"Everyone gets offended nowadays if they see something they disagree with and feel the need to butt in." Yet... here we are, you taking offence over something you admit it doesn't affect you directly, and you're having total meltdowns over your defence of the indefensible, the irony...
I believe that there is a significant difference between telling the cadets the full picture and calling for caution, and demanding them not to do it. I certainly wouldnt tell them to, however I did advise to proceed with caution with the added note that once the assessment is passed, that they should ask for a much later course date as it buys them time.
Step off the keyboard, have a drink and watch a good series as you are completely misguided.
