So, this is a played out discussion, but a recent post by administrator troubled me. For me, purity trolls are as bad as concern trolls. It is the purity trolls in the Republican Party, for example, who have driven out any moderates who might have been amenable to discussion. It is the purity trolls of modern reform that say, "if you do not like our ideas, then you just hate ideas! And you also hate kids."
So, one of the admins told someone if they don't hate common core they should find and other group. Now, I have 87 things on my list of worries above common core, so I have not even really thought about it much, but I am not instinctively opposed to natal standards. That is not the point though.
i am badass, not afraid to confront power, and damn good at what I do. I would never quit BATs, because I believe in it so much, but this "purity test" concerns me greatly.
Remember that a homogenous herd will give you deformed offspring. Same darn thing is true with a movement and its ideas.
Thanks,
Alec. (Not the bad ALEC either!)
