So, are you saying that you cannot, calmly and legitimately, get "progressive, left, liberal" students to question their beliefs and confront awful truths as well? Should not "education" be able to do both and not be "slanted" left or right (even though it is more slanted "left" these days as a whole body of instructors and "classroom doctrines" - admitted so by polling and such). I do agree that our culture has become way too "sensitized" to any comment, thought, or imagery, and only says to me that we are becoming more "regressive" than "progressive". However, it will take leadership at the national level, the state level, and local level to "de-sensitize" the masses and quit "fragmenting" our society into "this American, that American, I came from wherever American; each vying for the piece of the public largess or public recognition. The same is true for "left and right". Instead of thoughtful discussion, the conversation quickly degrades into "you are a XXXXXX idiot”, if you had half a brain in your head……, you are an “fingxxxxx, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Then they get pissed and sue, or demonstrate, or the like. Many times their beliefs and sensitivity is not based in fact, but in "word snips" and "talking points" each without thorough investigation into its source, truth, or factual content. Then the mind and emotions rage from there. It spanks of immaturity and a bunch of folks stuck in emotional puberty! Too bad. I am more conservative, and you challenge me at times. I just don't think I'll demonstrate though!
