    NOVEMBER: Global Week of Action - Reloaded!

(November 1, 2009)

 Public education systems, from kindergarten to university, must prioritize emancipating aspects, be free and accessible to all. A democracy only exists, if society consists of emancipated and self-determined individuals, that are able to critically reflect their society, developments and power structures. Any system that doesn’t fulfill these criteria is not a democracy.

Underlying society, and superior to constitutions are equality, and certain unalienable rights, inherent in all people in virtue of their very humanity, and it is only when this democracy is a living idea in the community that it can become a living fact in the state.
~ Racine Advocate, 1854
