This video is an overview of a particular educational model that's been in existence in America for over 70 years. The institution is called "The Muhammad University of Islam" and it's curriculum is centered around what Minister Louis Farrakhan teaches, it enforces a discipline that engenders an almost militarist angle. As I watched this I thought perhaps this is why Farrakhan is considered one of the most feared black men in America, not because of what he preaches but because of his proven results with young black males and females in some of the most impoverished communities in America. They're student test scores are evenly matched with some of the highest results in the nation.
