The following section is reprinted from the 'SchoolStoppers Textbook'.
|
|
- a small section of the 'How to Revolt Handbook', the fourth book of...
|
|
'The Blacklisted News'. Available for 13 bucks from the Youth International
|
|
Party (Yippies). OK here we go - 83 ways to trash your school.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Liberate your life - smash your school! The public schools are slowly killing
|
|
every kid in them stifling their creativity and individuality turning them
|
|
into non-persons. If you are a victim of this one of the things you can do is
|
|
fight back. This chapter is not written for people who are not yet sure
|
|
whether school is good or bad. It is written for students that realize the
|
|
way that compulsory education and grades destroy the natural curiosity so many
|
|
children feel - who realize how the tracking system keeps the poor people and
|
|
minorities in our society on the bottom while keeping the rich and powerful on
|
|
the top - who realize the danger of teaching complete obedience to authority
|
|
and who are fed up with the racism and sexism in schools. It is written for
|
|
students who have 'gone through channels' trying to correct these problems and
|
|
who are tired of helplessly waiting while the schools destroy more and more
|
|
minds each day. It is written for young people who realize that because they
|
|
are trapped in school they don't have a chance to learn what they need to know
|
|
to create a free and good life.
|
|
|
|
Before trying any of the ideas in here you should think about the effect they
|
|
will have in view of the situation in your particular area. Not all of them
|
|
will be effective at all times in all areas. If you think of other ideas
|
|
please send them to us so we can print them in future editions. (YIP address
|
|
is same as Overthrow mag. in general section -sysop II).
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHAT YOU CAN DO
|
|
|
|
1. Get a syringe [minus needle] or similar device. Mix both tubes of epoxy
|
|
glue with a little rubbing alcohol. You now have about half an hour to
|
|
fill locks, door jams, etc. before glue hardens. If you can't get the
|
|
epoxy glue and syringe a tube of airplane cement can also be used although
|
|
it is not as permanent.
|
|
|
|
2. An alternative use for the syringe is to pretend to shoot up while a
|
|
teacher is watching. If they speak to you tell them you have to do it
|
|
because school is so horrible.
|
|
|
|
3. Call the school and leave the phone off the hook. The way some (but not
|
|
all) phone systems work this will tie up their phone for as long as yours
|
|
is off the hook.
|
|
|
|
4. Protest U.S. aid to reactionary regimes abroad by defoliating plants around
|
|
the school or by digging a bomb crater on the front lawn. When the ecology
|
|
freaks complain ask them where they were when the U.S. was doing the same
|
|
thing to Indochina.
|
|
|
|
5. Draw or paste something 'obscene' on pull-down wall maps or movie screens.
|
|
|
|
6. Get some of the punch cards that you school uses for taking attendance.
|
|
Punch new holes in them either with a keypunch machine or a screwdriver.
|
|
Then switch the cards with others wherever they are stored. If you can
|
|
figure out the code the cards are punched by this has even more
|
|
possibilities. You can often be just as effective without actually
|
|
repunching the cards by redistributing them a few days after you collect
|
|
them (particularly when they're used for attendence).
|
|
|
|
7. Start an information service to let new students opinions and warnings
|
|
about the teachers and administrators before enrollment day.
|
|
|
|
8. Bad food? Have a good old fashioned food riot.
|
|
|
|
9. In gym classes or in hallways between classes have massive searches for
|
|
'lost' contact lenses telling people not to walk through the hall or "you
|
|
might step on it".
|
|
|
|
10. If your school still has s dress code protest it having everyone do
|
|
something disruptive that does not violate the code. For example dye your
|
|
hair green with food coloring.
|
|
|
|
11. Free all the animals in the biology classroom.
|
|
|
|
12. Write a 'consumer report' on the 'education' you've been consuming.
|
|
Distribute it to parents at school functions.
|
|
|
|
13. Periodically have students go to the office to have some rumor confirmed
|
|
or denied.
|
|
|
|
14. Perform citizen's arrests of administrators for destroying the minds of
|
|
youth then telephone the police to come and take the criminals into
|
|
custody. This would be an excellent guerilla theatre action.
|
|
|
|
15. Rip off dishes and silverware from the cafeteria, towels from the gym,
|
|
stencils and paper from the duplicating room layout equipment from the art
|
|
and drafting departments, tools from the wood shop and light bulbs from
|
|
the sockets. Give them to a needy movement group.
|
|
|
|
16. During lunch turn on and light all the gas jets in the science labs.
|
|
|
|
17. Demand to see your school records on file. (Everyone can see them).
|
|
|
|
18. You can make a very effective fuse by inserting a non-filter cigarette in
|
|
a book of matches so that it touches the head of some matches and will
|
|
ignite them when it burns down that far. Then loosly crumple paper around
|
|
the matches and cigarettes so that they are hidden. Toss it in a
|
|
wastebasket or any other area with a lot of papers preferably in the
|
|
office. It takes 5 minutes to ignite - by then you can be on the other
|
|
side of the building. Practice this at home before trying it.
|
|
|
|
19. Have giant coughing or sneezing epidemics in class or study hall.
|
|
|
|
20. Rub lipstick/glue/vaseline or shit onto the doorknobs of the school's
|
|
administrative offices.
|
|
|
|
21. Swallow some snake bite antidote then walk into the principal's office.
|
|
The antidote (most types are harmless - make sure you get that kind) will
|
|
make you vomit. Do so all over his carpet, desk, clothing, etc. then
|
|
apologize profusely.
|
|
|
|
22. Pick up some dog training liquid at any pet store - it smells like
|
|
concentrated piss. And if you can't figure out what to do with that then
|
|
you shouldn't be reading this.
|
|
|
|
23. Remove contents of teacher's mailboxes. Print up everything that's
|
|
confidential or interesting.
|
|
|
|
24. Leave notes and hints that 'Tuesday's the day'.
|
|
|
|
25. Impersonate parental voices and make irritating phone calls to the office.
|
|
|
|
26. Make a super stink bomb out of Hydrogen Sulfide and put somewhere in the
|
|
ventilating system. This has cleared school buildings for days.
|
|
|
|
27. If your school has a suspended ceiling (that is a ceiling composed of
|
|
rectangles or squares resting on a frame so that the rectangles can be
|
|
pushed up) you can put a dead fish or anything else above them. Or put it
|
|
into empty lockers and glue them shut.
|
|
|
|
28. Put signs on your locker saying 'this locker will self-destruct if opened
|
|
for inspection'.
|
|
|
|
29. Give your school library a subscription to a good underground newspaper
|
|
from your area and insist that they make it available to students.
|
|
|
|
30. Print up false notices frequently using the same format as the school uses
|
|
and distribute them to the teachers mailboxes. Eventually they'll never
|
|
know what to believe.
|
|
|
|
31. Make your own passes, forms, tickets, etc. or lift them out of teachers'
|
|
desks.
|
|
|
|
32. Need a signature? Collect things that have teachers' signatures on them.
|
|
Paste them all down on a sheet of white paper and either xerox or print up
|
|
a bunch of copies. Forge when useful. When getting started you might
|
|
put a piece of carbon paper under the signature with the carbon paper
|
|
facing down on what you want signed. Then trace over the name with a
|
|
steady relaxed hand. Practice makes perfect.
|
|
|
|
33. Do some revolutionary wall painting. All you need is a can of spray paint
|
|
(red?) plus a little imagination and courage. Then write your favorite
|
|
slogans on walls, sidewalks, blackboards -etc. If you are a perfectionist
|
|
you can make a stencil, but that limits the size of what you can do. WEAR
|
|
GLOVES or you will certainly get tell-tale paint on your spraying finger.
|
|
|
|
34. Are certain teachers or administrators misbehaving? Print up a rat sheet
|
|
with their names and telephone numbers and distribute it. Now students
|
|
can call up at any time and reprimand them - 3.00 A.M. for example. Also
|
|
you could order them pizzas, plumbers, think big!
|
|
|
|
35. Break into your school at night and burn it down. To get inside you can
|
|
either hide in the building during the day and wait until the janitor
|
|
leaves (know in advance what time that is) or come in later at night and
|
|
either force your way through the door -find an open window, or break a
|
|
window (see Monroe Mindfuck). If you use the latter method do it a few
|
|
hours or days in advance so you don't get caught if it attracts attention.
|
|
Be careful not to leave fingerprints - wear gloves all the time if
|
|
possible. Once inside make sure the walls will light well by placing
|
|
loose paper or wood around them -or squirting lighter fluid, kerosene or
|
|
gasoline onto them. If alot of burnable boxes are stacked in one area
|
|
spread them around. Start the fire from the inside of the building so it
|
|
will take longer before it can be seen from the windows. Make sure the
|
|
fire has a way to travel from one burnable area to another. Of course you
|
|
should wear dark clothes and know exactly where you are going when you
|
|
split.
|
|
|
|
36. Get hold of a film to be shown at a school assembly and splice in parts of
|
|
another movie of your own choosing before the assembly. A little
|
|
imagination on your part will make for an unforgettable day.
|
|
|
|
37. Clog up the drains of sinks with clay then turn on the water after
|
|
everyone leaves school.
|
|
|
|
38. Teachers often leave gradebooks, conduct sheets and attendance records
|
|
unguarded. Take every chance to help yourself.
|
|
|
|
39. Put up posters all around the school. To make them stick permanently, use
|
|
Pet evaporated milk for glue.
|
|
|
|
40. You could ice-pick tires as a warning, but make sure you have a total
|
|
enemy before you put sugar in their gastank.
|
|
|
|
41. Start wailing in the halls.
|
|
|
|
42. If you can't find any skunks, let chickens loose in the school or pigeons.
|
|
|
|
43. Create the 'WEB OF THREAD' in your classroom. Have everybody in your
|
|
class bring a spool of thread - with extras for people who forget. Tie
|
|
your thread onto something and pass the spools around till you run out,
|
|
winding thread around everything. (It is best to pick on one of your more
|
|
dullwitted teachers for this one). Expalin that you did it in the name of
|
|
art.
|
|
|
|
44. Carry and pretend to sell oregano rolled in papers and aspirin with the
|
|
name filed off.
|
|
|
|
45. Put Calcium Carbide (available in some parts of the country as
|
|
'Gopher-Go'. (Also available in some hobby and joke shops) in a gelatin
|
|
capsule and flush down a toilet or sink. Calcium Carbide reacts violently
|
|
with water, quickly producing large amounts of gas and bursting pipes etc.
|
|
as soon as the water disolves the capsule.
|
|
|
|
46. Ride a bicycle down a busy hall.
|
|
|
|
47. Save your book reports and essays. Give them to other students to use
|
|
next year or re-use them yourself with different teachers.
|
|
|
|
48. Play with lighting and microphone controls during 'important' assemblies.
|
|
|
|
49. Flush things down the toilets (preferably faculty johns) like baloons
|
|
filled with air, baseballs, M80's ,huge amounts of toilet paper, etc. Then
|
|
build an ark.
|
|
|
|
50. Start a campaign to have the letter Z appear everywhere as the mark of
|
|
angry students.
|
|
|
|
51. You can short-circuit the school's wiring by taking a regular plug with a
|
|
short cord attached. Connect the two wires with a switch between them.
|
|
Plug it in, turn the switch on and you've blown a fuse. Turn it off, pull
|
|
it out and try another. You don't have to use the switch, but if you
|
|
don't sometimes the current will arc and weld the plug to the socket.
|
|
|
|
52. Set up a fake school and hire away the lousy teachers, or put up notices
|
|
inviting the entire school to a going away party for a teacher who isn't
|
|
really leaving.
|
|
|
|
53. Read the school budget. Reprint and distribute a list of the stupid
|
|
expenditures.
|
|
|
|
54. Take booze to lunch in a thermos and pass it around.
|
|
|
|
55. During some important test (SAT/ACT/etc.) on each subject have some
|
|
student who is good at that subject stand up and read the correct answers
|
|
for as long as possible. When they're finished or silenced have someone
|
|
else stand up and do the same thing. The test results will be worthless
|
|
and it will have to be given over at great cost to the school.
|
|
|
|
56. Take down the American flag in front of the school and put up one of your
|
|
own. The best way to do this is to lower the flag that's already up
|
|
replace it with your flag and cut the rope about a foot below where the
|
|
flag is attached. Then tie a slip knot around the other end of the rope
|
|
that is hanging down to raise the flag. At this point there is no way
|
|
your flag can be lowered without someone climbing up the flagpole.
|
|
|
|
57. Put alarm clocks in various lockers set on 'loudest'. Set the alarm
|
|
clocks so they will go off about every 10 minutes then close and lock the
|
|
lockers.
|
|
|
|
58. Have a group of people march around the school with a flag singing the
|
|
Star Spangled Banner. If the administration tries to punish you telephone
|
|
your local radio stations and patriotic groups and complain that your
|
|
school is being run by pinkos.
|
|
|
|
59. In a class where there is a rule against chewing gum have everyone blow a
|
|
bubble at the same time one day.
|
|
|
|
60. Many schools have automatic sprinkler systems which go off automatically
|
|
when sensors in the ceiling feel too much heat. Find the sensors and hold
|
|
up a match to them.
|
|
|
|
61. Persuade the graduating class to use their senior gift money for something
|
|
useful or subversive.
|
|
|
|
62. Reprint SchoolStoppers Textbook in your underground paper or on a leaflet
|
|
or buy bulk copies and pass them around.
|
|
|
|
63. Demand that all equipment being stored rather than being used be made
|
|
available to students.
|
|
|
|
64. If your school won't have a teacher evaluation make up some forms and do
|
|
it yourself. Compile the result and publicize them to students, faculty,
|
|
school board, and community.
|
|
|
|
65. Use your 'free choice' book reports, term papers, etc. to read
|
|
revolutionary literature and further the political education of you and
|
|
your class.
|
|
|
|
66. Have a student lie on the ground. When a teacher comes scream 'he jumped'
|
|
and point to the roof or third floor window. Mumble "Fred dared him" or
|
|
"Maybe it was LSD."
|
|
|
|
67. Make an address list of disliked adults in your school. Answer sex ads
|
|
for them or order them a few gross items (C.O.D. of course).
|
|
|
|
68. Toss handfuls of BB's on the floors of busy halls, assemblies, graduation
|
|
ceremonies, weddings, funerals.
|
|
|
|
69. Steal cafeteria trays or plates, burn large holes in them and turn them
|
|
into the school washer saying "I guess the food did it".
|
|
|
|
70. Leave phony letters of resignation from teachers or administrators on the
|
|
principal's desk.
|
|
|
|
71. Get a small group to always carry screwdrivers and slowly dismantle the
|
|
school.
|
|
|
|
72. Lots of bomb scares tend to break up the boredom especially during exams
|
|
or on beautiful days.
|
|
|
|
73. Photograph teachers and administrators constantly, even without film.
|
|
|
|
74. If you've got the nerve piss in your pants while giving an oral report.
|
|
|
|
75. Splice into your school's intercom system (from a remote hidden spot).
|
|
Now you have your own guerilla radio station. Play on!
|
|
|
|
76. Drop large bottles of ether in science class.
|
|
|
|
77. Hang your teacher! Hang a hangman's noose from a tree, make a dummy and
|
|
hang the dummy from the noose. Pin notes on it like 'Weatherbee in '73.'
|
|
To add realism put holes in the body then let dilute ketchup trickle down.
|
|
|
|
78. Newspaper stands in buildings are usually left unguarded. Take out papers
|
|
and replace with rotten comics or papers.
|
|
|
|
79. Put a rotten apple or stale sandwich on teacher's desk.
|
|
|
|
80. If your school intercom has phones that connect into the intercom
|
|
switchboard, put a small magnet either where the cord comes out of the
|
|
handset or in the part where you hear. If the intercom just has a
|
|
speaker, put the magnet near or on one of the electrical connections of
|
|
the speaker. In either case it will short out the system. It may take
|
|
weeks for them to find the trouble.
|
|
|
|
81. Take the door of the administration offices off its hinges but leave it
|
|
standing there so that when the principal tries to open the door in the
|
|
morning it will have a slightly crushing effect.
|
|
|
|
82. Place a piece of flypaper (sticky side up) on the teacher's chair. A
|
|
little imagination in writing something on the sticky side can make a very
|
|
interesting teacher.
|
|
|
|
83. A little tinkering with a wrench and you can have the water fountains
|
|
spurting like Old Faithful.
|
|
|
|
THAT'S IT FRIENDS.
