Declaration of Educational Warfare — A Manifesto from the Classroom Frontlines
> This is not a reform. This is a rebellion.
I wrote this as a public declaration—because the education system is not broken.
It was built this way.
What we call “school” is often just a pipeline: from trauma, to obedience, to silence. This isn’t about fixing it. This is about burning it down and building something that actually nurtures minds.

I study education in college. I’m from Brazil, and here, in order to graduate, we have to write a thesis.
Mine, which I’m still working on, is about anarchist schools as a path towards the inclusion of neurodivergent students, especially those who struggle with authority and discipline.
The main conclusion that has nothing to do with the content: The topic is extremely underresearched. I’ve been having a hard time finding stuff on anarchist schools, let alone more specific stuff about inclusion in those. So, basically, to anyone in the academia who might read this: we need more research on this!
That being said, I highly recommend anyone interested in education read Paulo Freire and Foucault. Your manifesto touches on a lot of issues that fall under Foucault’s concept of disciplinary power, which, imo, is the primary function schools serve in the present day, benefiting, of course, only those in power
