The libs are afraid of this kind of thing because it is in the public schools that they have had their most success. Children are naturally idealistic so the left takes adavantage of their ignorance. This is great, conservatives need to offer counterpoints to the leftist agenda. I routinely explain high taxes to my children as being no different than a schoolground bully taking your money to buy him and his friends candy and that true charity involves having the choice to say yes or no to a request not just taking something because it is for a "good cause".

"Children are naturally idealistic so the left takes adavantage of their ignorance."

What's more, children are naturally at a stage in life where having someone of something (a village maybe?) make all "bad things" go away.

Enter the liberal machine, trumpets blaring...

I have not found this to be true.
IMHO, children are naturally self-centered, and idealism is a thing that is taught, primarily by parental example.
I also do not consider liberals as "idealistic".
Liberals are merely "ignorant" only if one generously assumes they have actually progressed beyond normal childish self-centeredness.
