ML: Nothing Wrong w/Diverse Views

Re: Idaho Education Department fields question of Obama’s speech /AP, Press

My proudest achievement as a classroom teacher was to open up discussion among a group of kids who represented strongly divergent views. We set ground rules for civility and respect of others’ views and then we “let ‘er rip” for the rest of the hour. Occasionally I had to play referee, but always kids walked out the room pumped up and passionate about the lively debate that ensued. We should have faith in our young people that they will make the right choices on how they want to live their lives and how they want to conduct themselves in a world abounding with diverse thought and diverse cultures. We should not rule their minds by perceived fear of what’s out there/ Marianne Love , Slight Detour. More here .

Question: What are some issues that you and your children disagree on?
