Communist countries are far more rigid in their teaching practices, anyone who goes against the "government-approved" curriculum doesn't have a job for long and is likely to be "questioned" about their "subversive" activities in the classroom.

One of the few American politicians that admitted his wrongs and humbled himself before the country. I will always have great respect for the man on this count.

Far worse damage has been done by many elected officials, and were never called out on it.
