Wow, I really appreciate this response. You’re right—what we’re dealing with isn’t just an education system that’s “not working,” it’s one that’s working exactly as intended. The standardization of thought, emotional suppression, and the illusion of choice all serve the same machinery.
You nailed it with: “Our most powerful weapon is questioning and reading from all sources.” That’s literally the whole point of my piece—if we aren’t allowed to ask who benefits from our ignorance, then we’re not being educated… we’re being indoctrinated. Thank you for bringing that clarity.
Wow, thank you so much for this comment—it means more than I can say. You’re doing vital work. I’ve felt for so long that anarchist, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-centered models are the future of education, but no one wants to fund or study them because they threaten the system’s power.
You’re not just researching—you’re planting seeds. I’m sending you so much strength as you finish your thesis. And thank you for the reminder about Freire and Foucault—I deeply connect with their work, and it’s an honor that my manifesto resonated with those ideas.
If you ever want to collaborate or build something bigger from this conversation, I’m here. Let’s keep shaking the ground.
