"You seek to have students believe in the "culture of the individual" (wow, does that phrase sound Marxian), by banging it into their heads time and time again. That's fine. But I find it amusing that you think inculcating students in this fashion is somehow above the dirty little ritual of getting people to believe what you believe by only letting them hear what you have to say." Have you been following the posts? You are not speaking to my point. Now we degenerate into ad homeum attacks and depart from discourse. Sigh...this is the standard leftist rebuttal.
It is sad...

My understanding of your point is that your view of the individual (a view which I happen to share) is better than the view typically held by Marxists (a point on which I also agree), but that when you inculcate that view through the education process, you are not presenting an ideology that you are attempting to have the students believe, and that sometimes we do so by attempting to restrict their access to other ideologies (and that's where we disagree: I think that we are presenting an ideology and that we do and should restrict other ideologies from being presented in the education process).
