Still, it does pose the question about how much unanimity there has to be around a political viewpoint--or figure--before it is acceptable to "indoctrinate" our grade school children with the typically broad generalizations that are appropriate for that age? Would you like to see schools stop with nice lessons about Lincoln and Martin Luther King?

The molesting thing is sadly true. AZ seems to have those cases all the time.

However, the reason that I posted that video is that I was pretty much mocked by many here for even suggesting that there could be political indoctrination taking place in the public education system.
