Brainwashing Propaganda, or Morality Lesson?

Quote:Usually, FoxNews has a tendency to exaggerate the truth, so unless I see it posted on more than one news site, I am hesitant to post my finding here, but I found the implications of this too disturbing not to share:
The reason they "exaggerate the truth" is precisely to get that reaction out of you. As Winston Churchill once said, a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on.

Quote: I've always thought they should teach morals through history instead of relying on the parents to take their kids to their god of choice for moral lessons and teach dry history classes, but I'm not sure this is what I had in mind... Using Obamas own speeches as learning material for our children to base their opinions on is bull, and getting them to read books written about him and by him if close to brain-washing if you ask me. If you want to teach kids responsibility and morality, do it through history - stop all the dry boring history lessons they teach in school and give them moral lessons, but don't use propaganda to do it...
This is really that disturbing to you? Giving kids a speech written by their president, and asking them fluffy questions about it? One that teachers aren't even obligated to use?
