I feel that Freire’s subversive views on the issue of oppression has in a way been used by leftists eho want to pudh their own political agendas. It’s a complex issue.. The current government, being the Workers Party (PT partido dos trabalhadores) brags about being for the people, and the by that they mean tbe oppressed, but no significant political action is ever set forth to really implement any type of long-lasting change, especially in education. They fool the foolish who believe that they’re doing it for the people.. they’re doing it to stay in power, to keep the status quo. The teachers union in Brazil is PT. It’s all one and tbe same.. It’s pretty messed up down here. I’ll stop now.. Getting too pessimistic..
