[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Omg I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. I was saying that *of course* climate change and institutional racism are real! That is a baseline to me of common sense. I was trying to figure out whether kids can have debates/ask questions about all manner of political issues beyond that baseline. I assume (hope) anyone at Sheridan is anti trump, pro choice and willing to acknowledge white supremacy. But there’s lots of spectrum within those positions, lots to talk about if a child is comfortable. My concern is stridency and the threat of cancellation (or embarrassment or whatever you want to call it) from peers for saying the wrong thing, and above all age-appropriateness.

To the PP saying I’m conflating my slac with k-8, I truly hope you are right! That’s how I want it to be but I’m worried that political positioning and even some version of litmus testing happens earlier and earlier. This is sincere and does not come from “republican talking points”. That is not the world I’m in or the media I consume. [/quote]

“of course” not.

You really contradict yourself.  Even debate contests are chuckling away at controversial topics when they feel so self righteous.[/quote]
