Mr. J. Lemke: I am a middle grades teacher in Vermont. I have read some of
Giroux's work, and I need to know more about the application of
post-modernist cultural theory and its relationship (or lack of) to public
education. I find post-modernist theory intriguing, but confusing. How do
the various tenets of both SUPPORT and DISTORT the endeavor to teach and
practice democratic ideals as they relate to education? Please respond if
you are so disposed. There seems to be no one up here I can engage in
discourse . . . their eyes just glaze over. Linny
