Most of this sounds great, but he goes off the fascist deep end with two provisions, the one about expanding police power and the one about forcing students to participate in "patriotic activities." When I think of organizations that require participation in patriotic activities the Hitler Youth and the Communist Cadres quickly come to mind. I strongly support patriotic activities, and have no problem with schools offering these activities and encouraging students to attend, but when a person, student or adult, is forced to attend a "patriotic activity" it flies in the face of democratic ideals.

I agree with that. Teach the kids good solid history that allows them to make the right choices when they get older. None of the youth brown shirts needed.
