Another way to work this into teaching is tie it in with the origins of life-style choices - whether exposure to dolls (whether it be a "tele" or a G.I. Joe) makes any difference at all in the subsequent life-style choices of people. You can also get into the idea that early experiences are not one-way streets. Dolls may influence children, but children also select their own dolls. They wouldn't be popular if they weren't cute to children (as most dolls are). But, I digress way beyond the original issue. Yes, Falwell is searching for press. Even Bernard Shaw struggled to finish this story without laughing - proof of the liberal bias of the media? :) Susan Waters wrote: > > Hi all, > This "teletubby" release is just one of many I think shows how far Falwell > will go to get press.
