I don't believe he said that it's "for the children". However there are not many he missed. How would you like to have this sap for a teacher? If he really believes all the crap he said, then woebetide him and his students.

Folks: Some of you have done a thorough job of picking apart the author of this article, whose basic point was that everyone in this world is a fellow human, regardless of which borders they live in. Today, on this website, you will find that spirit on this website with the other discussion threads covering topics, e.g.:

Torture of Iraqis by Saddam, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, etc.

but not on this thread.

He did not say that we should tolerate injustice or evil, whether it is in Iraq, 37th St Manhattan, or Zimbabwe, or even laziness.

The problem here is that he happens to be a Diversity Professor in Maine (a "liberal" state). Some people connect that with him being a Pacifist Socialist.

By the way, Baha'u'llah, whom he quotes, said a bit more than what is quoted here - try more than 160 books and tablets worth - much written while imprisoned.

Besides, is it really so bad "for the children" that they grow learning about life in Norway?
