    “President Jair Bolsonaro defended dismissing educator Paulo Freire as the patron of education in Brazil.”
    Folha de S.Paulo Apr.30.2019
    “Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral. ...
    “Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people--they manipulate them. They do not liberate, nor are they liberated: they oppress.”
    “[T]he more radical the person is, the more fully he or she enters into reality so that, knowing it better, he or she can transform it. This individual is not afraid to confront, to listen, to see the world unveiled. This person is not afraid to meet the people or to enter into a dialogue with them. This person does not consider himself or herself the proprietor of history or of all people, or the liberator of the oppressed; but he or she does commit himself or herself, within history, to fight at their side.”
    Paulo Freire
