Free Skool Santa Cruz is a completely grassroots effort, a bunch of individuals deciding to act collectively and autonomously to create a skill-sharing network. More than just an opportunity to learn, we see Free Skool as a direct challenge to dominant institutions and hierarchical relationships.

How about DIY trepanation? It is an ancient practice for many indigenous cultures?

by Steal this SSID
How about a class on identity theft? Maybe something where we not only learn how to protect OUR identities, but some "how-tos" on how to steal the identities of those who oppose us? Things like social engineering, phone hacks, etc.

Also a class on forging the new "high-tech" passports would be nice.

DIY vasectomies? You've got to be kidding...
by Rico
But at least understanding the process, the risks, the benefits, what it involved, what it costs, alternatives for affording them, etc.

No one has enough imagination to propose any classes? Naturally, you can only critique the classes someone else listed.
