The following section is reprinted from the 'School Stoppers Textbook', a small section of the 'How to Revolt
Handbook', the fourth book of.... 'The Blacklisted News', available for 13 bucks from the Youth International
Party (Yippies). OK here we go . . . 81 ways to trash your school.

Liberate your life -- smash your school! The public schools are slowly killing every kid in them, stifling their
creativity and individuality making them into non-persons. If you are a victim of this one of the things you can do
is fight back.

This chapter is not written for people who are not yet sure whether school is good or bad. It is written for
students that realize the way that compulsory education and grades destroy the natural curiosity so many
children feel ... who realize how the tracking system keeps the poor people and minorities in our society on the
bottom while keeping the rich and powerful on the top ... who realize the danger of teaching complete
obedience to authority and who are fed up with the racism and sexism in schools. It is written for students who
have 'gone through channels' trying to correct these problems and who are tired of helplessly waiting while the
schools destroy more and more minds each day. It is written for young people who realize that because they are
trapped in school they don't have a chance to learn what they need to know to create a free and good life.

your particular area. Not all of them will be effective at all times in all areas. If you think of other ideas please
send them to us so we can print them in future editions. (YIP address is same as Overthrow mag. in general
