Dear @KICDKenya

Every heard of the case Brown vs Board of education?

I'm planning to sue you for segregation, discrimination and marginalization for this policy of yours.

It's ridiculous. You have no right to decide for children what careers they will pursue.

You have no data saying that careers after school are exclusively determined by the subjects one did in school. Schools do not have equal resources for you to determine where people end up based on grades. @KICDKenya

In the research, CBC is targeting at disadvantaged children to get them out of schools, and in the West, at children of color. That makes CBC a racist curriculum. And I will get black American educators to testify that the curriculum you are implementing is racist. @KICDKenya

And then I will show the colonial education policies like the 1924 Phelps Stokes Commission which made the same proposals you are making now. And you know this because it was standard BEd curriculum. @KICDKenya

Ministry of Education has been behaving as a clearing for industry when its primary duty should be to THE PEOPLE OF KENYA. You have been negligent, you have never contacted me in the spirit of public participation despite the many times I have met your officials.

.@EduMinKenya's job was to figure out how to give quality education to all children. Instead you got CBC to ensure what to do with kids who do not access quality education. It was a cynical acceptance of inequality but you marketed it to Kenyans as being "differently talented."

CBC is a policy whose fundamental assumption is that all children in Kenya are not equal, that children do not have a right to the best quality education, and that they have no academic freedom to pursue the ideas they want to pursue. CBC is about GoK giving up on our children.

The Brown vs Board of Education ruled that separate but equal is necessarily separate AND unequal.

So is CBC.
