Tolerance

I learned today what it felt like to be discriminated against. I was in a class that was discussing a controversial topic. The person that was heading the discussion made it very clear that anyone who had an opinion based on a faith could not respond. I realized that if I had anything to say it would be void. What I believe about that subject is based on my faith in Jesus Christ and what the Bible says. It was difficult to be in a "open" discussion about having more tolerance for a group of people, but yet there was no tolerance for a faith based argument. I will remember this when I have a class room. I want to create an environment where discussions can happen without trying to "win over" people and exclude other opinions.
