I have very little tolerance for "bad" actions- especially cruel actions. But my tolerance for beliefs and thoughts is quite great. There is danger in tolerance, but I see more danger in repressing thought. I DO believe in setting an example for the kind of thought I find productive and purposeful.

My ideas outside of the classroom are different from those in it, as well. I have great respect for parents- and my job is somewhat unique in that I deal not with fully formed adults, but with children being formed by their parents. While the schools also form children in certain broadly accepted ways, it is not our job to usurp parental authority in the area of belief.
