Teaching the BBC world view
BBC website takes political coverage to all secondary school pupils - Times Online
The BBC is to provide political analysis for every schoolchild, in a controversial web venture...The portal will give children the BBC’s analysis of issues such as the European Union Treaty...he new venture, which remains uncosted...
Iain Dale, who publishes an influential political blog, said: “Not all of us want children emerging from the educational system with a BBC-engendered outlook.”
Iain, as always, puts it much more politely than some of us would.

I don't remember signing up for political indoctrination when I paid my license fee. What the hell is the BBC doing sticking their nose into this?
