A teacher showed his students how to critically think about issues as opposed to just going with what other people say about them.
In this case, a student in class accused JK Rowling of being ‘transphobic’ and asked, given that fact, what the teacher thought about Harry Potter.
But the teacher turned it around on the student and had him dissect why he thinks Rowling is ‘transphobic’. In the end, the student said he felt like an idiot.
Watch below:
This is utterly brilliant. A student accuses @jk_rowling of being transphobic. This teacher skilfully dissects the claim and challenges it by asking questions.
He teaches not what to think, but how to think critically.
Watch until the end.
