“The only difference between “propaganda” and
“education,” really, is in the point of view.
The advocacy of what we believe in is education.
The advocacy of what we don’t believe in is
propaganda. ”

Not quite right. Propaganda is orthogonal to the truth. It may or may not be true, but truth is beside the point. Propaganda is meant to persuade, not educate.
