Okay, so it doesn't really inflame me, (like people who piss on toilet seats) but it does irritate me.
I could handle being required to read conservatively biased articles at school, as long as they were counterbalanced with some from the other side. I, personally, am too independent and arrogant to not be able to think for myself, but the principle of the thing is rather sickening.
Just because my teacher is a card-carrying member of the christian right doesn't mean us kids should only be exposed to one viewpoint at school. The actual activities and articles are fairly harmless, but the concept itself is bordering on criminal.
Only reading things that you KNOW you'll completely agree with is like masturbation. Perfectly alright - but if it's all you ever do, you're one sorry mother****er.
