Why would you assume that I disagree?

Maybe its the old “just following orders” thing.

I think you are correct. We are once again seeing that most human beings have no backbone.

In addition to giving the teachers their jobs back, the school system had to pay a total of $493,000 in damages.

The "school system" isn't paying the damages. The taxpayer is. Really, it's the members of the Barrington school committee that should be held personally responsible.

And after Trump's voters were ceremoniously denied victory in the election, Americans had good reason to believe that we were in the midst of a coup...and therefore everything coming out of the government was potentially a lie in the furtherance of that coup.

This is a great point.

After his famous experiment, Stanley Milgram came to the conclusion that only about one-third of a population had the moral fortitude to resist an unlawful order.

Thx for that. Will spend some time going over Stanley Milgram’s experiments.

I just looked over Milgram's brief bio.

I remember as a kid watching a TV documentary on experiments in which people were told to inflict pain on others with electric shock (and the people being shocked would cry out). But people followed orders without complaint.

Those were Milgram's experiments, aren't they?

It sounds like it.

He conducted his experiment at Yale in the early 1960s. The arrest (and subsequent trial) of Adolf Eichmann had brought the Holocaust back to the front pages and he was curious about whether Americans (or any group of people) were capable of building a comparable infrastructure and carrying out a mass murder on the scale the Nazis had done some twenty years prior.

When later asked if he thought he could find a sufficient number of Americans in this country who could do such a thing, he reportedly replied that he thought he could find enough people for the job in New Haven (CT).

NOT SURE-—BUT I THINK that those damages are NOT TAXABLE INCOME.
