I've trained myself not to do it. I'm always interested in valuable, credible informat…

You seem to deny there is any propaganda or indoctrination happening in U.S. education. A commenter asked what it would take to change your mind, and offers a hypothetical scenario as a test (which may have some basis in reality, but excludes that from consideration), and you refused to consider it. Do you think there is any sort of evidence, if demonstrated adequately, that would change your mind? What sort of evide…
