Whither the PSA?

Was the planning of the campaign against Government education policy as a 'fight-back' due to our PSA friends? (whose enthusiasm does not seem to be balanced by either perceptive political analysis or by responsible political action.) Such a 'fightback' campaign eventually polarizes the issue in a way that does not encourage informed dialogue.

If there are those amongst us who wish to debate the issue on the basis of a Marxist analysis let them say so and we will happily reason together on those grounds. Are we really going to have a more informed public (and that is surely what we need in a democracy) if the issue is presented as a fightback or class struggle? It would be wise for those members of the PSA to reflect on their actions in the fields of journalism and political activity that have lead to a polarization of the issues to such a degree that it can only count against responsible student representation at government level in the future.
