...deal was cast publicly as a "merger of equals" because neither Eaton nor Schrempp wanted to use the word acquisition. Schrempp feared it would touch off a xenophobic outcry in Washington.

...blocks of character--universally accepted values bleached of any sectarian contamination. And they are transmitted by the familiar methods beloved of today's pedagogues: posters and banners, role playing and sharing, multi-culti storytelling and words of the week--all the cheerful paraphernalia that makes the modern American classroom seem like a Maoist re-education camp run by Barney the dinosaur...

But to assert a link between nonconformity and murderous tendencies is extremely irresponsible. Are we telling children they must all be alike?
