In order for our social amnesia to remain resolutely unacknowledged, we hide behind an almost puritanical fear of any pedagogy that insists on unbolting the door to doubt, squaring our shoulders against unquestioned orthodoxy, and recognizing our entanglement in the larger conflictual arena of political and social relations and how such an entanglement is itself deeply ensconced in merging religiosity into political ends. Our merciless silence is deafening, and threatens the longevity of our social history. from Teachers as Cultural Workers by Paulo Freire
