esikoleni samabanga aphansi sendodana yami edolobheni elincane e-Oregon.
Kusenesidingo sokwengeza ukuqwashisa komphakathi nokuxhaswa kwezepolitiki kokwethulwa kwezifundo ezihlelekile zokufundisa ukuthula kuzo zonke izindawo zemfundo.
The Umkhankaso Wezwe Lomhlaba Wokuthula ilusizo olukhulu futhi ingasetshenziswa njengendawo yokuqala kunoma ngubani ongaphatheki kahle ngokufuna kukaTrump "imfundo yobuzwe" ukuqala ingxoxo emphakathini, namabhodi ezikole, noma nezikhulu ezikhethiwe zasekhaya nezikazwelonke.
Umlando waseJalimane "wemfundo yokushisekela izwe" kanye nemfuno kaTrump yamanje yokuthi "intsha yethu izofundiswa ukuthanda iMelika,”Kudinga ukubuyela emuva ngamandla ukuze intsha yethu ingakhuli ibe yisizukulwane esisha sama-fascists.
Khumbula i incwadi eshisa indawo ku-movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? Yize kwakujabulisa futhi kuyinhlekisa ngemibono yamaNazi, umongo womlando walesi senzakalo wawungokoqobo futhi wethusa kakhulu ezweni lonke "i-Aktion wider den undeutschen Geist" (Isenzo sokulwa nomoya ongewona owaseJalimane). Ngabe uyaqiniseka ukukubeka ngaphezu kukaTrump kanye nabasizi bakhe ekwenzeni ngokoqobo noma ngokusebenzisa izinqubomgomo ukuqala ukushiswa kwezincwadi? Sengibonile okuningi kakhulu eminyakeni emithathu edlule, ngakho-ke ngeke ngikwazi.
