It looks like we all agree that there are some issues arising that bother us all. It does not matter what "shade of grey you are". I have the responsibility of raising a four year old citizen(my daughter), and will make sure she is able to form her own opinions and judgements as she is growing. I will be the first one in the principles office if I hear of a teacher or mentor using "opinions" to influence the thought process. It should be my responsibility to instill the values that will allow her to form her "own" opinions. Just as my parents did. I am the son of a Marine. I did not follow in my fathers military footsteps, but his core values were passed on to me. "Values" I believe is the key word here.
It is getting so ridiculous out there. Teachers cannot use red magic markers on graded papers anymore as they will psychologically injure the child. Are you kidding me!!!I thought criticism helped the learning process, and helped the individual grow. Are we raising a generation of "compliant zombies".
Also, when did it become wrong to state your own opinion. I see alot of groups preaching tolerance, tolerance tolerance, but they are anything but. If you disagree with them, they are about as intolerant as can be. Let us see what happens if the "fairness doctrine" be put back into place. Will it be "criminal" to talk about that old piece of paper known as the constitution???Is it wrong to say "illegal" should mean illegal? Is it wrong to say "marriage should be a man and a woman"? Agree or disagree, we should be able to state opinions without fear of being ruined or being labeled as "radical".
I would like to buy you lunch Ken!!!!!!
Sparky...might just take you up on that!!! I see you are in Olathe, KS. I went to school and graduated from KU...the mother of a room mate and fraternity brother of mine (Chuck Hammond) owned the newspaper in Olathe back in the day. Olathe was a small (very small) town back then with a little Naval Air Station...must be huge in comparison now...International HQ of Garmin and all! Will be on my way to Ft Riley, KS in October for another week with the troops......
