[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would have liked my private school back in the early 90's, OP. I remember an assembly when we had a pro-choice woman and a pro-life woman debate each other. Every faculty member whose opinion I knew and most (but not all) of the students were pro-choice. As a pro-life student, I really appreciated that the subject was seen as being worthy of debate. I think that it would be really difficult to find both sides of this issue being presented respectfully at a school today. The school was totally nonreligious, but at Commencement (graduation) every year, we did have a short blessing said by a clergyperson. The school alternated between a Catholic priest, Protestant pastor, and rabbi, to respect the major religions represented at the school. I feel like those were the good ol' days.[/quote]

Sounds like my school in the 90s as well! It was run by jesuits and they pretty much left the door open for,discussion and disagreement on everything. Openly engaged and encouraged. It’s just a hidden thing anymore…

We’ve decided here that the 90s seemingly were the peak of a lot of things…[/quote]
