This is a really big concept so let’s break it down. What does it mean when it says that education is not neutral? It means that all knowledge and experiences are political, right?

It also means that bringing people together to share their knowledge and experiences, guiding them through a process of consciousness, will inevitably create a space where folks can name the harm, and then, envision a world that is better, safer, freer. It also creates space for folks to talk about how to organize to get to that world. Keep this in mind because we will talk about it in a little bit.

That is to say that this practice combines theory with action. Not only is education NOT neutral, but it is also NOT inactive.

Last thing I’d say is that P.E. as a praxis is a moral and strategic obligation: P.E. is about creating and accompanying an organizing process where the voices of those who are suffering and risking the most are the ones leading the conversation and making strategic decisions because they are the ones that know the system they live under the best.

Australian Student: The what now?
American Host: The active shooter drill. We have to be prepared in case something goes down at school!
Australian Student: That is horrible! Why doesn't your government just try to make sure that shooting don't happen by buying back guns like Australia did a couple years ago?
American Host: Well because the Constitution ensures vague gun rights and it has been very hard to make any progress because people are afraid to change the what the founders intended.  
Australian Student: You can't let the intention of people hundreds of years ago to control your country now.
American Host: While some of the rights

The students give them a confused look and say, no, the book is black. The discussion continues back an forth until the professor turns the book around and shows the student that on his side, the cover is indeed red. This shows us how there is not a singular perspective to an experience. Our experiences are collective and we should allow space to hear the truths of others.]]> 2020-06-18 20:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemariah55/xuc6mup9irqqbj8l/wish/632759155 https://padlet.com/georgemariah55/xuc6mup9irqqbj8l/wish/632765233 Student 1: So what lesson are we focusing on today? ]]> 2020-06-18 20:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/georgemariah55/xuc6mup9irqqbj8l/wish/632765233
