By Robert JensenOne way to measure the fears of people in power is by the intensity of their quest for certainty and control over knowledge

Absolute truth is such a ridiculously plebiean concept. One that doesn't stand up to even the most pedestrian of examinations. Of course it's a member of the Bush family pushing into law.
Foolish of them to atempt this but expected. One must control information and how it is seen or understood to control the masses. And all governments are in the buisness to control others and not always in the best interest of the those they govern.
The U.S fears anyone saying what the U.S. does is bad or wrong, it looks bad upon them and makes them look like fools at times and not as smart or surperior as they wish to be seen to world at large. An image the U.S. can not alow to grow for it would undermine its power and respect in the world. And the fear that such power creates as well.
The tried and true way any ruleing force governs is by fear of punishment in the end really. No matter how it is packaged or sold to the masses it is the same in the end.
So if anyting said or done makes them look bad, make it illegal so the fear of punishment stops it from continueing which makes them look good for doing a righteous thing in their eyes.
this is shocking. as an aspiring teacher, i'm constantly overwhelmed by the limits placed on those who try to foster critical or intelligent thought. this is absolutely rediculous.
there's no way they can keep this shit under wraps. the more they try and supress it, the more it will blow up in their faces.
of course, most teachers don't even bother teaching interpretive history anyways, because schools (at least in north texas) religiously only hire history teachers who can coach something, and this rarely adds to an academic setting.
hmm. Something I always say to eveyr teacher I meet.
I learned a great many things in my time in public education. But the two most important skills I have needed in real life. Where almost completely untouched in my 13 years of public education.

I get this image of Beavis and Butthead getting this real tense look on their faces for a few seconds, and then going, "EXTINCTION BURST!!!"
