Learn Before
Mad At School: Foreword (by Tobin Siebers)
Higher education discriminates against mental disability, with a vested interest in removing people with academic disabilities from academia. This stems from the myth that people with divergent thinking are dangerous, resulting in strict standards of acceptable personality. The equation of medical and academic standards leads teachers to pathologize student personalities in the classroom, creating a secret population of neurodivergent minds who use "lore"—leveraging amusement at difference to mitigate distrust. Price applies Disability Studies (DS) to transform this dynamic.
