On November 5th, 2004, Equinox was asked,

Can you talk about public education in the United States?

EQ: And we would say what the heck is that? Because what has happened is public education within the United States has taken the single equation out of it, and it has become mass consciousness. Dost thou understand? So that each entity is not considered a unit with intricate possibilities and differing ways of viewing the planet. But instead is, “Oh, we know exactly what they are!” They are trying to become the Borg. dost thou understand?

The what?

From Star Trek.

EQ: Where all kids act, think and relay information identically, single minded and no real creativity. Dost thou understand this?

I do understand that. I guess I really wanted more to know…

EQ: What to do about it? Be a voice. Be as loud a voice as thee can. Agitate the other teachers who care. Make the families understand the system is creating mediocrity. It is not creating excellence.
