She said, “ It might be well if we examined each and every one of our prejudices and intolerance in an efofrt to dis­ cover whether we hold these ideas because they are scientifically sound or just because they have be­ come habits.” Bahnson dramatized the unjust and irrational attitude from which intolerance and prejudice springs.
