There is a sense of propaganda in our schools education system. Obviously you can't propagandize subjects such as math, but you certainly can with English and History (especially History). Personally when I look back at my high school history classes it is easy to realize that with the exception of slavery and the civil rights movement, rarely if ever is the U.S. put in a bad spotlight. I didn't learn about things such as the Gulf of Tonkin at my school, I had to learn those things on my own.
And you don't have to hate the government to look at a whole classroom of children mindlessly repeating the pledge of allegiance (does a 9 year old really understand what allegiance is?) every day and be able to spot indoctrination.
Don't get me wrong, I am ultimately in favor of public education but the system we have in place now is what causes blind patriotism and nationalism.
