If anyone claims the root problems that plague urban education are easy to articulate, they are deceiving you. To my mind, the current structure of urban education is broken beyond repair because it cannot be separated from a broken society. The Tolton Bank story is an out-of-the-box combination of apocalyptic and visionary fiction and nonfiction structured academically. Grounded in quantum science, evolution basics, and Christian theology, it presents a radical transformation of the way we all think and is built upon a variation of the wisdom of Albert Einstein when he said: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them." While I certainly did not intend to start out this way, our story begins by constructing a most gloomy overview of society. To call it a foundation of hopelessness would not be inaccurate, yet, it is a story of vision and hope. In 1904, Henry Adams argued that man had always found a way out of his troubles and that these dangerously accelerated modern times would be no different. But, and this is a huge but, he strongly argues that man will have to jump, to use his exact term, to a new social mind to survive. In the end, with a slight Noah's Ark flavor, the mythical Tolton Bank is an internally controlled organization named after Father Augustus Tolton, the first black priest in the United States. It is the culminating idea that fully integrates urban education, using a new curriculum theory, within a recognizable corporate bank structure whose critical purpose is to create capital, the wind behind the sails of our entire story and my vision for the future of urban education.
