The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

School board NIMBYs do be like that.
Surprised they didn't call the author a tankie.
Should be more like, "teaching to question authority instead of blindly accepting it"
I mean, that gets complicated.
I've been in classrooms where - say - staunch evangelicals are constantly questioning the authority of a biology teacher as she's working through the lesson plan. But this tolerance for "questioning authority" only ever seems to swing one way. You won't see equivalent degrees of tolerance extended to, say, arguing with a gym teacher in an "abstinence only" health class who insists that condoms have a 50% failure rate or a history teacher who keeps rebranding the Civil War as The War of Northern Aggression.
