If a nation expects to be free and ignorant at the same time, it expects what never and never will happen

If a nation expects to be free while being ignorant at the same time, it expects what never and never will happen. The beginning of freedom is the dissemination of science
Science and freedom are two sides of the same thing. Likewise, ignorance and oppression come together and go together. There is no freedom in an ignorant society, and there is no oppression in an educated society.
