(cont'd from yesterday's post)
There's a question posed in yesterday's video, a question that provokes strong opinions.
"Any way you answer, someone's views are not going to be tolerated. There is no world in which the answer to this question accommodates and tolerates everyone and everything. The question which divides us is which public behaviors should be tolerated and which should not."
Old intolerance has been replaced with new intolerance. For example, 50 years ago a teacher might be fired for teaching A Communist Manifesto in school. Today a teacher could be fired for teaching the Bible in school. Did the parents of students choose this trade-off?
Should we have any standards at all? Who gets to decide what should be tolerated and what should not?
