I think it's a well known fact that neocon beliefs can be found in most school textbooks even when the majority of the nation has been a Democratic one. I am 95% positive that liberal values aren't taught to most people until they get to college regardless of the majority.

My history teacher told us a lot o U.S. history that wasn't in the textbook. And she claimed she had to sign a document that said she had to teach things that would put the american history in good light.

Can any history teachers in here confirm anything like that??

But also Noam Chomsky said:

"Starting with kindergarten and first grade, the main requirement is that you do what you're told."

I think its all a part of control.

Until I went to college I thought 'political ideology' was just fancy talk for saying 'capitalism'.

And then I learned me some truth; they were hammering my young malleable brain into the shape of the White House.

At a young age they try to make you patriotic and an obedient citizen. So I see how you would think that. They really need to teach people what political ideology means at a young age and not just teach people about ideologies but also teach people about how they can think with politics when they're young. They shouldn't cram opinions from the Whitehouse down your throat.
