I just found this:

Students can search human rights violations by topic and by country:

http://www.amnesty.org/en/human-rights

They can then go into the Opposing Viewpoints database and search for articles on the topic.

Amnesty International also has its own library here:

http://www.amnesty.org/en/library

Debbie Gottsleben also wrote and suggested that students can go to http://procon.org

The new power is not money in the hands of a few, but information in the hands of the many. - John Naisbitt, Megatrends

The Internet may be the world's greatest library, but let's face it - all the books are scattered on the floor. - D.C. Denison, Boston Globe

Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. - Mitchell Kapor

To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction ... The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. - Martin Luther King, Jr. The Purpose of Education
