But, I agree, education has, in some respects, always been about indoctrination or propoganda. I grew up thinking President Lincoln freed the slaves in the U.S. with the Emancipation Proclamation. It was years before I learned that wasn't true.
But, it's gotten much, much worse in the last 50 years. I watched a ten-year old boy crying on television as he explained that the world would blow up in five years due to pollution. I hated the bastards that taught him that. Another kid was shown saying that his teach had explained that if George Bush was elected he would bring slavery back. My son's history teacher taught that the Holocaust never happened.
I think it's much worse since the unions have taken over education.
