In this video, we're going to be talking about moral reasoning and how it applies to being anti-racist moving forward.  Why moral reasoning? These issues aren't just cognitive in nature. In the article we're going to be using today for our discussion, it says that people often have a logical & cognitive developmental stage that is higher than the corresponding moral stage. If you let that sink in, I think there's a clear connection to a lot of modern day arguments.  I strongly believe that if we can elevate discourse and societal structures to operate at a higher moral reasoning stage, then a lot of issues will sort themselves out. Tone policing, logical fallacies, reliance on poor data or from peer pressure, perhaps even racism, can ultimately be eradicated if we work to incorporate this throughout our lives.
