I agree. There's a distinction to be made between people saying "you're stupid for how you look at things" and someone poking holes in another person's views during the course of a discussion. The former could be labeled "political intolerance" because it is an attack on the person, not their ideals. I don't think this is the case, at least not at Uni. Sure, most of my teachers don't share my political views, neither do most of my classmates, but this isn't intolerance any more than the two candidates are intolerant of each other during a presidential debate. This difference of opinions is what keeps us thinking, finding ways to reinforce what we believe while still considering different ideas and fitting pieces of the puzzle together. I do feel that this creeps in to the classroom a bit more than it should, but I'm not here to complain. I welcome different opinions from my own, even in much larger numbers, because only through these outside opinions can we learn that ever-important balance of concrete beliefs and open-mindedness.
