who gets to decide how "radical" is defined and what is classified as "radical"? I certainly agree with leaving it up to the parent.

- lm28469 3y agoLike the parent of the dude who just cut the throat of that French teacher ? It's a family of radical islamists but who are we to say they're radical ? Maybe we just don't understand them ? maybe we are the problem ? Is antisemitism radical ? Are islamists radical ? Who knows right ? Such a tough question!
- master-lincoln 3y agoFor you the world seems to be black and white (assuming your comment was sarcasm). Radical means favoring extreme changes. So depending on where you live and in what part of society the things you mentioned above might not be seen as radical or they might be. I for example would have liked to not give children access to a bible too. That might be seen as radical in some christian societies...
