Papa Cop’s Pedagogy of the Oppressor (Apartheid state professors or SS students?)
Raymond Nat Turner, BAR poet-in-residence

🖨️ Print Article
State police arrest student at Emory University

“The policeman isn't there to create disorder;
the policeman is there to preserve disorder.”

—Richard J. Daley


Scholasticide? Pedicide? Infanticide? Ecocide?
Genocide? Clear which side they’re on, Students
Study war no more— And refuse to cave under
Weight of state—under Papa Cop Condor watch …

Bought and bossed, Papa Cop commits to police state.
Surveillance state. Apartheid state. Real Estate. Papa
Cop commits to elephant-eared walls/eagle-eyed poles.
Commit$ OT to embedded/invading/occupying professors.

Papa Cop’s Pedagogy of the Oppressor’s built on bulky
bodies of apartheid state-trained teachers. Visiting professors
of Pain Compliance—
Resurrecting Guantanamo ghosts; exorcising ‘outside agitators!’

Papa Cop’s Pedagogy of the Oppressor’s taught by Vitamin S-
fueled scholars. Zip-tie truncheon-taser-teargas-wielding
Adjunct professors— pounding, slamming, jamming, jabbing,
choking, contagious anti-capitalist virus out of students’ systems!

Papa Cop’s Pedagogy’s cool with Skunk Shock Troop tutors—
J6-IOF ilk—Deputized thugs invading campuses. Cool with
brownshirt ‘counter-protestors.’  Cool with Capitalist Hill-
Birth Of A Nation-MAGAt hat-horned shaman-style TAs …

Papa Cop’s Pedagogy of the Oppressor = U.S. Imperialism 101.
Not graduate studies, ’70s Santiago. Not ’04 Kabul, Baghdad,
West Bank, Gaza, Port au Prince postdoctoral studies. Not
Gunpoint gendering for peacock blue pill/weaponized warheads.

Papa Cop’s Pedagogy of the Oppressor = U.S. Imperialism 101.
Not herding the handcuffed off to secluded quads and unpacking
Magazines—filing reports in inquiring minds; in hungry brains—
Before hacking fingers off perforated avatars for souvenirs …
Papa Cop’s Pedagogy of the Oppressor = U.S. Imperialism 101.
Not yet beheading and urinating on ashtray torsos; on electrified
genitalia
Before disrespectfully dumping war crimes into freshly dug ditches …

Papa Cop’s Pedagogy Of The Oppressor will not pass—it
Fails— for forgetting … or refusing to remember …   its
Tested, failsafe formula for radicalization … One baton
Blow= 10 teach-ins=1,000 books=   1 million lectures …
