Interesting article, however I question how widespread this book actually is, and the bias of the author of the article. Has anyone here ever come across this book? Are there any teachers here?<p>In all the years of my schooling, I never thought my teachers may have been influenced by such a book. Not many of my teachers were ever interested in talking about the social injustices or encouraging us to fight for any right, but quite the contrary actually. Once in a while I would come across an inspiring teacher who recognized the limitless potential of a young mind and attempt to pursue that ideal, but in the end, the overwhelming feel was always simply to spit out another well-rounded, good and contributing citizen of the society we live in. How dehumanizing is that?
Tell us how you really feel: "...His declaration in Pedagogy of the Oppressed that there was 'no such thing as a neutral education' became a mantra for leftist professors, who could use it to justify proselytizing for America-hating causes in the college classroom..."<p>I know hackernews doesn't obsess about being "fair and unbiased" as much some sites, but I'm unwilling to consider an argument couched in such ridiculous terms.
