• Teaches students how to think, not what to think;
• Fosters an environment where students can think critically and for themselves;
• Protects students from being influenced or indoctrinated to think a certain way;
• Ensures students can receive classroom instruction that is factual and objective;
• Helps guarantee that teachers serve as facilitators of classroom discussion without making students feel pressured to think a certain way; and
• Provides a well-rounded, world-class education that exposes students to multiple viewpoints and perspectives on a litany of topics.
