When you ask "why," and defy the system, and poke at what seems broken, you become the revolution by spurring the transformation from what is — into what will be.
The crumbling establishment needs fertile young minds more than young people need the establishment.

Real education is valuable, no matter where it comes from: an ivy league school, a public library or your grandmother.
Knowledge truly is power. Real knowledge and truth cannot be invalidated. Knowledge changes things, even if that knowledge does not have a seal of approval from the power structures.
Much of the educational system is a broken relic, a symbol of shortsightedness and corporate greed.
We must question the seats of authority, especially in education, and seek to understand what "valid" is and where authority originates.
The spirit of discovery cannot be cultivated on an assembly line of desks in classrooms.
Rebellious and adventurous souls have a way of leading us off the edge of the map, where the dragons are, to confront those dark beasts of our fear and ignorance.
