Venezuela's Chavez May Take Over Schools
 -- The things this guy is doing just for some attentions--CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened on Monday to close or take over any private school that refuses to submit to the oversight of his socialist government as it develops a new curriculum and textbooks. "Society cannot allow the private sector to do whatever it wants," said Chavez, speaking on the first day of classes. All schools, public and private, must admit state inspectors and submit to the government's new educational system, or be closed and nationalized, with the state taking responsibility for the education of their children, Chavez said. A new curriculum will be ready by the end of this school year, and new textbooks are being developed to help educate "the new citizen," said Chavez's brother and education minister Adan Chavez, who joined him a televised ceremony at the opening of a public school in the eastern town of El Tigre. The president's opponents accuse him of aiming to indoctrinate young Venezuelans with socialist ideology. But the education minister said the aim is to develop "critical thinking," not to impose a single way of thought.

Just food for thought, but doesn't the American education system indoctrinate students with capitalist ideology? And don't American private schools have to abide by Government curriculum standards?
I think the issue here is that the Associated Press does not like Chavez. If he was indoctrinating students with pro-American capitalist ideology, would this article have even been written?

And if President Bush was doing the same things, would you still be in favor of it?

The only thing that surprises me is that is took Eric 14 minutes to jump to his defense.

Eric,
You still haven't answered my question. "Would you still be in favor of these things if President Bush was the one doing it here?"

As I said above, the system Chavez is "threatening" to use is the one we use here. This is the way it has been for decades, long before Bush.
And yes, there is plenty of propoganda in US public school textbooks. When I was in school, the history textbooks said that the Spanish sunk the USS Maine and that the RMS Lusitania was not a military cargo ship, even though such claims had been established as propoganda and lies many decades earlier. I doubt it is different no matter which country you go to. They want little children to grow up indoctrinated to think their country is great.
