Peace Is Every Step
Thich Nhat Hanh
__If the curriculum is an expression of social relations and struggle, then we have to acknowledge that there is no neutral or abstract curriculum.__ Rather, when it comes to curriculum, all we are left with is a struggle over whose knowledge is considered of worth, and whether or not that knowledge provides us a clearer, more truthful understanding of the world.

Wayne Au
Rather than seeing the personal as distinct from the so-called political, feminists argue that we should pay particular attention to the ways in which our personal lives both affect and are affected by formal political rules in society. __How I spend my own money, what I dream about, how I dress, who I spend my time with, who I desire, what my gender is or isn't – all of these are highly political and social questions.__ This, of course, does not mean or imply that they should be subject to state control or interference. What it does mean is that __they are worthy subjects of political reflection, debate, and organised action__.

Paul Raekstad and Sofia Saio Gradin
