Freedom

Unschooling is about empowering children with the ‘Freedom to Learn’ so they will grow up to appreciate freedom & fight for it instead of obediently spending their childhoods being told to sit down, shut up, and do what you’re told. Compulsory schooling is child slavery so our society will never be free as long we continue to enslave children. Freedom from oppression, not responsibilities. Freedom is not conditional. Living free in an unfree world.

“Freedom is not just a concept. It’s a skill that we learn through experience. If we don’t allow children to explore and discover on their own terms, we’re robbing them of the chance to understand what it means to be truly free.” ~ Anthony Migliorino

Authority is the gatekeeper of freedom!

“To many, the concept of “authority” is the central pillar of their mind that serves as the gate keeper of freedom and sits idle waiting to quietly judge every desire they have and every decision they make.” ~ Jason Bassler

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

It’s got to happen inside first.” ~ Jim Morrison
