I share your concerns Richard and speak to my thirteen year old son regularly on the issues of gross inequity in our society. Unless this is taught in our schools and children are educated to be discerning about propaganda and ideology and the economic alternatives that exist, things will not go well. If teachers themselves are falling victim to the lies, guff of a grossly dumbed down political class then we are in trouble.

Surely your wife would be able to allay your fears in that area?
