Here's a
great article about tolerance when tolerance means learning to agree to disagree such as in the case of the McCaskill/Gallaudet snafu as a result of a very public witch hunt.
Practicing true tolerance requires disagreement; it requires dissension.
But as the administrators at Gallaudet prove, our society has discarded
real tolerance and has replaced it with a kind that says, “You disagree
with me? Then you’re intolerant.”
It necessitates complete neutrality, and it limits people from picking sides on social issues.
This is dangerous.
It's better to learn tolerance than to automatically brand people as bigoted merely for disagreeing.
