Dear g-d, we have here a product of the American education system. There are
thousands of choices available to us besides dictatorship and democracy.
Democracy is a disgusting system wherein the majority rules. Democracy will
always result in a communist economic system. This is its nature because a
majority of people will always covet something a minority has. This is NOT
the way a child's education should be determined. IT CAN NOT BE. The parents
of a child must make that decision.

You are advocating the Hillary Clinton school of thought. Who cares what the
parents think or believe in? The child should be taught what the majority
believes and do what the majority feels is correct and if the parents don't
agree, the child should be taken away from them, or should sue them.
Democratic governments are bad enough, but a democratic education is a
heinous violation of personal freedom.
