We think we know what the Black Eyed Peas frontman was trying to say, but we’d disagree with the follower who declared it “well-said.” Declaring war on education sounds a little bit more like this.

@_nunyabidniz I'm saying we need to fight for education…create a movement to educate and give the youth the proper tools…#openyourmind

That’s a little more clear. However, a short trip back in Will.i.am’s timeline complicates things a little further.
If you dont invest in youth #education the youth will end up in prison..then people that invest in prisons make money. #CHANGEit #stemFORall

shouldn't we invest more in education to match the privatization & investment in prisons? #educateNOTincarcerate

It’s not bad enough that kids go to prison; those capitalists who invest in privatized prisons make money that way.
The privatizing of prisons is one of the reason prisons have more funding then american schools…#INVESTinTHEfuture #stem in every ghetto

Its a set up…dont invest in inner city youth #education so they end up prison…then people that invest in prisons make money. #stemFORall

Whoa, it’s a setup! Someone’s trying to keep STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) from inner-city students so that they end up in privatized prisons so that investors make money building them. But who would do such a thing? Could one more tweet back into Will.i.am’s timeline uncover this monster?
Don't let america get in the hands of big business again…every kid needs #stem #INVESTinTHEfuture http://t.co/NKyd8LgK
