I don’t think much of “slippery slope” arguments when it comes to teaching kids about respect and inclusion in schools.
The “protect the children” crowd will tell you that teaching kids to be themselves and respect each other is a slippery slope towards rash medical decisions and perversions galore.
I would argue that every restrictive policy enacted against evidence to pander to the “protect the children” crowd is a slippery slope towards legislated discrimination and hate. #onpoli #onted
