The Marxification of Education: Paulo Freire's Critical Marxism and the Theft of Education

by James Lindsay

The generative themes approach is little more than a way that Freirean Marxist “Critical Pedagogues” have been able to steal education right out from under us. Like the bag of sand Indiana Jones uses to attempt to swipe the gold idol at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark it is the enabling tool of the theft of education. It also enables the vast majority of their false justifications for including inappropriate curriculum, like Drag Queen Story Hour, and the pretext for much within the torrent of lies deployed claiming subjects like Critical Race Theory aren’t being taught in schools. Generative themes enable education to look like education on the surface while being replaced by a program of Marxist conscientization just underneath, thus subjecting our kids to thought reform while the “clever” pedagogues behind the heist laugh at parents who don’t know how they’re being cheated and abused. While we argue with them about the flashes of glinting light on the surface of the rippling lake, they’re programming our kids in the murky depths. Understanding generative themes allows us to get beneath the lies on the surface and expose the theft of education from our children and societies.
