the text will most likely be obvious propaganda garbage. Not always (i got lucky and got sth about ecology), but usually yes

now, technically you are allowed to disagree with the text

but ofc in practice everybody knows that if you do that, they will fail you

I've also got my own story about a practicum supervisor who failed me for lodging a complaint about his behaviour towards students and me when I was doing my teaching degree. Which also means I have a story about a university who allowed it despite the complaint that was lodged.
