Teaching Patriotism? Really?

I’m happy to report that during my K-12 years (1960 – 1973), I never heard a teacher mention anything that could be construed as “patriotic.”  For example, we learned U.S. history, but it was not twisted to imply that the United States was “the greatest country on Earth.”

There are strengths to that practice, like honesty and integrity.

It doesn’t produce “woke” graduates; it produces fair-minded young people who can think for themselves.
