The bus driver was fired for being too educational by those who either wish to indoctrinate or are fearful of litigation by those that wish to indoctrinate the children.

"too educational" = opinion

"those who wish to indoctrinate" = impuning motives and making assumptions

"are fearful of litigation" = impugning motives, undocumented assumption

"too educational" = opinion

("too educational" = opinion) = opinion

(("too educational" = opinion) = opinion) = opinion

A redundant loop of silliness.

"just your opinion" = lazy thinker with weaker opinion

I have defined the difference between educating and indoctrinating as fairly as I could earlier (this is after all a summary). Although one must be careful when trying to descern motive, but such assertions are neccesary in understanding the world around us. If I have interpreted motives incorrectly, please show me how.

"making assumptions" is neccesary for all critical thought (at least for mortals, God doesn't need to). If you don't have to make assumptions in your arguments, then please enlighten me.
