So let's get the propaganda out of our schools. Instead, let's teach them that democracy is the only reasonable form of government, that capitalism is the most enlightened economic system and that exporting these ideas to countries that don't want them is a moral imperative, that the rest of the world just does not yet understand.

I don't know that teachers are the most reliable source against home schooling...
...Oh, this is a pet peeve of mine...we don't live in a democracy. I honestly don't know why everyone calls it that. We don't - not even by design. We live in a republic - no question about it.
whew, okay.
