You’re fixated on that. I already said I was against that. I’ve told you several times I was against that but you keep circling back to it, even when it isn’t relevant to what we’re talking about. Besides, when it comes to anal, we both know that’s your area of expertise.
This is nonsensical.
The moral beliefs of others, when they impact events and choices, are facts.
This is nothing new. When kids learn to write position papers they are taught to present both sides of the argument and then defend their position. The problem these days, and it’s the schools and the parents who are to blame, they don’t want kids exposed to a view that goes against whatever orthodoxy they’ve adopted.
I am not suggesting that it anything new. Though probably novel in most high schools. But it would be an interesting approach to learning American History, and likely discover a more objective history apart from the political leanings.
It sounds similar to the current events class I took in the mid 90’s, although we didn’t get into how our interpretation of those events aligned with any given political party of the time.
What you’re talking about is good however, like everything else, there is the caveat under the right conditions. In order for it to work, you need mature students who can accept it as an intellectual exercise. Just because they are defending a side doesn’t mean they agree with it. Many adults couldn’t find the emotional maturity and intelligence to do this.
Kids today are emotionally weak. They are bigger crybabies than ever before. Remember, schools are now safe spaces where kids need to be shielded from anything which may cause them trauma. This extends into colleges with trigger warnings and concepts like decolonizing subjects, including math.
We can all go on YouTube and see videos from colleges where speakers are shouted down and not given the opportunity to present their views. Again, we are at a place where opposing views are not tolerated to the point they cannot be allowed to exist. And this is college.
If HS students today were given the opportunity to debate issues, it would end in tears and possibly violence. They can’t handle it. Look at adults and Trump vs Kamala, they act like kids. Given the choice between Fox news or CNBC, I’d choose Sesame Street.
Yes. It was just an Education Utopia wish.
I suspect you are smarter than your comment, but perhaps I’m wrong.
He is not talking about a ‘charmed life’, he is talking about subsistence level living.
I think you meant MSNBC, the rabid dogs station; CNBC’s primary focus is financial markets news.
And you oversimplify -the choice is (only) one of Fox news, or any one of: MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC. Same with (fake)newspapers.
And Sesame Street is great if your want your kids to grow up dumb.
Don’t tell me, Oscar is now trans.
How does one decolonize math? It’s a system of rules and descriptors of the physical, it inherently has no bias.
My 2nd grade teacher told me to watch it, how great it was. I turned it on, and I was like WTF. Granted she probably knew I was a recent immigrant, but still, even if you didn’t understand the words, WTF.
If you want to teach your kids to be smart, have them watch the same news event on Fox, then on MSNBC. Imo, that’s how to teach “choice”.
This is because we’ve twisted context to force a point, which is your go to strategy. I’d prefer to maintain context.
Case in point. Surely you can deduce the difference in unnecessarily introducing the concept of anal rape to minors while teaching literature and having consensual sex with a woman’s ass?
Yet evangelizing those beliefs and unnecessarily exposing them to students is again out of context.
Just the facts.
All of your basic needs met, no question? Sounds pretty charmed to me. Nobody owes you that.
So were late 90’s and early 00’s comedy writers, who made an entire Sesame Street spoof with content that some might say is problematic in 2024. I own Wonder Showzen S1 on DVD.
I have all of the seasons downloaded from limewire. It’s 2 seasons plus a lot of deleted scenes.
Is limewire still around?
I’ll Ask Jeeves and get back to you.
I have no idea, honestly.
Exposing kids to the beliefs of abolitionists and slave owners is unnecessary and out of context when teaching the Civil War?
Discussing the beliefs of the Founders is unnecessary and out of context when teaching the American Revolution? Let’s not even mention the Declaration of Independence.
