Re: Germany seeks joint history book
The best thing to teach a student is that bias almost always exists in encyclopedias, textbooks and media reports. It does not always have to be deliberate and some sources are more reliable than others, but it is there.
Unfortunately the current generation in power was taught that bias always exists so they might as well go ahead and invent their own reality. They seem to think that if they force everyone to put an opinion in textbooks very soon that opinion will become reality; like a kind of magic spell.
