A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Henry Giroux, Critical Thinker

Recently, I have become aware of the author and social critic, Henry Giroux. In a conversation published on line, Giroux speaks of what he calls critical pedagogy. His is an interesting and thoughtful approach. I especially like the democratic essence of his theory. With all the turmoil in the field of education, it is good to see something as insightful as this.
