Personally I have always held the belief that a return to "civics leasons" should be re-examined - instead of being told of what the symbols mean; and what sacrifices are represented by those symbols - students should be allowed a more personal experience...

Oh, an OxyMoron as it were.
But if Morality is forsaken, then what is left!
ACLU!
