I think kids are encouraged to look differently and act differently; but I'm concerned the love of diversity doesn't extend to different philosophical outlooks.
I remember moral relativism and subjective truth sweeping through around the time we left school.
Everyone's opinions are equally valid. What's true for you might not be true for someone else, etc.
Now it's come full circle. If you don't agree with the the crowd, you've committed thoughtcrime and must be shunned; even if what you're saying would've been objectively true 30 years ago, and true for you 15 years ago.
