Pushing a Point

While hoax sites are mostly there for entertainment or educational purposes, many other websites that purport to tell the truth are questionable because of the biases of their creators. Most disturbing are a small but virulent group of hate sites disguised as scholarship-examples of which Alan November and Scott Granneman point to in their online article on security issues for schools. These are not the sorts of Web pages you want to take students to without careful thought and planning-if at all-but they are sites you should know about in order to anticipate what can happen when students stumble upon misinformation of the malicious type.
