The question put forth is an EXAMPLE, a context in which the particular vocabulary word is supposed to be used. It's not a statement of opinion.

I suppose if the question had been, "Hillary Clinton should (relinquish/vanquish) her seat in the U.S. Senate", I doubt these knuckleheads would be raising any objection.

In the same way that I "fear the government that fears my gun" I fear the government (or individual) that fears open dialog and discussion (censorship). This is a hallmark of the current administration, to say nothing of others like Hitler's Germany, Mussolini's Italy, Stalin's Russia, Hussein's Iraq, Pol-Pot's Cambodia, etc.

Supression of speech has a very rich history of being intertwined with despotic regimes.

It is also troubling that government (or its citizens) would seek to stymie education, free speech, or use the process of educating our children to further a particular agenda. This tactic (both here and in regards to the idiocy of the "intelligent design" debate) is as desperate as it is contrary to the notion of "freedom".
