Shame on ABC for Propagating Lies
It's that time of year again when the U.S. media unabashedly and heavy-handedly exploits the grief of the people of this nation. Shame on all of them. Once again the conservative neo-Nazis are using the tragedy to obtain political gains. This year ABC is airing a "docudrama" called Path to 9/11 which essentially rewrites history by blaming the Clinton Administration for the events of September 11. And right before the November elections...how subtle.
You can read all about this abomination here.
Perhaps even more disturbing is the fact that Scholastic, Inc. was planning to show this propaganda (with an accompanying "study guide") in 100,000 classrooms across America. In another victory for the politically active, Scholastic responded to petitions by pulling these materials in favor of a critical thinking approach with a focus on media literacy!
Bask in the good news here.
Anyone who thinks that trying to make a difference is pointless should take heed and step up to the plate. We have a solemn responsibility to make our voices heard.
