It's hilarious to me that people are so petrified of wrongthink. Must not ask the wrong questions, it could be "harmful".

And the answer is not to teach people better critical thinking and fact finding skills or to teach people ways to accept and cope with the fact that other people have different opinions about things than they do. It is to convince them they will be hurt by these things and must turn to others to protect them and prevent them being exposed to such dangerous things, like like those comedy sketches of parents covering their childrens' eyes and ears when they see something profane.
