We don´t need [no] education


While the song is not the first example of the antieducation theme in popular music, it comes at a time when increasing numbers of students are questioning the value of their education. Thus, young people are responding to the song with uncommon — and unsettling — enthusiasm.

In May [1980], the South African government banned the song — and the album — "because "Another Brick" had become the anthem of a national strike of more than 10,000 "coloured" (mixed) students and their white supporters. The students had been protesting the inequality of spending on education for the various races, as well as "intimidation" by teachers, whose authority the Pink Floyd song challenges. The government ban forbids radio stations to play the record, stores to sell it, and individuals to own it.


I completely agree with the proposal of the movie, we should not follow a strictly system where we don’t have any voice and rights to think the way each one thinks. We are all persons that are born and sooner or later died, so we should all have the same access to education.  Although, we need a good education in order not to generate social problems. From my point of view, everyone should have the same opportunity and the way of teaching should be equal then it is over the student the idea of choosing what they have already learnt or not, always following the laws.

The education is a way of maintain the social control and human behavior imposed by the state, is the state the ones who have the premise of making the population "good" citizens to a healthy and harmonious coexistence. I think the education is the one to blame over the problems in each state.
