3 Things You Learned In Elementary School"When you have one guilty kid and 29 'innocent' kids that watched him do it, sat there laughing and refused to tell on the guilty kid, much less get up and stop him from doing it, then the teacher was RIGHT to punish them ALL collectively. This is coming from the kid who lit a firecracker on his history teacher's desk when the teacher fell asleep. Getting kicked out of a classroom I hated didn't bother me in the slightest. Having all the other kids mad at me, ostracizing me and telling on me FORCED ME to stop acting up rather quickly. Therefore the SAME peer pressure that extremists use to recruit more extremists can also be used to drive extremism out. When the other kids stopped saying, 'I dare you to ...' and started saying, 'Don't do it, or we'll all get in trouble,' that was incentive to stop."
