As the apostle Paul says, “‘Knowledge’ puffs up, but love builds up” (1 Corinthians 8:1). Learning for the sake of acquiring more than someone else is the definition of a puffed up education. But loving and building resources into the groups that have historically been disinvested in by both the system and by individuals? That’s what it means to love our school and our neighborhood: to build power, starting from the very bottom of the hierarchy.
