I have a problem with anyone saying that it's wrong to teach your kids conservatism. I'm hardly a conservative (who the hell let bush into the whitehouse? I really need to hug a tree), but I would not ever hold it against someone who teaches their kids what they truly believe is right, as long as it's not hate. Classifying conservatism as hate would not only be a stereotype, but an outright lie. People who have knee-jerk reactions to teaching your kids your beliefs are just funny. Would you not teach your kids your religion? Or try to get your kids to play your sport? Perhaps even study the same field as you? People love to have kids in their own image.

Granted, trying to force them into something is probably wrong, but simply reading a book to them is just fine with me. Of course, if I ever had a kid and tried to teach them conservatism, or liberalism, or whatever, they'd just pick the opposite when they became a rebelious teenager anyway.
