“Once students understand how gender, race, and class distinctions are used to oppress others, they are then free to ignore absolute ‘truth’ since it is only a reflection of one’s own privilege.”

Yup... that was their mantra in college, when I was a student. “Damn the absolute, the truth is relative.”

However, I had a for-real upbringing (read: right and wrong exist and we depart from that fact at out own peril. I am living proof that you will not only survive serious a^%-kickings for infractions on that rule, but you will become a responsible and mature adult just the same and I think, a whole lot sooner). ALSO I read books lots of them, NOT just the ones on the syllabus.
