I guess today’s theme is bigotry

I found this article upon reading one my favorite blogs this morning, and nearly threw

up. My question centers around how it is that these kids aren’t thrown out of the school. Sensitivity classes don’t address the actual problem. Sensitivity classes don’t quell hatred they suppress those viewpoints. And suppressing only leads to violent outbursts. The kids need to learn tolerancy, not sensitivity. The idea is to teach the kids that people have different beliefs and they have every right to follow those beliefs not to tell them that it’s bad to make insensitive comments about Jews, it’s just insensitive. That’s not enough.

In the workplace, if you were to make a racist or religiously bigoted comment you can

be fired, and for good reason. Those kinds of comments have no place in the workplace or in the class room, and it’s a shame that this school isn’t being more strict in trying to resolve the problem instead of putting a bed sheet over it.
