Common meaning:

Teaching students to think critically and carefully.

Hidden meaning of the Equity religion: 

Converting students to the Equity faith by raising their critical consciousness.

Discussion:

It is a requirement of Equity for believers to convert as many people as possible to the faith. Since it can be difficult to convert adults, much effort has gone into creating critical pedagogy that helps believers target children in schools for indoctrination and conversion.

Equity believers use critical pedagogy to infect subjects by first going after the anthropology of the subject and then going after the sociology and place of the subject. In the end you aren’t even teaching the subject anymore, but creating a class whose sole purpose is to convert children to the religion of Equity.

Subjects become only a conduit for the religion to propagate itself. This is very similar to how RNA viruses operate by inserting themselves into a healthy cell and converting the mechanism of the cell to reproduce new copies of the virus. The original purpose of the cell is lost and ultimately the virus winds up killing the host.

Critical Pedagogy will destroy any subject that it is allowed to infect.
