of education

For university students to indulge the knee-jerk reaction, “This concept or idea offends me, I don’t like this, so take it away,” is not progressive or adventurous. It’s weak, solipsistic. It’s treating a vital endeavor as equal to the ‘Like’ button on Facebook.

In all disciplines students should grow to understand what they don’t like as well as what they do. Education is not a following-your-blis
