Too many young people don't remember...I work with some kids born in the mid and late 80s. Never knew Reagan, and everything they've ever been taught about Carter is that he is a great guy.
Raised w/ 3 minute MTV attention spans, getting them to think through an issue instead of FEELING is a challenge. (Indeed that has always been the challenge when working with libs.)

Unfortunately, its far worse than that. We also have William Ayers project to influence teachers through seminars to find ways to inject "social justice" into the classroom, even in an Algebra class. "social justice" is what they want to call socialism... everything is about "branding" these days. This has been going on for decades. So it is no wonder, as Phyllis Schlafly wrote a few months ago, that even evangelical young adults voted for Obama citing "social justice" as the reason.
This is why I have been trying to push an educational project with conservative PACs, RNC, etc, but to no avail. I can find no takers. Such a program doesn't have any "fireworks" so it is not interesting, but this would work very very effectively to cure the problem by innoculating our youth from this socialist garbage with fun, interesting, and educational games and dvds.
So I may have to do this myself. I have just about convinced myself to setup a 501c, and try to raise funds to develop and market these materials. I also want well designed radio spots that are easy on the ear, but are thought provoking and remind us about why a Constitutional Republic is the best form of government in the world, far better than Communism.
Sorry about the long post :)
