Poor, poor old man...Abbey Hoffman is dead - he's comparing rimming techniques with McCarthy.
Political agendas have no place in education. The left and the right don't want "education". They want to produce mindless ideological consumers for their faith.
The goal of education is not to teach people what to think (contrary to the kennedy's or bush's) but how to think...when political agendas enter the fray, just like commercialism, education becomes a means to a self serving end.

Please ... Abbie Hoffman? I was never had a very high opinion of the Yippies.
As far as the rest of your statement - I happen to agree with it, such as it is. It does sort of smack of a cut 'n paste from a mediocre high school essay of some sort; the other problem, of course, is that it has nothing to do with anything I said.
