Yeah, Bek has a friend at school whose father is a genuine knuckledragging imbecile... The kid is going around his school (in ultra-lib Brentwood I must add) saying, "yeah, Obama was raised to be a Muslim terrorist, blah blah blah." Sarah, wisely, took the bull by the horns and wrote the principal and some of the teachers to give them a heads-up. Bek and I had a long talk about propaganda and racism while working on his free throw. Not that he ever bought into the silliness, but it was a good teaching moment in observing propaganda in action.
