Stupidest thing you've ever witnessed in a classroom?

Anyone here who sincerely believe in silly concepts/ human constructs such as the notion of "good" and "evil" is without any doubt intellectually limited and must be rebuked and repudiated for demonstrating such low IQ.

"Kill one man, and you are a murderer. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill them all, and you are a god."; Jean Rostand, Thoughts of a Biologist (1939)

Many humans have a natural tendency to respect power, either out of fear, envy, or genuine reverence. This is why we forgive our politicians doing all sorts of horrible things that we would imprison or kill "regular" people for doing. Starting wars, sending others' kids off to die, squandering untold billions of dollars, wrecking the economy with ignorant economic policies, exercising arbitrary and capricious power over others, not caring about the consequences of one's actions, etc. Humans put a LOT of very unfounded faith in their leaders; it's one of our most irrational qualities.
