I find it hard to believe that there is no absolute truth when I see the sun come up or observe any other in a myriad of natural processes. Aaron Thiessen Rigoberta's book may be a good story. Speaking as a student entering college next year, I don't want to be taught that what happened to her is true, when it never happened. If it happened to someone else, she should have written about them. I want a well-rounded education, but I don't want to be taught lies.
Truth based on lies is no truth.
We realize that man makes honest mistakes, but a deliberate lie is just wrong. Truth has no gray area. It is an absolute. There is no place for a compromise. Check this box if you would like this submission to be considered for publication as a letter to the editor in the printed Chronicle.
