This paper discusses the writings of Paulo Freire. In the early 1970's, Brazilian educator, Paulo Freire, visited Harvard and published an English translation of his best-known work, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. His general critique of education presented an analysis, which challenged the neutrality of the technological model dominant in American schools. He argued that any curriculum, which ignores racism, sexism, the exploitation of workers, and other forms of oppression at the same time, supports the status quo. It inhibits the expansion of consciousness and blocks creative and liberating social action for change.
