Description[?]:
| We will resist indoctrination by obscurantists and fantasists. If school is worthwhile at all it should be a place for freedom of thought, not a place where we are chained with 'mind forged manacles' I went to the Garden of Love, And saw what I never had seen; A Chapel was built in the midst, Where I used to play on the green. And the gates of this Chapel were shut And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door; So I turned to the Garden of Love That so many sweet flowers bore. And I saw it was filled with graves, And tombstones where flowers should be; And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds, And binding with briars my joys and desires. - William Blake |
