I encourage students to ask questions and to have open-minded, and kind discussions during class. If any sensitive questions come up, regarding topics such as warfare, intentionally cruel acts, gender roles in history, etc. my responses will always be evidence-based, age-appropriate, and relevant to the class topic. If I need time to get more information, I will defer the answer to the next class.
