Guiding quotes for the 2014-15 school year:

"The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves."
-Paolo Friere

"Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace- not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth."
-James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

"Freedom is what we do with what is done to us."
-Jean-Paul Sartre

"Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public"
-Cornel West

"You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people if you don't serve the people."
-Cornel West

"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons or property will be safe."
-Frederick Douglass
