“Today’s episode critically examines contemporary shifts in public education within the United States, arguing that policies are increasingly driven by an authoritarian logic of sorting and exclusion rather than principles of equity and collective uplift. Drawing parallels with historical instances of dehumanisation, the author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, contends that standardised testing, defunding of public institutions, and the promotion of private school vouchers serve to reinforce existing inequalities and limit opportunities for marginalised students. Dr. Hoerricks explores the ideological battleground of education, highlighting the suppression of critical thought and collectivist ideas in favor of competition and individual survival. Ultimately, they call for recognising these patterns and resisting the erosion of public education as a tool for social justice.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/sorting-the-future-memory-educationLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
