Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom.” — Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed ⚓️ "The classroom, with all its limitations, remains a location of possibility. In that field of possibility we have the opportunity to labor for freedom, to demand of ourselves and our comrades, an openness of mind and heart that allows us to face reality even as we collectively imagine ways to move beyond boundaries, to transgress. This is education as the practice of freedom." — bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress.
