i realise that a lot of people feel that education should be one size and shape determined by the state, and so will have no quibble with whatever ideological content the state chooses to introduce into schools.

but for the skeptics amongst us - what do we think of of the idea of 'teaching patriotism' in schools as described in this [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register] ?

personally i'm against the state dictating ideological content full stop - unless it is advertised and alternatives are provided.

but i don't see why teaching kids patriotism is any more unreasonable than teaching the merits of 'diversity' or whatever. the predictable response of lefty teachers is amusing.

thoughts?
