In schools, children are taught that 1 + 1 = 2. Should more freedom of expression be allowed?
As far as I can tell, the point of school is to teach children useful knowledge and skills. That may be liberally defined, but not so liberally defined that it includes teaching information known to be false. What exactly would be the point of that.
So unless you are a total anarchist, I will assume you agree that there are limits on what should be taught in school. The argument then, is about what the proper limits are, and what is included or excluded by those limits.
