    One of the good plots from DS9 was Keiko O’Brien fighting against then-Vedek Winn to keep reactionary religion from fucking up science education.

    We barely got any Keiko after that though, especially in her role as a teacher. Not grim dark adults in the room enough for Berman.

      Agreed, and I think that was a direct consequence of Berman’s hatred for children in general and “Adult In The Room” self-identification.
