Seeking excellence and demanding ideological conformity at the risk of prison don't seem compatible to me.


Are you talking about china or the US?


That doesn't stand up to scrutiny, the US is famously politically and ideologically divided. I understand the impulse to say "no, you" but we can do better than that here.


Point taken about the snark, but ideological conformity is a growing pressure everywhere, and the fact that it has two poles in the US doesn't lessen the negative effects on education.
