Please don't attack the man, attack the argument.

This person's comment immediately attacks the parent for being irrational - that is, putting the parent down. Attacking the person, not the argument.

That's what I call out and encourage them and others to slow down and consider peoples' humanity.

Happy educated young are a public good and the wealth of nations.

A rising tide raises all ships.

Female education is the driving factor in population stabilisation.

Inherited inequality is implicitly unjust.
