This business of banning teaching divisive concepts (HB 1255) gets more divisive as it goes on. Legislators wanting to ban divisive concepts might be reminded that this county began as a revolution. Isn’t revolution an inherently divisive concept?
Depending on one’s point of view, any concept could be divisive. Evolution, climate change and religion are three easy examples. Follow a ban on teaching divisive concepts to its logical conclusion at the end of a slippery slope and you get to the point where schools won’t be able to teach anything about anything.
