When Teaching Patriotism Becomes Morally Ambiguous

Institute of Education researchers in Britain have decided that to teach patriotism in schools is wrong.

The Line Is Here has commentary.

A question: Is it truly more enlightened to believe in nothing, than to believe in something?

UK history is full of positives. American history, like any modern nation, is somewhat checkered. I hope we never get to the point where Britan is today. This nation, the United States, has done more good for the world, been more generous to those who have nothing, or who have been ravaged by war, than all the other countries of the world combined. THIS nation was based on "an idea". It is not tribal like most other nations.
