re: Are you thereby implying/accepting that you (as an educator) allowed yourself (willingly or otherwise) to be used as a tool in the indoctrination process of young and impressionable Goan minds?

In India we have the National Policy of Education (NPE) which gives guidelines for the syllabus C) Values like patriotism, truth, goodness, honesty, etc must be promoted by all means if we are to exist as civilized human beings RESPONSE: I agree with # C, although, often times, I wonder what folks mean by the term 'patriotism'. By stating #s A and B (above), you have accepted Ole_Xac Bernado Colaco's point about "brainwashing'. And that is specifically a pity. Now perhaps, the following individuals will stop and ponder: 1: Those who were going 'hammer and tongs' against Goans who worked for the civil service in British East Africa. 2: Those who wonder WHY Goans are so Sossegado, Emasculated and Indifferent to the progressive filth in Goa. 3: Those who believe that "bhaille" micturating and spitting on the walls of Goan buildings is OK. 4: Those who continue to spout that # 2 & 3 is the fault of the Portuguese. 5:Those who believe that beneficial electoral CHANGE will come to Goa. 6: Those who 'pseudo-celebrate' mercenary-historians who talk in tongues to suit the audiences. jc --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
