The Evil Joker.
Wagner, Michelle; Knudsen, Carla; Harper, Victoria
Educational Leadership, v57 n4 p47-50 Dec 1999-Jan 2000
A pumpkin decorating exercise gave California sixth-graders a chance to discuss a problematic school policy on gangs, using Pablo Freire's problem-posing method. Since the policy failed to understand student views, it officially sanctioned and promoted silence. Student journals revealed how gang activity was woven into their world. (MLH)
