Praxis in Liberation Theology and Critical Pedagogy

Many educators relate the word praxis to a series of teacher licensure exams. The term, however, has a distinct meaning in the philosophy of education. Explain how the term is used in liberation theology and in critical pedagogy.

The following is a transcript from a video that discusses Chapter 17 of the book above and addresses the topic of the discussion:
So post modernity is a contemporary application or the existentialist theory that basically says there's no metanarratives. Everything is artificially created through the use of symbols and language that people make up kids considering their own contexts. There's always two truths. There's never one truth. And therefore, you can basically do what you want to do without responsibility or guilt. I would say. So. In education, I think you see that. I'm, you know, if you're talking about critical thinking, you do want to examine evidence of both sides. I always, I have never, ever probably that. It's not about, again, it's not about being right. It's actually finding the right. But now, you know, they're always trying to, you know, they had the diversity card that they want to integrate. And I do think we can learn from each other. So I think it's important however, they have a kind of, I think a fallacy of equivalence where they think like the Aztecs, that culture is the same as like the colonial culture. And they're both eval and they're both the same thing. And I'm not actually evidentially true. There are some cultures that are better than other countries and actually they even, even post-modernist, acknowledge that in the way they critique others. And one of those critique as they do, at least religiously at economically is called liberation theology. So liberation theology, it's probably, it's a little, it's more political than theological. In fact, in my opinion, it's, you know, I think theology supposed to be transcendent and liberation theology kind of change it. Change it to an economic policy, your state for people. I mean, evidentially, I think it's a rejection of the Christian worldview and kind of a rejection of the Christian conscience. So now people I'd be like, can you be a Christian existentialist, Kenny, really? And above it was Jesus, Christian existentialist. And I think Jesus would call God. You say add an i, which is I am your servant. Now it's about what God can do for us now, what can we do for God? And I think, you know, Jesus, I am your servant got so right now I'd say in post-modernity, in education, it's like what can this gives me? What can I do? You know, what can I get from this? Well, what do you given me? And so it has this focus on the self. Actually, in sociology you would call it rational choice theory. They go, I will go to that for the benefits that it gives me and I will avoid it if I don't see those benefits and that sort of the mentality. And versus Christ was like, I'm willing to forsake everything. It's the treasure in the field that you sell everything up by. So you can buy that, that field and get to the treasure. He gives up everything for the one thing. Now people are not willing to do that, but it's a, it's a cultural thing. Since the 19 sixties. We all are socialized by the people come before us. So the millennials and the junzi is agenda as would have been gone. They actually were taught by the emergency. There's baby boomers. We taught them these ways and means and so to have some compassion and sympathy for them. Or even empathy, I think is the most important thing. So sympathies when you feel bad for somebody. Empathy is when you feel bandwidth somebody, but that empathy is going to connect you with the kids and thats what the kids need. They need that connection, but it's not just affirmation, that's just not the affective stuff. There's a spiritual component, there's mental component, there's like an ethical component that we're there to teach them. We gotta stop abdicating our role and, and not be afraid to actually make a stand because that's what the kids need. They don't need this affirmation. I mean, there's some stuff going on in California where they're having like five-year-olds choose their gender. That is not the five-year-olds decision. That is the adults decision or they're going to stop advocating unto and don't be afraid. And just know about trigger warnings. Learning is a trigger warning in if you're not being triggered, you're not learning, right? And they go what did? Because they'll say, I don't like the way it makes me feel emotionally at it. You know, you don't want to be abusive, but you definitely wanna be challenging in education supposed to challenge people. And I don't think the current education system necessarily does that as much anymore. And I don't think it's it's beneficial.
