Liz: Respect Begets Respect

Liz: I have returned to the classroom a couple of times in my adulthood. As an evangelical Christian, what I have found is this: if you are respectful that others do have a right to believe something else, then you are for the most part also respected even with politically incorrect views. The ones who come out spoiling for a fight and imply an insult along with a carefully (or more likely NOT so carefully) thought out argument wind up slinking out with their tails between their legs feeling like they were “persecuted."
