It is absolutely shameful that the school doesn't take these opportunities to teach the students about values ( remember the Winthrop House Master defenestration last spring). However it is characteristic of the current administration which is more concerned with various PC agenda than actually educating the kids about what matters. minnesota farm guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013935998029781790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-38376625114982782992019-10-23T15:21:37.618-05:002019-10-23T15:21:37.618-05:00No problem, it's not as if those Harvard speec...No problem, it's not as if those Harvard speech-Nazis will be in positions of power and influence in a few years.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13617687006180956861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-76273327223191286712019-10-23T14:39:50.312-05:002019-10-23T14:39:50.312-05:00Holistic = Opacity and bullshit justifying unfair...Holistic = Opacity and bullshit justifying unfairnessChar Char Binks, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10649888089413308406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-41404587398573489812019-10-23T14:36:32.747-05:002019-10-23T14:36:32.747-05:00"Holistic" always means "justifying..."Holistic" always means "justifying unfairness".Char Char Binks, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10649888089413308406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-84209487525184237412019-10-23T14:27:26.376-05:002019-10-23T14:27:26.376-05:00"I have learned [through] experience that get...<i>"I have learned [through] experience that getting both sides isn't always what is fair, especially when one side has already made its views well known ..."</i><br /><br />The unspoken part: And I should get to decide what is and is not fair.
