The Boortz quotation is a non-sequitur at best. Parochial schools, whether Catholic or other, and military academies are by definition rigidly authoritarian and demand personal submission of one form or another to that authority. All public education offers a more open forum for free discourse, critical thinking, and challenge to authority. My public school education, in the Midwest, graduating HS in 1967, was a model of such freedom and liberty, as was my public university undergrad & grad setting . Further, the comments of Warren, Olathe in re ACLU are factually wrong.
