"Do You Know?"

So I'm sitting here semi paying attention Fox News while a plumber is runnning some loud contraption repairing my kitchen sink. I decided to just watch (since I couldn't hear) the promos and commercials, as I'd rather do that than listen to Glenn Beck.

I'm checking out the tube when suddenly I see "Do You Know What Textbooks Your Children Are Really Reading?" That got me thinking about the media and how much of an influence they have on every demographic out there.

Do parents actually need to watch a news segment on the textbooks their kids have? Do the children not have homework, hence bringing their books home? Sure they do, but I guess parents can't actually see the materials their kids are reading. It's so much easier to simply check out a seven minute news piece telling us what to do.
