Woke up at 3:10 AM.  Damn.

Cleared the inbox, planned a bit of the day, paid the bills.  Then the internet got me and I started digging around on the old website.  Found an on-line journal from my teaching at WPHS (ca. 1998).  Here are the four quotes I featured on the opening page:

“The interest of the oppressors lie in changing the consciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them.”
Paulo Freire

“Knowledge emerges only through invention and reinvention, through the restless, impatient, continuing,  hopeful inquiry human beings pursue in the world, with the world and with each other.”
Paulo Freire

“The displacement of the idea that facts and evidence matter by the idea that everything boils down to subjective interests and perspectives is — second only to American political campaigns — the most prominent and pernicious manifestation of anti-intellectualism in our time.”
Larry Laudan, Science and Relativism (1990)

“We must learn to enter the classroom “whole” and not as “disembodied spirit.”
bell hooks, 1994
