Pupils Given 'Patriotism' Tests in Washington State Schools

[jjw1965]

Children in Washington State are being given 'Patriotism tests' which are completely unrelated to their studies. The paper gauges whether or not the student shows fealty to the power of the state and whether the student believes in the right to overthrow a corrupt government.

How can they do that to children. That is disqusting, it was kind of like during the second world war, to create patriotism in the schoolyards in America and Canada, they created hostile animosity, between Japanese, German and British-background children. Or how they instilled patriotism into children so they would volunteer for the war effort.

If anyone wants to read more, take out the article, Daddy's gone to war by a Historian named Tuttle.
