edvocacy

Using one's position as a teacher or educator to advocate for a certain political or social position, particularly when the methods go beyond the bounds of appropriate critical education. The noose incident at Alma J. Brown Elementary was a case of edvocacy that subjected small children to mock lynching.

At Alma J. Brown Elementary in Louisiana, during the fall of 2007, edvocacy was used in a mock lynching to teach children about current events involving racism.
