He was a professor - I suspect that he would applaud these children for stretching their minds.
He was a survivor of Nazi germany - He would applaud these children for using the voice they still have.
He was an opponent of war. You do the math.
And he showed that Newton was wrong.
And Lincoln? I seem to remember he had some pretty strong politcal opinions.
What about Eisenhower, who warned us against the rise of the military-industrial complex?
Or Theodore Roosevelt who said - "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
I was taught Thoreau. Who taught me about civil disobedience. Did my school make a mistake?
What about Oppenheimer? - he was also a physicist. Or is his history a little too embarrassing?
What about Schroedinger? Heisenberg? You don't even want to know what those two little subversives were hiding in their equations.
Or Darwin?
