Actually, the way our educational system is, it's very difficult to have a contrary viewpoint.
Last year, for instance, the class read a short article on how Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" should be banned from schools because of the language used in it.
I wrote that we were judging an 1870s book by 2000s standards, and that it's a dumb thing to do. And that there's no reason to ban any sort of literature in a country of free speech. And that if certain people would take the time to read the damn book instead of getting offended and trying to get some publicity, they wouldn't be trying to ban it.
Of course, this got me threatened with suspension, letter to parents, all that fun stuff.
The way I see it, by identifying yourself as a member of a group, you lose your individuality and become just another faceless herd animal. People associate themselves too closely with a certain group, and it ain't right.
