Had he already read the lesson on fact vs. opinion, he might have noted that the supposed rights of other students were based on no more than opinions."

WTH?

There is a spectrum of fact to opinion, moral judgements are toward opinion. Punishments are based on shared opinion.

One could go to archives and examine the documentation from the period that shows this to be true. Now if you were to have made the claim …
