Sometimes, all you need to do to get rid of an authoritative policy is follow it—to the letter and as infuriatingly often as possible.

One of the teachers, Redditor u/Middle_Pound_822, shared their story on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, drawing support and commendation from readers. Commenters voiced their appreciation for the way the teachers handled the situation via their malicious compliance.
