Last comment was made on like no sleep, so here's my better comment. I'd just like to point out, I'm not sure I agree with you on the morality of "pushing political beliefs on [one's] impressionable children".

Parents are of course supposed to teach their children right and wrong, but I don't think that politics needs to be a part of it.
