UK teachers reject 'Army propaganda'
Of course, the fact that those self-same teachers have come up with their own anti-military propaganda is a point left unmentioned in the piece (though examples of the teachers' bias are quoted without critical comment).
Men and women who serve in the military are to be admired, and should be welcomed as positive role models for children in schools - not shunned and criticised by teachers with their own agenda for creating a certain mindset in their students.

You've got to be amused at the liberal press sometimes, and the way they think. Even if sometimes you might also feel the need to shout at them.
Obviously it's well enough known now that the highly regarded writer David Mamet wrote an article recently called Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal' in The Village Voice magazine. In it he discussed how he started to question long held political beliefs, and to think about his predjudices and ingrained thinking. As a result of this, he felt that he didn't truly hold many of these beliefs, and by expanding his reading and his thinking he had come to the conclusion that he held far more opinions that might be considered "right-wing" in regards to political and social issues.
