"Question authority."
That was the slogan of a generation disillusioned
by what they saw as the abuses of those in power.
A steady stream of foreign policy failures, presidential
scandals, and corporate abuses left an entire generation
skeptical of authority.
According to some educators, for example, the only way
to teach children to have a balanced view of the world is
to teach them to skeptically question everything in the
curriculum or the text. Nothing is to be taken for granted;
everything is to be examined as an antagonist.
And for some, "authority" is synonymous with "tyranny."
There is no essential difference between the exercise of
authority and responsibility for others and a repressive
boot pressed across the neck of the people.
