Education for Fredrick Douglass

Education is a tricky thing. The present day most of the world believes that everyone should be allowed to learn and get an education. When slavery was legal it did not matter to the white man that the blacks got an education but in the 21 century, it matters that everyone gets an education. The main reason why education is so important, from my perspective is to show equality. Most countries have some sort of public school program. This is there to give everyone a chance, other words having an equal start. What happened to Fredrick and other slaves was trouble and in some places now we still have these problems but the difference is there illegal. We are trying to help eliminate those how are breaking the law. There are main reasons why this is bad but the reason that stands out to me is not everyone is getting a chance to live a good life.
