I disagree with you, and you can see why in my other posts, but in short I think that rather than the class changing the schools the schools would corrupt the class.
I don't think the class is going to change the schools, but it certainly would add considerable counter-weight. As I said before, ain't no way some leftist schmuck will be tasked with arming the youths. They'd probably have it taught by a whole phalanx of lawyers and certified experts. In any event, it would surely put more stress in a crumbling system.
