The following parody is a great example of the intolerance of "tolerance", especially as it applies to some modern educators.
Contrary to the hippie peacenik, former-seminarian "facilitator" (played by Kevin O'Brien), G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy is an outline of sanity. (BTW, the etymology of orthodoxy is actually ortho = right or straight, and doxy = opinion or thinking; that is, orthodoxy comes from the Greek meaning right opinion.)

Bob,
ReplyDeleteVery funny - thanks for the post. I think we've all been there at one time or another.
My question is this - how do you respond to such intolerant 'tolerance'? I thought the student in the vignette showed admirable restraint. I would have 'engaged' the hippie dude, and thus confirmed his suspicion that I was, indeed, an intolerant Chester-zealot.
What to do? How to preserve charity and truth simultaneously?
