re: #12 The Ghost of a Ghost of a Ghost of a Ghost
This goes for any other fact as well.
There was an attempt to pass a bill in Arizona making it illegal to force students to learn anything that is contrary their religious beliefs. (Arizona being very advanced when it comes to this sort of legilsation)
One stirist imagined the following classroom scene:
Teacher: What’s two plus two?
Johnny: Five!
T: No, Johnny, it’s four!
J: my daddy believes it’s five, and the law says you can’t make me learn otherwise!
T: But this is not about belief, Johnny, it’s about objective reality!
J: My daddy says he doesn’t believe in objective reality!
