Nguirado, I really don't think it's a matter of choosing one over the other. It's not like it's black and white, though that seems to be how you want to paint it.

There is all manner of grey. Education should have as little as possible bias, slant, politics or religion in it. It should provide the known facts as best as possible, it should encourage thought, asking questions and learning how to learn, how to get to the truth of any topic. That is my thought on the matter. It should be bias free which is that is meant by the term 'liberal education.'
