Summary

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 102 Education has been stolen from our society and from our kids. This should be intolerable. Doing something about it, as we're learning, requires understanding how this robbery has occurred and how it keeps running. Fortunately, that's comprehensible and can be summarized in a single short sentence: our kids go to Paulo Freire's schools. You may not know who Paulo Freire was, but his theory of education (critical pedagogy, as it came to be called) explains a great deal of what has gone wrong in our schools. To make this subject comprehensible and pull back the veil on Marxist praxis in education over the last fifty years, James Lindsay, host of the New Discourses Podcast, has written a new book called The Marxification of Education: Paulo Freire's Critical Marxism and the Theft of Education (https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY/ ), which is available now. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James introduces the book and goes through some selected portions of the text to give you a sense of just how significant this problem is. Join him and grab a copy of the book to learn about how things went so wrong in education!

0:00.0	Hello, everybody. It's James Lindsay and you're listening to the new Discourses podcast.
0:24.1	This is going to be a pretty short episode. I just want to introduce and tell you guys something
0:28.3	that I've done. Introduce my newest book to you. Give you guys a sense of what it is. The book
0:35.5	is called The Marks Cification of Education. It should be, it's about Paolo Freri as you guys
0:43.4	that listen to the podcast know us. We have a lot of time talking about Paolo and reading Paolo
0:48.0	and exposing Paolo and interpreting Paolo. And so I've written a book and I'm bringing it out
0:55.6	on December 6th. I'm going to tell you guys a story of the book. I'm going to actually read to you
0:59.6	and kind of flesh out around the 10th chapter of the book, which is after the conclusion.
1:05.7	It is called the short, short, short version. And if you get the joke, that's good. If you don't get
1:12.1	the joke, life goes on. So the full title of the book is The Marks Cification of Education,
1:20.8	Paolo Freri's critical Marxism and the theft of education, publishing it through new discourses.
1:26.5	You can find it therefore because we're using, I know that everybody gets upset, but we're using
1:32.4	Amazon's direct publishing. So you can find it on Amazon in a few months. It will go into expanding
1:37.8	expanded distribution. You'll find it other places. I've already recorded the entirety of this book
1:43.6	as an audiobook. So as fast as my audio engineers can get that put together, it will be out in
1:48.9	audiobook format as well. I know that progress has been made in that direction and it should be
1:55.2	put together to before too long. This book is shorter than race Marxism, which I released in
2:03.1	February. It is much longer than I originally intended. I think I could have made it as long
2:09.0	as race Marxism. I made it as kind of cookies on the bottom shelf. So there's a little inside
2:13.9	baseball of this book. Don't let that discourage you from reading it. I think it's extremely important.
2:19.0	But if you aren't generally aware of what's going on in education with critical pedagogy
2:25.5	in particular in social emotional learning, there's a little bit of a learning curve for you with
