ADVOCACY OF A POSITION:
Advocacy of a particular position or viewpoint may
be educational IF there is a sufficiently full and fair exposition of
PERTINENT facts to PERMIT an individual or the public to form AN INDEPENDENT opinion or conclusion.
The mere presentation of unsupported opinion is NOT
educational.
1. The Director posts to the alt.support.breast-implant newsgroup a) The ‘education’ offered is biased and allows only
one conclusion. b) The method used is inflammatory, disparaging
communication, and
reflects emotional, subjective evaluations of data.
c) Expressions of differing points of view from others are met with
hostility. 2. Is the Humantics Foundation providing ‘educational,
health issue’ service
with its multi-focus' on political and other issues?
