They take impressionable young minds, softened by overexposure to crap on TV and the Internet and turn them into the kind of mental zombies who fall for Elmer Gantry like characters such as the lying phony in the Oval Office.
If they were properly exposed to history - WHERE America came from, what the rest of the world is REALLY like, how UNIQUE and FRAGILE the freedoms they take for granted every day REALLY are, they might be more skeptical of clowns like him.
Just a few weeks ago I was at the University of Washington campus for my daughter's field trip. It was a sunny day and there were booths set up outside of the student union building. One of them was the Communist Party and the kids were passing out red/orange striped ribbons for people to wear, saying they were to "honor the soldiers killed in war". When I saw it was Communists passing them out, I loudly asked if they were honoring Communist soldiers. The kid smirked and just turned to someone else to pass out his ribbons. They were passing them out acting like they were honoring Americans, but in reality they were celebrating and promoting Communism.
These students were celebrating Communism without even the slightest knowledge of what Communism has done to this world and how many people it has killed........
