Far Cry 5 digs its teeth into a very
controversial subject:
religion, its story taking place in a rural area known as Hope County, Montana where a group
of religious fanatics have taken over the village.
I didn't know that Horace Mann, as he worked to magnify the reach
of public education, was intolerant
of introducing
controversial subjects in the classroom: «If the day ever arrives when the school room shall become a cauldron for the fermentation
of all the hot and virulent opinions, in politics and
religion, that now agitate our community, that day the fate
of our glorious public school system will be sealed, and speedy ruin will overwhelm it.»
In addition, the new guideline extends the definition
of «
controversial»
subjects beyond those
of public policy and political or industrial controversy to include controversy within
religion, science, finance, culture, ethics and other matters.»
