It's funny really how Americans keep yakking about freedom of speech and freedom of thought, when some at least would like to put people in jail for not being Christian (Jewish is okay, other religions less so), militaristic and unquestioning in their support of a certain view of the "American Way". Proper education which teaches critical thought is the ultimate antidote to that sort of world-view, and that's why they're attempting to subvert education to their own ends. Seen from Europe it's scary. Nehemiah Scudder can't be far away.
