You're right in that I'm very attuned to seeing the pushing of political ideology into kids. I wasn't really having an emotional response, but more of noticing this in the book and thought it would make a good discussion point. I am a bit torn on it, but that's mostly from being calloused from seeing the garbage ideology being pushed in our own schools. The fact of the matter is if they were to teach good ideology in schools today, I'd most likely celebrate it.

Your many points regarding correct opinions did make me think of Yuri Bezmenov and his talks/writings on Soviet subversion. The "medicine" he suggests for this is essentially "correct" subversion. Subversion of truth. I don't think he says it directly, but essentially is speaking to the necessity to teach good ideology as a shield against the bad.
