Lim: Bias in schools

Men are not the SOLE breadwinners of the family as women are not the ONLY caregivers. To tell children of impressionable age that there is ONLY one form of family unit and that the roles of mother and father are FIXED is to teach children to discriminate against those who do not conform to this mold. And then there was this brouhaha over JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series spurring some schools to ban the books because they were about witchcraft. So what if they were about witchcraft? Does anyone actually believe that our children will want to become witches after reading the Harry Potter series? If such is the effect of media should we also ban films like Superman in case our children should be enticed to leap out of windows and fly? Where does such small-mindedness come from I wonder? It is simply unforgivable within academic walls. Minds thrive in environments that are freeof censure bias judgment. The goal of educational institutions should not simply be to produce brilliant minds but to produce minds that are open and able to respect accept and appreciate diversity. Our goal after all is to build a community not a cult.
