Huckabee answers questions about Jesus & Creation

Have you been indoctrination by educators in schools and universities. Know what it is before you answer!

Indoctrination (Propaganda)
1. Uses generalizations, "allness" statements: Lacks specific references and data.
2. One sided: Different or opposing views are either ignored, misrepresented, underrepresented, or denigrated.
3. Card stacking: Data carefully selected to present only the best or worst possible case. Language used to conceal.
4. Misleading use of statistics.
5. Lumpism: Ignores distinctions and subtle differences. Lumps superficially similar elements together. Reasons by analogy.
6. False dilemma (either/or): There are only two solutions to the problem or two ways of viewing the issue -- the "right way" (the writer or speaker's way) and the "wrong way" (any other way).
7. Appeals to authority: Statements by selected authority figures used to clinch an argument. "Only the 'expert' knows."
8. Appeals to consensus (bandwagon): "Everybody's doing it" so it must be right.
9. Appeals to emotions and automatic responses: Uses words and pictures with strong emotional connotations.
10. Labeling: Uses labels and derogatory terms to describe proponents of opposing viewpoint.
11. Ignores assumptions and built-in biases.
12. Language usage promotes lack of awareness.

Education
1. Uses qualifiers: Statements supported with specific references and data.
2. Circumspect and multifaceted: Issues examined from many points of view. Opposition fairly represented.
3. Balanced: Presents representative samples from a wide range of available data on the subject. Language used to reveal.
4. Statistical references qualified with respect to size, duration, criteria, controls source, and subsidizer.
5. Discrimination: Points out differences and subtle distinctions. Uses analogies carefully, pointing out differences and nonapplicability.
6. Alternatives: There are many ways of solving a problem or viewing an issue.
7. Appeals to reason: Statements by authority figures used to stimulate thought and discussion. "Experts" seldom agree.
8. Appeals to fact and logic: Supports arguments with impartially selected data and logic.
9. Appeals to people's capacity for thoughtful, reasoned responses: Uses emotionally neutral words and illustrations.
10. Avoids labels and derogatory language. Addresses the argument, not the people supporting a particular viewpoint.
11. Explores assumptions and built-in biases.
12. Language usage promotes greater awareness
