"No absolutes" seems to be a recurring theme.

Which would not be so bad if not for the fact that institutions and the people who 'teach' this are only promoting it for those who are under their power, for themselves they reserve the right to deem those who disagree with them as wrong and themselves as always right.

And the statement that "there are no absolutes" is an absolute assertion. So it's self-contradictory nonsense.

It's a violation of the most fundamental first principle of reasoning, the Law of Non-Contradiction. But since government school detainees have absolutely no training in logic, they're helpless before such nonsense.
