Another reason to homeschool

So that when your kids see asinine articles arguing that Chinese occupation has been good for Tibet because of highways and railroads being built there, they'll have the knowledge of western civilization to understand that the argument is simply "Bread and Circuses! What a wonderful emperor!"--and remember what the downside was of living in that time.

One would figure as well that someone in the business of publishing a magazine would take a very dim view of nations that strictly limit freedom of speech, but apparently not. Maybe the Chinese are buying Newsweak's bonds as well as U.S. government securities?
