But we don't do that. — John Taylor Gatto
"Teachers"... treat students neither coercively nor instrumentally but as joint seekers of truth and of mutual actualization.

I'm encouraged because they now see that we can win on these issues. — Ed Garvey
This project started nearly twenty years ago as an assignment in my typography class at art school. Students were encouraged to see letters beyond their dull, practical functionality.

This became a lifelong project for me. — Ji Lee

Our accent will be upon youth: we need new ideas, new methods, new approaches. We will call upon young students of political science throughout the nation to help us.
