Well, acceptance to lifestyle choices is a little different than the acceptance to "leet speek" or "text engrish" in my opinion. If a ........... wait a minute. not going there.
Well, I guess that takes us back to everyone setting their own standards. I don't like the stupid text language, but it's become part of life. What's acceptable to one is not acceptable to another. Where shall the line be drawn, and is there anyone that can draw such a line as to appease all parties involved? No.
It's like the stupid "coexist" new world order bumper stickers. When the people that one symbol represents are sworn to eradicate two other symbols, there is no way it's even remotely possible. The new world order is only possible through genocide of the opposition. People cannot agree and come together as one. Never gonna happen. (how's that for grammar?)
That takes us back to whether we allow the students to rule, or the parents and teachers. When the party dissenting calls the shots, they have the power. Evidently, the education system is now run by those being educated. That may be a bit like the government employing more workers than the private sector. Once that happens, all control of government by the people is gone.
If educators took the position serious enough to fail those that can't cut it in school, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Were it up to me, any student handing in work that is beyond comprehension in the language it was assigned in..........well, I'd be seeing them next year, too. People (anything, for that matter) need to be allowed to fail if they do not measure up to the task.
So, I agree. Acceptance of the unacceptable is intolerable, but I must tolerate it because someone will always disagree with me. (and they are usually liberal democrats)
