- Teach political history with different accounts
“Which is why I seriously detest mind-numbing drama series like those (yes, including the few I’ve acted in myself). The poison the minds of housewives everywhere. Not that they need more poisoning. People who watch these shows and enjoy them end up developing a worldview that is quite particular, where things are black and white, and stupid family values like clinging on to an obviously fucked up marriage and truly evil family members are endorsed.”
SO SWEET!
“If you had seduced ninety girls with ninety poets, one a week in a course of three academic years, and remembered them all at the end—the poets, I mean—and synthesized your reading into some kind of aesthetic overview, then you would have earned yourself a degree in English literature. But don’t pretend that it’s easy.”
Great concept from JC kids, but the text was a let-down.
“Introducing political education in schools is fine, but it should not be one-sided. We need to have media literacy programmes, and also teach a clear and undoctored political history that is not dictated by one source, but contains different accounts.”
