I think you're being too nice. Is rage baiting teenagers really a debate?

That’s one way to frame it. A cynical and disingenuous one.

He presented an alternative to the indoctrination students often receive today at college campuses and through the media. He gave students a microphone and a chance to defend their views.

If presenting an alternative political philosophy causes someone to become enraged (or worse), we’re in a really bad state.
