Episode Three, The Role of Educide In Our Everyday Life-The Endless War

In this episode of EDUCIDE, host Mike Cunningham delves into the concept of 'educide,' a term coined to describe the systematic destruction or manipulation of education. Tracing its roots to the Iraq War, Cunningham explains how 'educide' has evolved from the physical eradication of intellectuals to the subtle yet pervasive control over educational content by powerful entities like the media, politicians, and historians. By influencing what is taught, these entities can perpetuate cycles of ignorance and conflict, magnifying societal issues like homelessness and promoting an endless cycle of war. Cunningham highlights the need for recognizing and challenging these manipulated narratives to safeguard the integrity of education and effectively address both local and global challenges. He ties in a discussion on the potential positive impacts of reallocating funds from military spending to domestic needs such as education, housing, and healthcare.

Episode Two: Educide: American Sanctions Constitutional Or Not? Belarus Example

In this episode of EDUCIDE, Mike Cunningham discusses the implications of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) enacted in 1977, which grants significant powers to the president to regulate economic transactions during national emergencies.

Episode One: Educide: The Belarusian Genocide Hero Raphael Lemkin

In this episode of "EDUCIDE," Mike Cunningham explores the impactful legacy of Raphael Lemkin, notably his coinage of the term 'genocide' and advocacy for its recognition and prosecution under international law. Lemkin, a Polish-Jewish lawyer, was motivated by his personal experiences through the Armenian massacres and the Holocaust in World War II. His tireless efforts culminated in the formulation of the United Nations Genocide Convention in 1948, the first human rights treaty by the UN, which set a universal standard to prevent mass atrocities. Today, thanks to Lemkin's pioneering work, numerous international tribunals and bodies protect against crimes against humanity following the principles enshrined in the Genocide Convention.
