I wouldn't advocate a similar neutral approach to racism and certain other aspects of life but then that's because I view them as fundamentally important for a kid to be educated in those particular concepts but not in others that I believe to be hogwash.

you view them that way. as others do patriotism. this is the problem with the state setting the agenda and giving you no choice.

possibly.
i think the best solution would be to minimise the role of the state. if the state is asked to be the provider of education we can hardly blame it for promoting patriotism, given that the state depends on it.
