Citadels of Slavery

Gandhi, on page 458 of his autobiography, calls schools and colleges "citadels of slavery". He said "where a choice has to be made between liberty and learning who will not say that the former has to be preferred a thousand times to the latter?" And: "far better to remain unlettered for the sake of liberty than to go in for a literary education in the chains of slaves."

If I may add one more log to the fire: if the cost of a diploma is ignorance, then the price is too high.
