United Knights of Dalewood
Where the Rule of Law Governs
What it is
The United Knights of Dalewood is an ongoing experiment in constitutional governance of students, by students, and for students. It is a sovereign classroom housed within Wheaton High School, located at 12401 Dalewood Drive, Silver Spring, Maryland.
Why it is
Fed up with the authoritarian regime of King Nesin, the students seized power and wrote their own constitution that limits teacher authority and grants student rights.
