Wow, this was one of the most difficult articles that I have read in quite a while. Not just with the manner in which it was written but the intensity of the subject matter was pretty heavy. I will be honest the first time that I read through it, I was exhausted and to really delve into the information I had to go back and reread and do a bit of research on some of the quotes.
This is a pretty heavy subject, especially when you start taking the content and applying it to the environment we are in and in dealing with a diverse group of students that come from varying social and economic backgrounds.
The premiss of this article deals with oppression and how it is the responsibility of the oppressed to rise up and remove themselves from the situation. The oppressor cannot fix the oppressed. In this manner we look at bullying and it is the responsibility of the bullied to stand up and make a difference in what is going on their lives and they cannot rely on those who do the bullying to change the situation.
I will need to reread this a few times to get the full gist of it, but from what I am understanding at this point, I think that this theory has some valid points and can be used as the basis for change.
