In order to heal the break, the broken bone has to be exposed. Pretending it isn't broken won't heal it. Kors believes those tactics are divisive and only lead to a further polarization of society. Anything that divides us tribally doesn't produce a better society. It produces Bosnia, Kosovo.
Kors also objects to a workshop format for university faculty.
Barndt said that is not the workshops' intent. Nor does he think the workshops are a forum for debate. Our method of teaching is not debate. We don't think it's an academic debate any more than it's a debate about the laws of gravity and how mathematic theory functions.
