The Censoring of Information in the ClassroomCensoring of information in the classroom is an essential component in the making of
academics relevant through restricting the use of some information or making some informationavailable. Uncensored information may prove difficult for some students to understand and beinappropriate for students of particular ages. An instance of uncensored information is a teacherexplaining a high school concept to primary school children. Hence, censoring informationallows for the easing of academics and a progressive understanding of classroom relevantconcepts.Affirmative Case
1. Proposition:
The state of California must find an approach to censor information given to learners inclassrooms to prevent inappropriate age and unethical information from censored books.
1. Context:
After a lengthy debate, the state decided to make policies that constrain and restrict the useof censored books from the website.
1. Harms:a. Immoral information exposure- underage children may be exposed to information
not relevant for their ageb. Mis-information- students may miss understanding some information leading to
wrong actions and wrong applying of this information2. Inherency:
a. School Shutdowns- inappropriate information may lead to cases by parentsleading shutting down of the school
a. Risk of loss of careers- The tutor not following the set academic policies willface cancelling of their academic privileges and tarnishing their careers.
2. Plan: See proposition3. Solvency:a. Control information exposure- through the set inherency, caution will be taken to ensure
only appropriate information is given. (Gustavsson, 2018)b. Set policies- through standards and procedures, it will be possible to gauge and control
learning processes hence only academic relevant information.1. Advantages:
a. Misinterpretation controlled- with controlled information output, themisunderstanding by students will be controlled.
b. Teaches good practice- learners and teachers will understand how to gaugeinformation based on relevancy and appropriateness to prevent the use ofcensored information.
Negative Response:
1. Opposition to affirmative plan: The state to allow the use of any type of academicinformation as long as it is relevant to the course at hand.
1. Context: As much as there is censorship of information in academics, some informationmay be essential in ensuring the children get a complete understanding of some conceptsbut in a limited manner to limit harm and have a positive impact.
2. Harms:
a. Access to inappropriate information- if all resources are allowed in schools,children may get confused, have access to inappropriate data, and significantlyimpact their academics (Caskinett, 2020).
b. Difficulty in understanding concepts- the lack of censorship may make someinformation challenging to conceptualize for young students hindering theiracademic progress
2. Inherency:a. If no plans happen- academic stagnation and risk of school closure in cases of
complaintsb. If the affirmative plan happens- the learning environment will remain less than
optimal due to the lack of a coherent and appropriate mode of informationfiltering.
3. Counterplan: see opposition to an affirmative plan4. Solvency:
a. Use of the information- those who can understand still have to use the samesyllabus of information to get the same academic qualification as the rest.
