Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The issue of intolerance is increasingly being brought to our attention. (See, for example, a recent publication by Jay Newman, Foundations of Religious Tolerance, Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1982). A task force recently appointed by the Government of Alberta in response to the Keegstra affair was assigned to study the problem of intolerance within our education system and in our society generally. The committee's report gives expression to a very commonly held position, namely, that the key to fostering tolerance in a society is to maintain a strong and uniform public school system, and that the proliferation of private/alternative/separate schools will foster intolerance in our society.The purpose of this article is to refute this belief by clarifying the concept of "tolerance,'' uncovering some problematic assumptions underlying the opposition to educational pluralism, and considering relevant empirical evidence.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
