Might not be necessary to have the Department of Defense take over the American Educational system after all. Apparently the little tykes are learning to love their country after all, at least according to Suzanne Fields, who writes;
But even before 9/11, American kids were declaring new attitudes of patriotism. In a survey of 2,911 ninth graders, fully 91 percent said they were proud of the United States; 85 percent they had "great love for the flag." The survey, by the International Association for the Evaluation of International Achievement showed no significant differences in race, sex or family incomes.
So maybe there is hope for the American Education System after all. Ms. Fields does encourage a closer reading, on the part of our youth, of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Federalist Papers.
