The discussion of the processes of knowledge production in connection with the Truth and the Truthfulness produced-especially after the 1970s, a fertile frame of thought for the strategic moment, the so-called ‘classroom’. Questions related to several aspects of the production of Truth have kept this discussion active to the present day. This research attempts to link the discussion on the production of knowledge in the Educational sciences with contemporary skepticism about Truth in the public sphere and detect the procedures for the introduction of Post-Truth to the classroom, from the perspective of Sociology of Education. The link between the discussion of knowledge production, the pursuit of Truth, and the skepticism associated with the introduction and management of Post-Truth highlights the import of Power in the production of knowledge. This renews the core arguments of the 1970s discourse. This discussion reveals important aspects of the classroom, which are significant to social cohesion and democratic citizenship.
