Michelle Obama once asked her mother why she was holding Barack's hand on election night. Her mother replied, "His father left when he was two. He lost his mother to cancer. He was moments away from becoming the leader of the free world with no parents, so I took his hand."

Political intolerance, bigotry, and binary-mindedness on social media did not emerge from nowhere. Part of it reflects how we educate.
First, the average social media citizen attended at minimum, basic school; that is why they can type, read.
An education system built on memorization, obedience, and “one correct answer” can unintentionally produce citizens who struggle with disagreement, nuance, and critical inquiry.
When learning is reduced to recalling facts rather than interrogating them, we raise citizens who are often ill-prepared for pluralism.
When learners are not taught to debate respectfully, interrogate evidence, tolerate opposing views, and separate disagreement from hatred, social media easily becomes a battlefield instead of a marketplace of ideas.
Democracy requires more than literacy. It requires the ability to listen, reason, disagree, and still coexist.
Perhaps the question is not only what we teach in school, but also how we teach it.
While there have been efforts at reform, what makes reform even more difficult is that the educator expected to change this binary mindset was often educated within the same system.
A teacher trained to conform, avoid questioning authority, prioritize recall over reasoning, and treat dissent as indiscipline may unconsciously reproduce the same culture in the classroom.
If in doubt, one only needs to observe the tone of public exchanges on my timeline. A disturbing number of those who resort quickly to insults, invectives, and political labelling often present themselves as educators on their profile.
Once disagreement enters the conversation, reasoned engagement is sometimes replaced by hostility, reducing complex issues to sides, slogans, and suspicion.
If education normalises compliance over questioning, and recall over reasoning, then it should not surprise us when public discourse reflects the same constraints often expressed in binary terms: right or wrong, friend or enemy, patriot or traitor.
Meaningful change in this regard is generational, and even then, not guaranteed because, even as learners leave school, the political system continues to normalize ‘us and them’ politics.

🎙️ MISTAKE: The 7 career killers every presenter must avoid
I’ve seen talented people enter media… and disappear just as fast.
Not because they lacked skill but because of simple mistakes.
Let’s fix that. Quickly.
Here’s MISTAKE 👇
M – Mouth Running Too Much
Talking is not the job. Communicating is.
The best presenters know when to pause.
I – Ignoring Preparation
No research = no respect.
You sound exactly as prepared as you are.
S – Sounding “Too Foreign”
Your power is your authenticity.
Clarity beats accent. Every time.
T – Talking Over Guests
Interrupting kills flow.
Great hosts listen like pros.
A – Avoiding the Producer
Your producer is your lifeline.
Ignore them and your show suffers.
K – Killing Team Spirit
Talent opens doors. Attitude keeps them open.
Be easy to work with.
E – Ego Taking Over
The moment you think you’ve “arrived”… you decline.
Stay hungry. Stay learning.
Here’s the truth:
Careers in media don’t usually crash loudly.
They fade quietly because of habits like these.
Fix them early.
And you won’t just survive… you’ll stand out.
