I may disagree with some of Chomsky’s views, but Manufacturing Consent should be read in every high school in America.

I think Chomsky & Parenti are intentionally kept out of the new, post-Trump media literacy curricula, because it would make people too literate. Just consider who was involved in crafting it.
