  • Ped­a­gogy of the Oppres­sor, by Sol Stern — fta: Ped­a­gogy of the Oppressed was one of the most fre­quently assigned texts in their phi­los­o­phy of edu­ca­tion courses.… Ped­a­gogy of the Oppressed men­tions none of the issues that trou­bled edu­ca­tion reform­ers through­out the twen­ti­eth cen­tury: test­ing, stan­dards, cur­ricu­lum, the role of par­ents, how to orga­nize schools, what sub­jects should be taught in var­i­ous grades, how best to train teach­ers, the most effec­tive way of teach­ing dis­ad­van­taged stu­dents. This ed-school best­seller is, instead, a utopian polit­i­cal tract call­ing for the over­throw of cap­i­tal­ist hege­mony and the cre­ation of class­less societies.”

  • Holy CRAP! That City Jour­nal arti­cle makes my blood boil. I don’t know whether to laugh hys­ter­i­cally or cry pro­fusely after read­ing this tes­ti­mo­nial from a 4th grader sub­jected to the theory:

    I thought math was just a sub­ject they implanted on us just because they felt like it, but now I real­ize that you could use math to defend your rights and real­ize the injus­tices around you.”

    WTF?!
