In Which Black Female Cat Engages With Theories of Anti-Oppressive Education
Scene: Sophie sitting on couch, reading.
Fluffy Black Cat: I have needs that are not being met.
As member of white bourgeois intellectual elite, Sophie continues reading.
Cat: Needs, I tell you, needs! Mew! Mew!
Because Cat has been denied a voice by the majority in power, cat finds her words fall on deaf ears.
Cat: This situation calls for more radical action. I will use my physical charm to counter this inaccessible intellectual realm.
Unfortunately, widespread sizeism prevents Cat from being treated as a full-fledged member of society.
Cat: Fine. I will beat the academy at its own game.
Cat picks up pen with teeth, walks away. Result: Sophie can no longer underline, thus diminishing her intellectual authority and causing her to question her implications in the dominant culture.
Cat gnaws pen, looking smug.
Exit Sophie to kitchen to eat cookies.
