We're going to find the answer when schools once again train citizens. Schools exist in America and have always existed to train responsible citizens of the United States of America

especially given the context of this speech, I have major issue with the excerpt above. I see this as nothing more than an advocation of a government sponsored and taught 'programming' of future subjects.
The schools, nor government, exist to 'train' me or my kids. That was my parents job, it is my job. Schools exist to educate our children in subjects like reading, writing, and arithmetic.
As to answer your last question jinn, no. Freedom is most certainly not free, but it's not bought with ceding freedom to authority, it's bought with constant vigilance against the encroachment from authority.
