TEACH ME! Kids Will Learn WHEN OPPRESSION is the Lesson - Murray Levin

 



Teach Me!: Kids Will Learn When Oppression is the Lesson Hardcover – 1 January 1998

by Murray Levin (Author)

"Written with warmth, humor, and extraordinary insight, Teach Me! is a book that will change the way teachers think."
--Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of No Ordinary Time and Wait Till Next Year

"Murray Levin starts with a brilliant idea-to probe the political and social thought of African-American and Latino teenagers who are not supposed to have such thoughts-and fulfills it. The result is totally compelling, an education for the reader. Teach Me! is an original."
--Howard Zinn, Author of A People's History of the United States

Teach Me! is an account of a seasoned educator's experience in an urban high school. A book that confronts "social decay, . . . the malignancy of our time," Teach Me! also describes a remarkable collaboration between a teacher and his students, who came to recognize together that the world needs to change.

Big Girls Don't Cry

I didn’t cry then.       Daniel and I went to school that day.   I didn’t tell anyone. Two days later at the funeral, I was still being “a man” (i.e. not crying).   Until I was in my second men’s group around age 31, I didn’t allow myself to cry .    I rationalized this by saying to myself:   “ How does x compare with the death of my father ?”. I am self-identified as a   Jewish man .    Growing up that meant being intellectual and not emotional .    Our Sabbath dinner was the only time in the week, when we couldn’t read at the table.    While I was “schooled” on feelings through my men’s work (, most significantly through helping co-found M...

Judaism - Israel - Palestine - All Eleven Parts Together (Warning - Very Long) (Graphics didn't Copy Over)

  As I begin this writing, MSNBC’s (muted) screen says: Trump, What’s Happening to Me is a Form of Navalny  (or similar) That, perhaps is a metaphor for this writing!   A Most Privileged white man, who sees himself as “THE Victim”.   This man lives in fear – manipulated and bullied by his father.   His Sadism and Narcissism – and its Impact upon so many others reflects – both his Incredible Privilege, as well as Anger and Hatred – arising out of his fears, most of which I know little or nothing about.  (5:35 a.m. – Wednesday, February 21, 2024) --- Judaism, My Judaism – its impact upon me is, I hope, an interesting story.   This is a personal story.   You, the reader, can jump ahead and learn more about me at any time if you go to Part I – of this writing – where I began writing – at:  Judaism-Israel-Palestine: Part I – at:  https://www.georgemarx.org/2024/01/judaism-is...
