It depends: What grade levels of school?
If we are talking Junior high and younger, I do not believe it should be there, because it can give kids the wrong idea if they do not understand the context?
If we are talking high school, colleges, and universities, I think it should be there, because it calls attention to the horrors of pedophilia and grooming, and older students can understand the subtext and implied messages.
Free Speech · Snowflake · SocietyI have the right to offend youMixed1 comment·Apr 19, 2022
While you have a right to freedom of speech, meaning you have the right to offend people, that does not mean you are free from consequences.
- Freedom of speech means that the Government cannot infringe on your rights to speak your mind.
- Freedom of Speech does NOT protect you from the consequences of you offending someone, including, but not limited to: them saying their opinion back, them no longer wanting to associate with you, them thinking you are wrong or ill-informed for your opinion, and them being uncomfortable with your presence.
- Previous mention of Discomfort is particularly applicable to hate-speech, and should fellow employees be uncomfortable and employers agree that your words were uncalled for, they have a right to say they don’t agree with your speech and dismiss you from your position.
- You are free to offend, but you are not free from the consequences of your offense
Ethics · How to LiveI always give money to the homelessCommentary1 comment·Apr 19, 2022
I am curious as to how different the results would be if instead of “Always,” This said something along the lines of, “I believe I should try to help the homeless, but I often find reasons to avoid doing so.”
I think a lot of people agree with the concept of helping the homeless, but they don’t always. This can be due to a variety of reasons, such as feeling like they don’t have the money to share, saying they are too busy, or questioning what a homeless person did to be homeless and not trusting them to spend the money wisely. I think changing some of the wording would lead to some different data.
