Well, I will argue about it in another thread if you like, but I dont want to take this too far off track.
But it does show that people can form their own opinions, no matter what they are educated. The Texan state can teach children that the UN wants to usurp US soveriegnty, but people who are interested can decide for themselves. There are nations like Saudi or Iran where information is restricted and education can be an indoctrination... in America no one has an excuse for accepted what they are spoon fed in school (I remember, for example, at school we regularly forced to sing along to the capitalist propoganda hymn "all things bright and beautiful - other than the one Muslim girl who had to stand outside staring at the wall while we all sang hymns, I expect most people envied her)
