JANFEB- Friere AffTournament: Emory | Round: 1 | Opponent: All | Judge: All Value Criterion Contention One: Silence is a tool of oppression First, giving oppressors the power to limit and repress the oppressed only maintains the oppressive order. Friere. When oppressors, like college administrations, are allowed to place limitations on speech, speech codes are used against the oppressed. ACLU nd. Silence is both a perpetuator and a symptom of the oppressive order. When the oppressor is able to limit what others say, they can take away their humanity.

Contention Two: Dialogue is necessary to critical pedagogy Bans force oppressive opinions underground, which undermines coalitions against them. Baker 08. We need to understand the government or the other groups that oppress us if we want to fight against them. For example, we need to understand the stereotypes that constrain us if we want to combat them. Second, liberation cannot be achieved through purely ideal education. The oppressor can only stand in solidarity with the oppressed when the oppressor sees the oppressed not as an abstract concept but as a person who has been wronged. Friere. Only by discussing the real world can we actually create real policies that solve actual problems. Curry 14. | 4/11/17 |
