education is not about imposing your personal values on somebody else, and that covers morality.
edit: I like how this is being downvoted. congratulations.
- wheelerwj 10y agoIf you were actually an adult you would see the value in learning from other people's values. You can adopt them or rally against them, that part is up to you. But being an adult means hearing out other people and understanding their values and why they are important to the community you are interacting with.
- imode 10y agolearning from other people's values, yes. but a university is not a place to push morality. it's a place of education and ideas, and as a university, you can't stand by some values and curse others, because you're a campus of free thought and exchange. the moment that you express some preference towards some ideas and start labeling others as bad or horrible, you push your own morality. stop making it seem like I'm arguing for anything more than that.
- wheelerwj 10y agowhat are you talking about? do you actually have a problem with faculty from one of the most renown universities advocating for equal and discrimination free education?
