Abstract

The Students at the Center (SAC) learning community in New Orleans challenges the premises of neoliberal education reform through an alternative social vision and an oppositional social praxis. It encourages students to be people who lead their communities rather than people who leave. SAC presents a model of democratic and egalitarian education that exposes, challenges, resists, and counters the enormous harm perpetrated by the neoliberal reorganization of public institutions. The young people who participate in the classes run by SAC view their own fate as individuals as linked to the survival, dignity and democratic potential of all people.
