Feminist women : "Wait, isn't that plagiarism? We wrote that! You forgot the word male!"
For Freire, being "formally educated" is like having gained access to bourgeois society, so learning what society considers knowledge (or literacy, including social literacy in the existing system) is to obtain a form of bourgeois property, which, per Marx, must be abolished.
But schools haven't thrown away the regular curriculum, they've just dressed it up in feminist dehumanization propaganda, which matches the views of those who make up the majority of teachers.
Freire retooled education to get away from learning skills that are useful in the existing society (like being able to read, as literacy) and redefined being literate, or educated, as having obtained a critical consciousness of one's conditions and context. Knowing made Marxist.
What does this actually mean in practice? All of this just sounds like citing obscure academia to try and excuse the fact that schools had no issue before a certain group decided "We should be teachers and crush the patriarchy while they're all little and easy to target!"
That "certain group" consists of virtually every teacher who has been credentialed by a college's school of education since at least 1980.
What do you think K-12 teachers read in teacher's college? They read Paolo Friere, The Pedagogy of the Oppressed, whose bibliography contains Marcuse and the rest of the neo-Marxists Lindsay refers to.
Edit: I remind you also that school administrators begin their careers as teachers. Those who don't are as well-versed in the pedagogy we are condemning here as teachers, if not moreso.
men made up the majority of high school teachers until the late 1970s.
Like I said. When a certain group realized "crushing the patriarchy" was a lot easier when you're targeting teenagers and kids with dehumanizing propaganda, it all went to hell.
