>And the fact is that propaganda is as much in the facts selected as
an argument made. Another propagandist would want to include the
"facts" of intelligent design or whatever facts support their
political views, and since students have a relatively low base of
knowledge, those facts will have a disproportionate effect on forming
their own view of the issue. <
this is why it's bad for a student to have the same teacher year after year for all classes. Students deserve to get a variety of propaganda (and that's what teaching is) from a variety of sources. They also get propaganda from their parents or guardians, from TV, from their peers, etc. In the end, it's their responsibility to sort it out. -- Jim Devine / Bust Big Brother Bush!
