That isn't what I said. I view propaganda a little different than you. Propaganda in the context of the university meant to me a serious breach of truth and trust actionable by concerned parties. For you, however, it is whatever you disagree with. For instance, liberalism is apparently "propaganda" to you. I suppose that evolution is "propaganda" to you. And I suppose that teaching the Old testament wouldn't be "propaganda" at all, would it? But teaching Jainism would be "propaganda".

Real propaganda is if our tax dollars (or yours) went to help schools teach that creationism was a "scientific" alternative to evolution. And that kind of propaganda can be stopped through the legal system. When you talked about your son's English course being a propaganda course you were obviously simply meaning it taught something you disagreed with--hence it was "propaganda"--because if YOU disagree with it, then it is not true!

You live in a world of "propaganda". It doesn't sound like you will ever get out of that glass jar. You obviously think you're on the outside of the jar looking in. But you are on the inside looking out--and the lid is rusted on...
