I think doing that should be labeled child abuse and treated

people to dangerous ideas until they're old enough to handle the

But then, who teaches the history classes?

Anyone can, as the tykes are only exposed to the "official"
pre-sanitized, stress-free versions of history. People shouldn't be
exposed to books such as Philbrick's "Mayflower" until they've
reached voting age, at which point their critical thinking faculties
will have atrophied sufficiently to render the truth harmless. Then
they'll be able to choose who they want to follow without
endangering society, be it der Shrub, Xenu or Lizard People.
