Academic Freedom and Classroom Conduct (NO COVID DISCUSSION)

Could you expand on this?

 

Thank you for adding this clarification.

But isn't education, and history, opinions/alleged facts in competition with one another?

Doesn't this competitive battle define both?

Little Big Horn from multiple perspectives for instance.

"History" IS opinion.

Anyone who doesn't know this doesn't know what history is.

As inexact a science as is science, so much vastly more so what we call the fiction of history.

And the more careful the fiction - the more subtle and pleasing to the majority, particularly the majority of the powerful - the more commonly accepted this fiction tends to be.

The reconsideration of "history" from differing perspectives has great value to all, and in a vast number of ways.

I think what we are learning through the pandemic and all of our entanglement and discussion is that there are germane "facts" but that those "facts" are colored a LOT by opinion. 

Each "fact checker" leans in the direction of their own bias. 

Dr. Google and his Clown Gang lean in the direction of authoritarianism and tyranny. 

Those opposed to authoritarianism and tyranny lean away from it. 

The truth is somewhere in between and the finally trajectory is determined by how much influence they can exert on truths, or history, or "facts".

You know...facts like the efficacy and safety of the shots, how well masks work and whether Gain of Function is actually Gain of Function. 

Or whether an art teacher can show a pic of Muhammed with plenty of prior warning for anyone that may be sensitive to it. 

Thank you for helping Zod make his point, JCJ.

The Holocaust is the Holocaust.

The body of "history" regarding the Holocaust, including denial thereof, constitutes history.

Thanks again for helping me clarify.
