I'm sure you've heard most of the reasons why academies need open inquiry and honest conversation before, but I particularly liked Morgan's comment, "There's a conformist answer and those answers are boring, monochrome, and humorless." He's right. When there's a set of prescribed opinions and responses to issues in general, and moral issues in particular, you're no longer educating students. You're indoctrinating them.
