Mr Harsey,
While I agree that an anti-military education is unhealthy for society and that education should be taught without bias (if possible), I think that allowing students and teachers to participate in rallies of ANY kind might have a positive effect by exposing students to their rights as a citizen of this great country.
To a certain degree, I feel that anti-WAR rallies are not all-in-all a bad thing (I can explain this if necessary), but it would not make sense for the school to support only anti-war rallies and not other kinds- like those in support of our men and women fighting overseas.

I otherwise completely agree with you.

They want to take responsibility for WHAT your children think, not teaching how to think for themselves.
The above, I feel, is especially dangerous. That such indoctrination is a hallmark of totalitarian governments (USSR, to name one) is an indication of the severe ramifications this approach can have.

My .02,

Solid
