Once again, Mr. Stossel, you've hit the nail right on the head. I'm appalled (but frankly not surprised) that a state court would have the sheer gall to declare that "A primary purpose of the educational system is to train schoolchildren in good citizenship, patriotism and loyalty to the state . . ." In a dictatorship, it's the job of schools to teach kids loyalty to the state. In a constitutional democracy, the purpose of education is to teach kids to think.
