Following up my point about not blaming a system for individual behavior, I look at it like this, just because it's broken doesn't mean you have to assimilate to be the same.
I lived in Italy for 2 years, where I lived they weren't very tolerant of dogs, unwanted puppies were often left out to die alone. This was a widely held, accepted belief in the area. Living there and being exposed to this did not make me also view unwanted puppies as a nuisance. Instead when I found one barely clinging to life last year I took her hone, cared for her and let her in to my life. I didn't look at that shivering, dirty bundle of bones and walk on by like the locals would have because regardless of what I witnessed I still knew right from wrong.
A broken system is no excuse for a mindset that finds intoxicated teaching acceptable. If all the bad teachers jumped off a cliff, would he too?
