Real Tolerance Training

Doug TenNapel:

It’s not hateful or intolerant to vote that marriage should remain between a man and a woman. Tolerant isn’t a position, it’s how you treat people who hold positions you hate.

It also isn’t tolerant to believe that all ideas have equal merit. This is an irrational position I’m embarrassed to even bring up.

Yep:

As many have observed, the insistence that there are no absolute truths is a self-defeating position. The insistence on tolerance via indifference is equally self-defeating. At its core is the belief that there is nothing worth believing to the extent of rejecting other alternatives.

True tolerance is allowing others to be wrong without disrespecting them. It is not pretending that there is no wrong or right.
