"We are a group of people who are committed to each other; we're committed to studying with each other, to arguing about what's right and what's wrong. About deciding as a whole what to do and then going forward and carrying it out. That's the only way we can find out whether or not what we've decided is right or wrong. And that is the contribution we have to make and the contribution the revolutionary movement as a whole has to make to the people of this country."
"If this is a firm, and if the board of regents are the board of directors, and if President Kerr in fact is the manager, then I tell you something — the faculty are a bunch of employees! And we're the raw material! But we're a bunch of raw materials that don't mean to have any process upon us, don't mean to be made into any product, don't mean to end up being bought by some clients of the university, be they the government, be they industry, be they organized labor, be they anyone! We're human beings!"-Savio
They tried to get me with their learning and their books,
their deep understanding and intelligent looks.
All of the time, they never ever saw me,
they were just looking for what they wanted to see.
They know it all, that's what they want you to think,
but if you read between the lines, you'll see the missing link.
The books are easy back-ups for what they do to you,
they'll bind you up as slaves for the privileged few.
Then they'll prove their lies with history, say "That's the way it always was,accept the slavery or mastery, be one of us." crass
I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed.
If education is to become relevant to the young of this electric age, we must also supplant the stifling, impersonal and dehumanizing multiversity with a multiplicity of autonomous colleges devoted to an in-depth approach to learning. This must be done immediately, for few adults really comprehend the intensity of youth's alienation from the fragmented mechanical world and its fossilized educational system, which is designed in their minds solely to fit them into classified slots in bureaucratic society.To them, both draft card and degree are passports to psychic, if not physical, oblivion, and they accept neither. A new generation is alienated from its own 3000-year heritage of literacy and visual culture, and the celebration of literate values in home and school only intensifies that alienation. - McLuhan
