Well, I certainly don't believe that. ;-)

But I in fact think that the schools in ST were in fact less dogmatic
than the public schools in America. If only there were a single course
that were required here... Instead, the students are immersed in
collectivist, politically correct nonsense all day, and aren't learning
the basics.


I see. You think that the schools in Starship Troopers keep their
societies ideology strictly in one class and it doesn't influence how
they teach history or literature at all?

It probably does. In what fantasy nation (libertarian or otherwise) do
you suppose that some "objective" version of history and literature is
taught?
