Library, Thursday

[genesishero]

The library was actually pretty quiet when Evan came in for his shift. The books were just as well-behaved today as they had been yesterday, putting things away went nice and smoothly. All morning, pretty much the only thing that had gone remotely wrong was that he'd caught a vampire novel mis-shelved in amongst the Harlequin Romance. That couldn't be right, right?

And that was the day he was more or less prepared for. At least, until around noon, when out of nowhere, the floor around his desk flooded in a small tidal wave of mackerel.

"Hey!"

That was what Evan got for listening to the radio in the library before his shift. The place got ideas.

Ethics [Thursday, February 7, 2013, 2nd period]

"Please set yourselves up along that white line," Anakin said as he strode into his classroom.

Sure enough, a long white strip of tape had been put down the middle of the room and the desks had been shoved to the sides.

He waited until all of the students were lined up before explaining. "There's a philosopher from this world named John Rawls, who believes that most reasonable principles of justice are those everyone would accept and agree to from a fair position. In Fandom especially, we are coming from a variety of cultures and traditions to examine ethical dilemmas, and so the idea of a 'fair position' is a bit of a moving target. The choice that might be right for you might be completely contrary to my own life experiences, but that will not make your point of view less valid."

Anakin began pacing, his cloak swirling around his ankles as he did so. "Rawls believed that to come to this fair position, a magical 'veil of ignorance' must be put into place in order to erase everyone's knowledge of their places in society." He smiled a little wryly. "I'm not saying that at some point, Fandom might not do that sort of work for us and erase your memories of who and what you are, but today we're going to conduct an exercise that's slightly less drastic--one that will make you examine the parts of your life you might take for granted, and how that affects your view on the world."

He glanced down at a piece of paper. "Let's begin."

Sex Ed, Friday, Period Two

Unlike the past couple of weeks, there was a Thor in the classroom today! How exciting! Also the classroom wasn’t the classroom so much as the Danger Shop set up to look like the classroom.

( I hope you were all well-behaved... )
