Abstract
This theoretical article addresses a concern about the anti-oppressive stance adopted by Canadian Schools of Social Work and asks the rhetorical questions to nurture the discourse: is our anti-oppressive stance, so widely adopted across the country, meaningful or is it, like the Emperor’s new clothes, illusory? Oppression, racism, and aboriginal relations in Canada are examined against a backdrop of theoretical links to imperialism and colonialism to delineate the intricacies of the problem. The article begins with an illustrative story and concludes by asking pointed questions about the willingness of social work schools, student, educators, and practitioners to turn to the task of translating the theoretical of anti-oppression in the practical.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
