“Personal freedom, I believe, is where we might be radical, which shouldn't be radical at all. That we believe that people should be able to be free and also children should be able to be free. I don't decide over my children's hair or clothes. I don't decide what they learn, when they learn, if they learn.” - Jesper Conrad
