Reply #63: "How dare someone assert anything is more "enlightened" than my beliefs."

Which is precisely why you will never grow another inch intellectually. I INVITE people to challenge what I think because if my opinions can't stand up to scrutiny then they probably need some re-evaluation. You, on the other hand, get insulted if someone suggests your beliefs might be wrong.

That kid needs to be challenged. So do you frankly. That is the role a good school is supposed to play, to challenge students, to encourage them to think outside of the narrow spectrum they entered with. To become something better, more rounded, more confident in themselves and in what they think or believe. I am truly sorry that there are those who feel otherwise.
