That's a bit rich coming from someone who posted this piece of nastiness:

"It depends on who is doing the teaching Raggytash.

Can anyone imagine Steve giving a balanced view of politics? (Granted that he might well dismiss the whole topic as being unscientific)"

You don't understand that most teachers behave with integrity and believe in balance. I'd suggest that if you don't trust teachers on politics, you shouldn't trust them with science, history or the arts either. Rather than dealing in silly slurs, you'd be better off telling us how you think that good political education could be structured. As you've done two nasty posts close together, perhaps you could walk away from YOUR keyboard while you reflect and come up with your constructive ideas.
