    Outstanding! All should take notice. Remember...Values are not taken away, they are given up by those who allow it to happen.

    "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed that I have sown will never be uprooted."

    Thus compulsory education by the state. Tell me the prevailing sentiments of the young, and I will tell you the curriculum of the state.

    Collectivism is the creed of state education breeding dependence, irresponsibility, servitude, authoritarianism and envy. Blame, blame, blame. Do Americans even want to produce anything anymore?
