While looking through an educational journal from the City of New York, I came across an article promoting tolerance. The author suggested that in "an age that has produced Sigmund Freud, Bertrand Russell, G.K. Chesterton and John Strachey, not to mention Stalin, Hitler and Fiorello LaGuardia, is not one in which we can rejoice in each other's ideas." his idea of tolerance was to simply insist that ones "creed, no matter how far it diverges from our own, is his affair and that he has as much right as anybody to air it."
This made me wonder how La Guardia got lumped into the bin with Stalin and Hitler. What made him, at least in the eyes of this particular New York City educator, part of the bad group of ideas?
