Spot on, sir. Great explanation. Multiple perspectives are key to understanding the world.

Absolutely right! What I wonder is how many teachers actually did something wrong in this area? Until the latest accusations about “Clinical Space Cheery,” it never occurred to me that a teacher would do this. I have never seen it. Just wondering.

I grew up

In rural Rhode Island. A conservative town in a liberal state(hell Pell Grants came fro our Senetor). When I reach college my eyes were opened to a world I did not know existed. And this made me hungry to learn more. I don’t blame all my high school teachers because I was a dumbass acne riddled, horny little awkward kid who truly didn’t know shit.

But college gave me the ,at least white bred, culture of the world.

The C world is bigger than your hometown and certainly bigger than your family.

Agreed! These discussion always make me think about Karl Popper’s “paradox of tolerance”. Put simply, we should make it safe in schools for all views except those which seek to limit other views.
