A QUICK, SOMEWHAT silly story:
In class the other day my 2nde's (think sophomores) were debating the issue of Iran's nuclear energy program. As part of the exercise, each student was representing a different country in a UN-style debate. Each student made a name card that identified their country and put it up on the desk in front of them so it would be clear who they were representing. The student representing Britain wrote 'Great Britain' on their card; the French representative wrote 'France', the US rep wrote 'United States', and so on. As I scanned the other cards, I noticed the card in front of the student representing Iran. On the card the word Iran was clearly written. However, instead of an 'a' the student had a large, red, heart -- like this:
IR♥N!

Propaganda is alive and well in my 2nde class.
