I came across this article today about Hugo Chavez issuing a new educational law mandating that politics be taught in schools. It struck me as interesting to compare it to the fallout of President Obama's national speech to schoolchildren last week. There seem to me to be some similarities in the way that the message was delivered and also in the way that citizens received it. Hopefully, though, the differences outweigh the similarities...

(Sorry, I tried looking for it in English but couldn't find anything related.)
