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.

This is exactly why I post in these spaces—so I can learn just as much as I speak. I hadn’t heard of Pedagogy of the Oppressed before, but I just looked it up and I’m floored. That idea—that liberation must come from the oppressed themselves, and that internalized oppression must be rejected—is everything I believe about education, revolution, and reclaiming power.

Praxis as reflection and action… that hit me hard. I’m definitely going to dive deeper into Freire now. Thank you for sharing that knowledge with me.
