Propaganda is more a part of twenty-first century life than ever. Children are every bit as influenced by it as the adults around them.

Through schoolyard games and rhymes schoolchildren show that they are cognizant of all the propaganda they are handed. Their lore reflects both an acceptance of some propaganda ideas, and a cleverly framed rejection of others.
