How do you "teach" patriotism? Tell kids that their country is the best in the world? Lie about aspects of history to omit pertinent facts which paint said country in a bad light?

Teach them to read, teach them to write, teach them how to do sums, and then for the remaining 8 or 9 years of schooling teach them how to judge and weigh evidence. Everything else is cosmetic.
