In Benjamin Barber’s text, The Educated Student, one controversial issue has been advertisements in the classroom. On page 25 Barber introduces a program named Channel One. Channel One goes into less fortunate high schools and lends them technology like computers, televisions, and satellite dishes. The rules Channel One lays out are simple. Each day, the teachers must have all the students watch a video. The first three minutes are advertisements. The main goal of Channel One is to sell their advertisements to the students and in return the school will get equipment.
On the one hand, Barber gives an example how if Channel One would show messages about God or a state government party, parents would argue that their children should not be exposed
