The short comic was illustrated by Dan Nott and written in collaboration with the core members of BFAMFAPhD. The comic uses a visual narrative to discus some of the interconnected problems of the modern day university, including skyrocketing costs for students and families, and administrative priorities that place capital investment and institutional growth before education.

Thinks boys can't be feminists? The seven boys who have taken my high school feminism class in the last two years disagree. They even got together to make a video to share the ways in which feminism has made an impact on their lives as young men.

"My reason for taking the feminism course is that especially in high school, there's not opportunities like this that come around, ever," says Bruke, a high school senior who took my feminism class when he was a junior in the fall of 2012.

"At one point, we wrote an intersectionality essay, and that taught me that nothing is really one-dimensional. Like you can't just be black. You can be black and gay; or like black, gay, disabled. There are many different things that don't relate to the master narrative," Nathaniel, senior, who also took my course in 2012 and later appeared with Gloria Steinem on Nick News on Nickelodeon to talk about feminism and young people.

"Every time you read a magazine, every time you listen to a song, you can hear the misogynist undertone," Russell, senior, who took my class just this past fall of 2013.

"It is a life-changing course," said Luis, senior.

Watch these seven boys share their thoughts on feminism. This week they are graduating from high school and will be continuing their work on women's and gender studies and feminist activism as they move on to their college years.

See if their stories can't convince you to teach a women's and gender studies class at your high school.

We are excited to announce the release of our newly produced Black Lives Matter At School video! This short primer for the movement gets its subtitle from the words of high school student Israel Presley who says, "All I ever see is us being slaves. Why don't you ever teach me about how we fought back, because I know my people are strong.

Black Lives Matter At School week of action will take place this year from February 4-8th in school districts across the country. Support the movement by signing the petition, sharing the video, and teaching for Black lives.

"Students should be actively involved with issues of governance, "including setting learning goals, selecting courses, and having their own,
autonomous organizations, including a free press" ( Aronowitz as cited in Giroux p.45)

"Schools are being treated as if their only purpose were to train future workers, and teachers are being viewed as corporate foot-soldiers whose ole it to provide students with the skills necessary for the business world. In short, part of the crisis of teaching is the result of a vision of schooling that subordinates issue of equity, community, and social justice to pragmatic considerations that enshrine the marketplace and accountability schemes that standardize the social relations of schooling."

"One develops a political identity and commitment -- a change in consciousness -- from joining demonstrations, marching, singing, joining, the activities of social justice organizations in one's neighborhood, etc. Participation creates individual participants; and it also leads to groups developing their own collective identity as social change agents."

“as public intellectuals… teachers must bring to bear in their classrooms and other pedagogical sites the courage, analytical tools, moral vision, time, and dedication that is necessary to return schools to their primary task: being places of critical education in the service of creating a public sphere of citizens who are able to exercise power over their own lives and especially over the conditions of knowledge acquisition…”

“As the neoliberal subject's survival is no longer dependent on society (it is now his or her own responsibility), he or she does not have the same commitment to the social. Consequently, skills for individual survival replace the essential values for maintaining the social fabric. In this context, then the neoliberal subject is one who chooses for her/himself among different social, political, and economic alternatives, not one who strives with others to transform or organize”
