My Man: "Gamaliel"

One of my favorite folks in history is a dude named Gamaliel. He was a very educated man of his day and witnessed numerous uprisings and "discussions" pertaining to controversial issues of the day. In his wisdom, he did not encourage wiping out the opposition (literally); but he said if the "opposition" was wrong, they would be fleeting. Yet, if they were in the right, they would not be overrun. I try to follow this type of thinking and wisdom when I am faced with views of others that I do not necessarily agree. I feel it is my responsibility to educate myself to hopefully find myself in "the right" and be able to persevere. Yet, I try to educate myself in the view of all possible perspectives so that I can hopefully make the best judgement; especially when it comes to educating our youth. I feel that it is my duty to provide all avenues to the students and let them decide what is best for themselves. Sometimes, we adults mean well, but forget to educate impartially. We need to all strive to present all the facts and keep our opinions to ouselves. I personally find that I am a minority in the educational arena. By this I do not typically share the 'popular' view that most folks do. I must be one weird lady, I guess. When I do share my opinion, I feel like I need to apologize for offending someone else (I do not apologize for my opinion, just for offending others, which would never be my intention). Am I the only person who feels like a lonely person in the crowd? I would really like to get others views on this.
