ABSTRACT
To use the title of Chris Gain’s useful text on racism, they represent the ‘No Problem Here’ constituency: We’ve cracked bullying in our school, there is no racial discrimination, boys and girls are equal. People conceal issues about justice by telling themselves that problems do not exist - and if they do, they are the responsibility, not of ourselves, but of others, the parents, or even the children. In this chapter, the author explains how men talk about and behave towards women, and, and how human beings are defined managerially today as statistics. Ideas that almost always provoke disagreement are inherently more educational than others. This is partly because these ideas are, by their nature, at the heart of our living, and partly because, as Socrates and Jesus Christ evidently knew, education proceeds by reflection, argument (or collaborative enquiry) and action.
