H. Wilson has addressed a letter to all school superintendents outlining the policy of the educational administration of the State of Oklahoma in this connection. The letter follows, is well worth reading, and, almost needless to say, will meet with the hearty approbation of a vast majority of citizens: -the article Supt.

That means always challenging the official story, however patriotic that story may appear, however seductive and insidious it is. For propaganda relies on us in the media to aim its deceptions, not at a far away enemy, but at you at home. It's very simple, in this age of endless imperial war the lives of countless men, women and children depend on the truth or their blood is on us. "Never believe anything until it's officially denied." said the great reporter, Claud Cockburn. In other words, those whose job it is to keep the record straight ought to be the voice of people, not power. - John Pilger, journalist; documentary filmmaker; war correspondent; from his film "The War You Don't See" (2010)
