In history, an iconoclast was someone who was willing and courageous enough to point out dangerous myths. Literally, an iconoclast is an image-breaker. Tearing down myths was not an end, but a means to correct wrongdoing. Often this meant going against the grain. It meant spilling the tea. It meant having a willingness to stand out and up in front of an angry crowd. In many ways, teachers have always been perfectly placed to do this. A teacher’s aim is not to deconstruct alone, but to instruct, as well.  It is time to get schooled. It is time to confront our popular myths with candid truth-telling.

Welcome, my name is Mr. Review and it is time for ICONO-CLASSED.
