Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not [a]be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all [b]comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Stephen Huzar: Critical thinking involves seeing more than just "your side" of any issue.
I won't be opaque about this - I am conservative and applaud this action. Why? The world is made up of more than one viewpoint. The student joined a "Children's literature" class to learn.... children's literature. Whether you are liberal or conservative, that student has a right to learn ONLY about the subject matter. Being a professor doesn't give carte blanche right to push ANY "social agenda" (whether liberal or conservative). If that student was tested on the concepts of "inclusiveness" and "why is it important to value and respect transgenderism" when learning about "children's literature," that would be wrong. Just as if the professor taught liberals in that class "how to persuade children to read the Bible and love Jesus in children's literature." I would argue teaching the latter in a Children's Literature class is actually significantly more relevant to the course topic than the former. I took a "Bible as literature" class where we learned how the ancient writers of the Bible used literary devices. It was not a theology class, and nor were we persuaded to believe any certain way. We just learned the topics of things like foreshadowing and how the writers used repeating patterns to make certain central points, etc. You can argue "transgenderism" into almost any curriculum (e.g., "the importance of considering transgender patrons in the design of public spaces" in an engineering class). But that would be pushing a social agenda, not covering a relevant course topic. If you think otherwise, then the course content should be open to allowing in BOTH sides of the social agenda -- "the importance of considering devout Christians in public spaces" in an engineering class when all the students should be learning is how to construct beautiful spaces that don't fall down.
What I always find odd about liberals is they tend to push their social agenda onto conservatives under the guise of "open mindedness" and "human rights" but completely ignore considering both sides and respect that others hold values different that their own. The comments on this post once again highlight this paradox.
