In my view, to educate means to present all materials and information to the student so that the revelation of truth will manifest.

Which would put Holocaust-denial material on a par with mainstream history, white supremacist material on a par with mainstream social science, Ebonics on a par with English, etc.

In my view, to educate means to present all materials and information to the student so that the revelation of truth will manifest. Seems evolutionists however are afraid of letting their theories stand against opposing views. Why? If the theory of evolution is in fact the truth and supported by evidence you'd think the evolutionists would WANT their viewpoints compared to the opposition. Imagine how good they'd look if their theory were right. Now look at how bad they look because of their fear.

To paraphrase:

In my view, to educate means to present all materials and information to the student so that the revelation of truth will manifest. Seems Jews however are afraid of letting their theories stand against opposing views. Why? If the Holocaust is in fact the truth and supported by evidence you'd think the Jews would WANT their viewpoints compared to the Holocaust-deniers. Imagine how good they'd look if their theory were right. Now look at how bad they look because of their fear.

Get the point?

Students should first be taught the mainstream, consensus views on subjects. How will they have a basis for evaluating different positions, if they have no foundation? To insist that all viewpoints should be equally respected is a form of relativism I would think conservatives would not want to see expressed in our public schools.
