OTOH, I'm diverting from the text to teach my students how to SPOT an agenda...ANY agenda when one is run on them. I do this by pointing out that everything is a potential subject. When all sides of a subject are discussed it becomes an issue. But when only ONE SIDE of a subject is discussed, that subject usually becomes an AGENDA.

Thanks for opening the minds of your students and giving them a chance to see what's going on. I was reading your profile page and liked seeing this:

"You'd be surprised at the general reactions of students once they see how badly they have been conned by teachers, clergy and even parents their whole lives. I make them do the research and discuss the various agendas in all that we cover. I find that truth often (not always, but mostly) wins."

Love it!

My dean is hyper sensitive about . . . anything even looking in the direction of . . . end times, survivalism etc. . . . as in hostile to such. Have to be clever and cautious on such topics.
