The Education Liberator

Prior to the popularization of the Internet, the primary outreach and educational tool of the Alliance was a monthly publication, The Education Liberator. Because the articles and essays published in The Education Liberator remain foundational to the School Liberation movement, we've reproduced the contents of the The Education Libertator on this website.
