Abolitionist teaching, also known as abolitionist pedagogy, is a set of practices and approaches to teaching that emphasize abolishing educational practices considered by its proponents to be inherently problematic and oppressive.[1] The term was coined by education professor and critical theorist Bettina Love.[2]
Proponents of the approach have criticized test-taking[2] and prohibitions on cheating,[3] as well as deemphasize traditional literacy and math improvement programs.[1] Private organizations working under the banner of abolitionist teaching have stirred controversy bringing progressive politics and activism into classrooms, which includes promoting anti-police, anti-capitalism and anti-Zionist viewpoints.[1]
