Oh course I do, which is why several of my comments in this thread were about the importance of statistics education.
I'm okay with having classes pointing out propaganda so long as it is even handed in pointing out propaganda irrespective of agenda. If a professor only points out the propaganda of those with whom they disagree, that's a bad class.

Part of educational development has to include the realization that your instructors themselves have individual biases. To expect educators to be completely even handed and bias free is unrealistic.

Agree and I think many people here on HN realize that. I can't say the same for many of the people I know that are college educated, which leads me to think that we're largely missing that aspect of educational development.
Don't you think it's important to teach children to consider how statistics can be cherry picked to support arbitrary agendas?
