79. OFFENSIVE IMAGES - An Ethic of Kindness

March 29, 2021 by DaN McKee in Censorship, Culture, Education, Ethics, Free Speech, Obligation, Philosophy, Philosophy Unleashed, Religion, School

“In my classroom, I don’t feel my free-speech is threatened, or my right as a non-Muslim to draw or see images of a Prophet I don’t believe in impeded, if I refrain from showing images to my students which I know violates their beliefs. It is an act of kindness to them, not an act of repression to me.“

68. ABUSIVE THEOLOGY - Why LGBTQ+ Students Deserve Better From RE

December 14, 2020 by DaN McKee in Education, Gender, Identity, Philosophy, Philosophy Unleashed, School, Religion, LGBTQ

“As a teacher of RE, and head of RE at my school, that we RE teachers are supposed to give oxygen to such ignorant and discriminatory views in our classrooms – and treat their prejudice and hurt as something that is to be respected – is something I find an outrage.“
