Disposable Youth - Henry Giroux

Henry Giroux's Spur lecture given in Toronto Ontario, and based on his book Disposable Youth he speaks emphatically of the crisis within North American society that has an ever increasing philosophy of a punitive police state, more concerned with controlling youth, as opposed to understanding.

This is the second time I have listened to Henry Giroux speak on the CBC Ideas program. It is even more compelling to me now, considering the present state of the world. I have grievous thoughts about the kind of future legacy being left for our children and the future that is ahead for them.

Disposable Youth - Henry A. Giroux - Hardened Cultures and The War On Youth

As a former Youth Care Worker for over 20 years, I often have used the description 'disposable youth' when referring to society's attitude toward youth. My ears picked up immediately when I heard the Ideas program tonight on CBC Radio that had scholar, Henry A. Giroux talking about " Disposable Youth ".
And here all these years I thought I'd come up with that term! Lol

Anyway this guy sure got my attention.  It is rather disturbing what he has to say, visionary really, and he brings it all into focus when it comes to the war on youth and our hardened culture.
