In 'These Scholarly Topics Are Hotly Debated. So Why Don’t Syllabi Reflect That?' by Emma Pettit. It reads more as when the powerless feel powerful. When debate is one-sided, thus loss of power. Yet, when in power--debate turns to discussion, preferably, contentious politics--to never lose power again.
I agree: We should seek discussion, have more of a backbone, but not seek marginalization.
I think we should find common ground. I think higher education classrooms should teach from analysis texts that are based on facts, while incorporating memoirs and/or autobiographies from competing viewpoints. We should include theoretical frameworks or models to help guide our thoughts. We should always strive to advance civilization.
