I have not been blessed with progeny so far, but when in due course my line is propagated I am certain that I would not wish my issue to come home full of the same nonsenses, prejudices and half-baked ideas that clog up my own mind. The idea that children should be trained to respect their God, their country and their political 'heritage' seems to me to be repulsive. If you want a system where religious values, patriotism and a respect for law and order are pushed into the young then go and live in Iran or Saudi Arabia.
