Teaching is a Human Act

I was reading a chapter by Freire for a class, Teaching is a Human Act, and thought i would share some parts i really liked:

"Here I want to repeat-forcefully- that nothing can justify the degredation of human beings. Nothing. The advance of science or technology cannot legitimate 'class' and call it 'order' so that a minority who holds power may use and squander the fruits of the earth while the vast majority are hard pressed even to survive and often justify their own misery as the will of God."

"The fatalistic philospohy of neoliberal politics of which i have been speaking is a case in point of how human interests are abandoned whenever they threaten the values of the market.
I cannot imagine, for example, a modern manager allowing one of his workers the right to discuss, during a literacy class or during an in-service course in the factory, the pros and cons of the dominant ideology. For example, to discuss the question 'unemployment today is an end-of-the-century inevitabilitty.' And, in that context, to ask: Why is agrarian reform not also an inevitability? And why not make putting an end to hunger and misery inevitable as well?"
