What an excellent idea! If intellectual freedon is guarunteed under the charter, though, it's certainely not being respected. While I am grateful for an education, school seems like an endless monotony of western, patriarchal, capitalist brainwashing. When we think for ourselves or ask serious questions we are told that we're challenging authority (which apparently is bad), and to shut up and finish those comprehension questions. Freedom to Read week is certainly needed.
