Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Bastiat were taught in school? This is how people ought to see the world.

In talking to students, I find they know nothing of our founding fathers other than they owned slaves. They never heard of Bastiat, they cannot identify our second president, they cannot explain the reason for the Declaration of Independence.

This is why Obama is so popular; because of their lack of education his people do not understand the economic and social dangers that he poses. They see profit from legal plunder and care not for its consequences.

Back to your point, any education should carry these materials; otherwise it’s not an education, it is an indoctrination.

Taught in the original French so that we would have little difficulty shoving it down their Euro-socialist throats!

His little work on the ‘Law’ is a masterpiece for limited Government along Christian principles.
