Our Times: Universalists versus Particularists



The Universalists say that it is improper for teachers to take elementary and high school students out of class to participate in a political protest that is neither favored by many of the parents and students nor by the local school board. 

The Universalists also would not approve such activities for causes in which they believe because they support the equal application of the standards.

The Particularists say that exceptions are proper if the cause is one which the teachers and many others deem to be just.

The Particularists would not favor similar conduct if the cause were one that they opposed.
