Freedom of Expression vs. Freedom of Speech in Canada: Paulo Freire's "Pedagogy of the Oppressed"
Manage episode 506438128 series 3665615
Teachings by one of the most influential pedagogical writers of the 20th century: Paulo Freire, whose Pedagogy of the Oppressed is a foundational text in critical education.
Freedom of expression, Section 1 of the Charter, Charlie Kirk, political violence, & the role & RESPONSIBILITY of PUBLIC EDUCATION related to perpetuating oppression. Jackson emphasizes the historical context of these issues & calls for collective effort to foster critical thinking & responsibility
Public frustration & not feeling heard, leads to a turning away from democracy toward totalitarians like Trump in times of angst that such men create.
We must condemn all political violence, & work hard as Canadians to ensure we do better by actively engaging and learning about our democracy to make it healthier
Takeaways
-Freire's banking education treats students as passive; recipients of knowledge enforced by standardized curricula. Diminishes autonomous, critical thinking, human caring & responsibility
-doesn't consider experiences or "social determinants" (i.e., wealth, race, ethnicity, religion)
NEXT STEPS FOR PUBLIC ED.
-Public ed. in Canada should focus on social determinants & experiences of students & educators-- not abstractly downloaded & imposed.
-21st century democratic education should empower students, educators, and ALL communities, rather than indoctrinate them into a colonial system of passive consumption & consumerism.
-Discussing "freedom of expression" vs. "freedom of speech"-- JJ Rousseau & the social contract-- we must sacrifice individual rights for the collective rights.
