Peter: The war in Ukraine has been acceleratingly bad, devastating to Ukraine, to Russia and to the entire world. Others from the left have supported Putin’s invasion. They are basically calling to stop the support to Ukraine. During this time, we have seen contradictions in the reactions of US politicians, some representatives and senators from the extreme right wing. Luis: On February 24, 2023, the war in Ukraine reached a year of its development. Fascism and the Decay in American Politics.Luis Huerta-Charles is an associate professor of critical pedagogies and multicultural education in the School of Teacher Preparation, Administration and Leadership in the College of Health, Education and Social Transformation at New Mexico State University, in Las Cruces, on the edge of the Chihuahuan Desert. This interview addresses McLaren’s views on the war in Ukraine, education, Marxism, Christianity and the decay of US politics. Throughout the year 2022, Peter undertook a commitment to analyse the war Russia generated by invading Ukraine and to consider its implications for the world. McLaren continues battling to build, as Freire used to say, a less ugly world and transform it into a more just one.
As Paolo Freire showed the world, and McLaren continues to do, education is not neutral, and we must direct our practices towards the search for social justice, equity, and we should fight against all forms of discrimination and oppression, including the recent emergence of fascism.
His critical analyses have supported educators around the world to understand that their practices are permeated by political and social visions of which they often remain unaware. Peter McLaren is one of the educators who has worked on the development and consolidation of critical pedagogy for more than 40 years.
