What are they teaching your kids/grandkids?

This hit me hard. The progressive left is sure smacking the kids early with propaganda making the U.S. out to be a bad place.
Hollywood celebrities and education gurus have teamed together to distribute to schools across the country a dramatic new curriculum that casts American history
as an epic march of victims seeking to shrug off the shackles of the warmongering, racist, capitalist, imperialist United States.
Details here.
It’s all about what an awful place this is. Howard Zinn, source of the Zinn Education Project, which is in schools in every state, says,
“We’re dreamers. We want it all. We want a peaceful world. We want an egalitarian world. We dont’ want war. We don’t want capitalism. We want a decent society.”
His vision of a decent society is not what I want for my country – or my grandchildren. Why?
When you socially engineer society, you increase the power of government and limit personal freedoms.
The real down side is someone gets to impose their view of utopia on you through government – whether you want it or not.

I would suggest that good values should be inculcated in the minds of impressionable kids. They should be taught to respect everyone.
