We forget that educational reality isn't sth that's readily observable. For the observation to happen, one must already have a concept of education to observe at all. So, does educational research actually find facts or does it construct them? After Gohlich and Zirfas.

Massive racist demonstrations in London today led to brawls and violence. ~100 arrested. Meanwhile, at peaceful Palestine Action protests with zero provocations, police arrested up to 900 demonstrators.
They are attacking the Police again, at the 'peaceful march'.
Imagine if Pro Palestine supporters did this (they never do), they would all be instantly in jail.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.
We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

1/2 Really powerful critique here of the foundational assumptions of pedagogical theory. Pedagogy ultimately collapses under the weight of its ambitions. Subjectivity is demonstrated to be constituted through paradox and discontinuity.
