Towards a safe environment

"Education isn't supposed to be safe. We study scary things. We study war,
terrorism and racism, but we study them in a safe environment."
I like this sentence, although it is in reality a whole program, because our educational environment - or , for that matter , the library - is not really safe, either. Only "the possible other world", which is said to be possible by the World Social Forum, would be safe. So "the possible other world" must be part of the education, or the library, in-built, so to speak; this is the whole program. It is the "principle of hope" (Das Prinzip Hoffnung) , as German Marxist philosopher Ernst Bloch might have said.
Via the link I also found "Future Librarians for Intellectual Freedom A blog created by future librarians interested in intellectual freedom and social responsibility", which also inspires hope.
