The Oppressors Do Not Favor

Educators Need To Know What Happens In The World Of The Children With Whom They Work. They Need To Know The Universe Of Their Dreams, The Language With Which They Skillfully Defend Themselves From The Aggressiveness Of Their World, What They Know Independently Of The School, And How They Know It.

It Is Only The Oppressed Who, By Freeing Themselves, Can Free Their Oppressors.

The Oppressed Find In The Oppressors Their Model Of 'manhood.'

Knowledge Emerges Only Through Invention And Re-invention, Through The Restless, Impatient, Continuing, Hopeful Inquiry Human Beings Pursue In The World, With The World, And With Each Other.

Freedom Is Acquired By Conquest, Not By Gift. It Must Be Pursued Constantly And Responsibly. Freedom Is Not An Ideal Located Outside Of Man; Nor Is It An Idea Which Becomes Myth. It Is Rather The Indispensable Condition For The Quest For Human Completion.
