Cover art for Take The Power Back lyrics by Rage Against the Machine

I think this song is trying to comment on the fact that in conservative education system we are only taught one side of the story that has been sanitised. Like here in Australia for example we did not learn anything at all in the education system about the Aboriginals. We now learn more but still don't really cover the period during the first settlement, nor do we learn about the resistance to the European settlement.
