I congratulate this young man on his efforts to use his fame for the greater good. I'm too old for his style of music, but I'm not to old to appreciate his good intentions. For his ideas to work, people have to realize that kids today need all the encouragement we can give them.

It's better than him not doing anything at all, Kanye West is a figure that influences the younger population. True his dropping out of college was a bad influence but saying how important a good education is a good influence(who would teens listen to more: Kanye West or some Education researcher who they've never seen before spouting out a few statistics and facts.)

Education is ... ( 7 months ago by ourearthhome)

Education is important but an educated public increases the value of land. Land is highly concentrated in ownership so the wealthy gain disproportionately from the benefit to society that an educated public brings. Schools could and should be financed out of the increased unearned value in property, i.e. land, that they confer on private owners but Americans have chosen to keep that value, engage in real estate speculation which is really land speculation and penalize young newcomers.

That makes my love for Kanye stronger than ever.The Educationnal system in America is weak,I can say that much for an immigrant myself.the system sucks, that's why you see a lot of kids drop out.They make those kids hate school cause they don't offer them enough intellectual tools they need and yeah some shit aren't even necessary to learn in High School.They need to make some changes in the system.And they need to do it NOW.That don't surprise me if they compare an Asian kid to an American kid
