education or propaganda?
Shayne is a very smart 21 year-old who, having just emerged from our educational institutions, is highly suspicious and cynical about all of the government funded propaganda bombarding students about what they can and cannot do, and what’s good for them and what’s not, and she thinks teachers should get back to education and leave the propaganda to politicians.
"Hey parents, check out what your kids are being taught at school NOT to do," laughs Shayne, "because the hidden agenda could very well be to go out there and do it."
"When you tell a kid enough times NOT to do something designed for pleasure what the hell do you think is going through the kid's brain?" asks Shayne. “And, since when has it been the duty of school teachers to feed kids with government propaganda? No wonder half of our kids come out of school half-baked, knowing nothing.”
"People should realize that bombarding children with anti-smoking propaganda, for instance, only makes them curious," explains Shayne. "If the purpose of educating children against smoking is to prevent them from taking up the habit then it doesn't work – and the same thing goes sex education, with more teenagers becoming pregnant than ever before.”
"I probably wouldn't have taken up smoking without all that so-called ‘education’," laughs Shayne, "so I get to wondering whether the real purpose of it was to make us so curious that we'd become hooked and whether all those anti-smoking do-gooders at my school were really tobacco industry stooges."
"The other drugs they warned us about just didn't register because they were illegal and you couldn't buy them easily," explains Shayne, "so it was almost as if they were directing us towards cigarettes."
