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 Education Liberator on this website.
Volume 1 - 1995-1996
