The quote below by Richard Wolin in the May 21, 2012 issue of The Nation explains the relationship between education and social inclusion.
"For the first time, men and women of diverse social backgrounds were afforded the opportunity to cultivate the knowledge and self-understanding necessary to surmount the oppressive constraints of class, race and gender."
The reference is to the GI Bill that paid for WWII veterans to attend college in the U.S.
