Young people are growing up to democracy. The trend of carelessness und untruth, sometimes also visible at school, is not conductive to this. That is why it is necessary to teach wise adoption, conscious participa-tion and verification of distortions. An active polemic with manipulation is needed, which requires reliable knowledge from teachers and creating space for student’s activity. Such forms of work as organizing meetings with witnesses of history, cooperation with the press and its systematic, critical learning, enabling various forms of self-education may be useful. The Polish constitution, the broadcasting act, as well as the convention on the rights of the child impose an obligation to protect adolescents against harmful content.
