While browsing the *Teachers* forum on Reddit, I read this post.

The education system, as it currently stands, ain’t that great.

The original poster and a couple of dozen other people replied.  A third were supportive, so I engaged the other two-thirds.  Always be polite, but give no ground.

Several other people commented to disagree with the original post and started other threads.

After 200 comments, the original author withdrew her post.  My comment has 28 up votes.  I figured I’d be deep in negative numbers.

That’s a win.  Not only did she withdraw, but many conservative teachers know that they aren’t alone.
