What follows is the most irresponsible exercises in free speech I have ever seen. It was first printed in 1968 by some high school kids in America s industrial heartland and most recently (in english at any rate) in England after the riots there in 1982. Of course i reprinted it for purely educational purposes - just to show you how irresopnsible free speech can get. I take no responsibility for the actions of individuals who use this text.

Now that we got all the bullshit out of the way here are the 20 ways i ve been telling you about.

1. put a rotton apple or stale sandwich in the teachers desk.

2. steal the attendance book. add in and rub out ticks, and replace or just burn it. same goes for unguarded conduct sheets or reports. don t miss your chance.

3. fill a syringe (minus needle) with mixed epoxy & alcohol. you now have 30 minutes to fill locks, etc., before the glue hardens. you can also use cement, super glue or even bits of wood, nails, etc.

4. another use of the syringe is to pretend to shoot up when the teacher is watching. explain that that you have to do it because school is so horrible

5. phone the school at random times. try flood, fire or bomb warnings. disguise your voice and hold a handkerchief over your mouth.

6. pretend to have food poisoning. (after lunch break) get lots of people to join in. roll on the floor, or get sick by pushing your fingers down your throat. try it in assembly. with luck you can start general panic.

7. draw or paint slogans on roll down maps or slide screens. obscenities are best

8. hand out notices to new pupils telling them which teachers are nasty & why.

9. bad food? have a good old fashioned food riot.

10. organize massive searches for lost contact lenses in gym class or in hallways between classes. don t let anyone walk through the hall as they might step on it. pretending you ve lost something is a good cover for all kinds of subversive behavior.

11. if you still have to wear uniforms, try wearing them back to front in protest. or dare boys & girls to wear each other s uniforms. if this doesn t work, try a blanket protest.

12. try political games. school is 12 years brainwashing without trial. slowdowns, work to rules, strikes and occupations are fun. but don t let leaders or ego trippers speak for you.

13. get everyone to bring in all their pets to school to show the teacher.

14. write down a list of all the stupid rubbish or rules you have to learn & hand it out on sports day or open day.

15. now & then get loads of students to rush to the office to get a rumor confirmed or denied.

16. make a citizens arrest on your worst teacher. drag him/her in front of the class and put him/her on trial for rotting the minds of youth.

17. rip off dishes and silverware from the cafateria, office equipment from the office, paint etc. from the art room, light bulbs from the sockets, toilet paper from the jacks, etc.,etc. donate them to yourselves or local anarchist group.

18. durring lunch break turn on and light all gas taps in the science lab. make sure your not caught at this prank & try a good disguise.

19. get everyone to demand to see their school records files, everyone else (police, social workers, etc.) is allowed to see them.

20. make a fuse by sticking a cigarette between the two rows in a match book. non-filter cigarettes are good but marlboro are best cause they use more nitrate to make em burn faster. toss the fuse in a waste bin, or anywhere with lots of burnables. the office is best. wait 5 minutes. call alarm yourself to avoid any accidents. practice at home first.
