Lest anyone think this is hopeless, people will surprise you. You will be called names and have every logical fallacy in the book thrown at you, but most of the adults and most of the young people have a sense that indoctrination and thought policing is wrong. All it takes is one person to break the social norms to establish new ones. The other thing necessary is for teachers to publicize this stuff when it happens. Let the community know what is happening. Teachers like this guy end up having discussions with their spouses when this time comes. Ultimately, you have to look at the man in the mirror at the end of the day and do what is right, regardless the professional repercussions. I would be a hypocrite if I continually pointed out the cowardice of college profs who refuse to speak up, all the while not doing the same at my level.
