Secondly, only one point of view is presented (gee.....what a surprise from the leftist Times)..........and it is the docent's opinion, and not those who were questioning her.
We have four adult children. All six of us are strong Creationists, and well educated.........and we have done a lot of traveling and visiting of museums and National Parks.
In those museums and National Parks, we have read and heard a whole lot of evolutionist propaganda, stated as fact.
Should we all decide to ask the guide questions, we would not be 'mobbing' her or him. We (all six of us) would be asking legitimate questions and seeking legitimate answers........and there would be nothing inappropriate in doing so.
But I wouldn't be at all surprised if the guide needed a drink of water afterwards. :)
Honestly, if you limited your questioning so that the docent could move on to the next exhibit in a timely manner, and so not cheat other people on the tour from getting what they came for, then of course, there's no problem. But what this article describes is people going to a museum for the expressed purpose of monopolizing the docent's time to challenge the very basis of the museum's exhibits itself. That is a whole different matter.
If you would be asking a docent to do anything other than explain what the exhibit is supposed to show, your behvior would be rude.
You don't need to agree with the science behind it, you only need to agree that the explanation accords with the intent of the exhibit.
