Text Quotes
Rejecting the notion that democracy and markets are the same, young people are calling for an end to the poverty, grotesque levels of economic inequality, the suppression of dissent and the permanent war state.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) We’re talking about the Communist Party, the Socialist worker’s movement, those movements basically have been underlined. We have other movements, but they’re not as powerful as the movements that we had then.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) The degree to which fear now becomes an organizing principle of society is enormous compared to what it was like in the past.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Young black men are guilty of criminal behavior not because of the alleged crimes they might commit but because they are the product of a collective imagination paralyzed by the racism of a white supremacist culture they can only view them as a dangerous nightmare.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) In order for critical pedagogy, dialogue, and thought to have real effects, they must advocate the message that all citizens, old and young, are equally entitled, if not equally empowered, to shape the society in which they live.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Politicians such as Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich along with talking heads such as Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck and Anne Coulter are not the problem, they are symptomatic of a much more disturbing assault on critical thought, if not rational thinking itself.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) With the rise of new technologies, media, and other cultural apparatuses as powerful forms of public pedagogy, students need to understand and address how these pedagogical cultural apparatuses work to diffuse learning from any vestige of critical thought. This is a form of public pedagogy that needs to be addressed both for how it deforms and for how it can create important new spaces for emancipatory forms of pedagogy.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Under neoliberalism, culture appears to have largely abandoned its role as a site of critique  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Neoliberalism considers the discourse of equality, justice, and democracy quaint, if not dangerous and must be either trivialized, turned into its Orwellian opposite, or eviscerated from public life.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Students, in particular, now find themselves in a world in which heightened expectations have been replaced by dashed hopes.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Poor minorities live in a new age of Jim Crow, one in which the ravages of segregation, racism, poverty and dashed hopes are amplified by the forces of privatization, financialization, militarization and criminalization, fashioning a new architecture of punishment, massive human suffering and authoritarianism.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Young people live in a society in which every institution becomes an inspection regime - recording, watching, gathering information and storing data.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) The present generation has been born into a throwaway society of consumers in which both goods and young people are increasingly objectified and disposable.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) I think that rather than saying that Occupy Wall Street has died, we can say that they’re in the process of understanding what the long march through alternative institutions might mean.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) You had workers’ movements. You had left organizations, the Communist Party, that were mobilizing in profoundly powerful ways to basically address the great injustices of capitalism.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) War provides jobs, profits, political payoffs, research funds, and forms of political and economic power that reach into every aspect of society.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Not only does neoliberalism undermine both civic education and public values and confuse education with training, it also treats knowledge as a product, promoting a neoliberal logic that views schools as malls, students as consumers, and faculty as entrepreneurs.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) What has become clear to many Americans is that the electoral system is bankrupt. As the political process becomes more privatized, outsourced, and overrun with money from corporations and billionaires, a wounded republic is on its death bed, gasping for life.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Life is now a war zone, and as such, the number of people considered disposable has grown exponentially, and this includes low income whites, poor minorities, immigrants, the unemployed, the homeless, and a range of people who are viewed as a liability to capital and its endless predatory quest for power and profits.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) The mainstream media spins stories that are largely racist, violent, and irresponsible - stories that celebrate power and demonize victims, all the while camouflaging its pedagogical influence under the cheap veneer of entertainment.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) American Sniper’ is a film that erases history, spectacularizes violence, and reduces war and its aftermath to cheap entertainment, with an underexplained referent to the mental problems many vets live with when they return home from the war.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Of course, the new domestic paramilitary forces will also undermine free speech and dissent with the threat of force while simultaneously threatening core civil liberties, rights and civic responsibilities.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Angela Davis’s legacy as a freedom fighter made her an enemy of the state under the increasingly neoliberal regimes of Nixon, Reagan and J. Edgar Hoover because she understood that the struggle for freedom was not only a struggle for political and individual rights but also for economic rights.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Increasingly, poor minority and white youth are being funneled directly from schools into prison  (Henry Giroux Quotes) But we need more than a broader understanding of what is a good society or a moral and political critique of the existing market fundamentalism engulfing American society, we also need to create new forms of solidarity, new and broad based social movements that move beyond the isolated and fractured politics of the current historical moment.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) The biggest lie of all is that capitalism is democracy. We have no way of understanding democracy outside of the market, just as we have no understanding of how to understand freedom outside of market values.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) As modern society is formed against the backdrop of a permanent war zone, a carceral state and hyper-militarism, the social stature of the military and soldiers has risen.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Under a neoliberal regime, the language of authority, power and command is divorced from ethics, social responsibility, critical analysis and social costs.  (Henry Giroux Quotes) Today, in the age of standardized testing, thinking and acting, reason and judgment have been thrown out the window just as teachers are increasingly being deskilled and forced to act as semi-robotic technicians good for little more than teaching for the test  (Henry Giroux Quotes) The ideology of hardness and cruelty runs through American culture like an electric current  (Henry Giroux Quotes)
