Many of us talk a lot about education for liberation. In fact, it’s been a big part of my life’s work since I was a teenager. But on days like today I remember that this work as an educator is just as much about my own liberation and healing as that of my students. And maybe only together, teacher-student and student-teachers, can we get closer to liberating our hearts and minds from the horrific traumas of this oppressive system, and in turn, radically transforming it.
