Not one bit.<br /><br />What I do object to is multiple points being included and not eventually judged for their merits. We MUST make a selection! Otherwise, we are a nation of dilletantes.<br /><br />Certainly the anarchist position does have merits — if that’s the societal outcome you think is best. But those outcomes should be evaluated, because they have consequences.<br /><br />AND THEN JUDGED. <br /><br />And that is the problem with modern liberal education — the suspension of judgment. We must be able to select and make decisions. It is essential to the continuation of our species. <br /><br />The problem is that the “non-judgmental” (a lie) think the “judgmental” use brute force to enforce their desires. Never in human history has this NOT been the case — the strong exert much less oppressive influence on the weak in today’s society. <br /><br />So what’s it going to be?Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-17746128641146680692019-07-19T07:43:06.688-07:002019-07-19T07:43:06.688-07:00“There is only one Education, and it has only one ...“There is only one Education, and it has only one goal: the freedom of the mind. Anything that needs an adjective, be it civics education, or socialist education, or Christian education, or whatever-you-like education, is not education, and it has some different goal. The very existence of modified "educations" is testimony to the fact that their proponents cannot bring about what they want in a mind that is free. An "education" that cannot do its work in a free mind, and so must "teach" by homily and precept in the service of these feelings and attitudes and beliefs rather than those, is pure and unmistakable tyranny. ” <br /><br />― Richard MitchellUbuMaccabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237833458790876775noreply@blogger.com
