How is teaching a child politics any different than teaching them religion?

Without speaking in too much depth - and I hope I don't seem like I'm being overly simplistic - politics involves understanding a bit more complicated topics than does religion. Understanding economics/foreign policy/health care/etc. involves an understanding of many things as well as some experience - teaching one to love thy neighbor is a little less academic (thus more suited for youth?).

one teaches you how to lie and the other teaches you how to believe lies.

"With the nation?s libraries and classrooms filled with overtly liberal children?s books advocating everything from gay marriage to marijuana use"

do i need to ask what they were smoking when that was written?

There is no doubt in my mind that it's real. You're not familiar with worldnetdaily.com, I take it?

I think one of their other books is
"Help, there is a gay couple living next door"

I think a more appropriate title is "help there are republicans in the closet"

At that age, you can't teach kids anything about politics - all you can do is brainwash them.

Unfortunately most of what we learn would be considered brainwashing.
