Many of us want to fight oppression in our communities and in the world, but perhaps instead we can start by fighting the oppressive practices and systems in our own classrooms. We need to rethink the strategies that we have been told are “proven” and that we have been urged to employ. Anti-oppression demands courage because it expects us to question the way we are expected to act, teach, lead in the face of leaders telling us that “this” is right or even required.
