Then Jix locked eyes with him and said very calmly, If you hit her, I will open my mouth wide enough to swallow you whole, force you through my bowels, then out my other end. Avalon scowled at him. You can't do that. Try me, Jix said. Avalon backed off, then angrily stormed away, and Jix winked at Jill. One in five.

Suddenly it was obvious to Connor why they don't teach it. Once education was restructured and corporatized, they didn't want kids knowing how close they came to toppling the government. They didn't want kids to know how much power they really had.
