You can't handle the truth!

The title of this blog is something that appears to be making its way into our third level education system. Not one university in particular you understand.

It would seem that 'the powers that be' either (a) do not consider their students as capable of comprehending the real news or (b) are worried that if the real news were to come out, it could be detrimental for a college.

Here we are at the start of 2010, we're 10 whole years into the new millennium and yet it would appear that censorship is alive and well. Because that's what it is, no matter what anyone says, it is censorship. It seems quite backwards when you look at it like that. Surely the modern student is fully entitled to know what is going on? Surely they are more than equipped to be able to make their own mind up about what is put before them?

I do apologise. Speaking out of turn like that, asking questions of what I have been told. What am I thinking? I am but a student in a vast number of students. Until a student graduates they must keep it buttoned and accept what they are presented with, right?

Well, to quote another up and coming journalist: "They won't censor me."
