What Happened to Education and Why Society Went Mad - Part 1

This analysis delves into the transformation of education through the lens of Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, a Marxist-inspired framework that redefined teaching as a tool for social liberation rather than academic development. By framing students as the oppressed and teachers as oppressors, Freire's ideas shifted education toward activism and ideology, often at the expense of foundational skills like literacy and critical thinking. The video explores how this approach led to declining academic performance in Brazil and warns of its broader implications as these ideas spread globally. Part 1 sets the stage for understanding how education became politicized and its impact on society.
