The only good side I can see is that kids today have Libraries and the Internet and hopefully will learn to think for themselves like we did.

I agree, but with a new twist. I also went to public schools in the States and was subjected to some of this. But isn't this the same thing we (North Americans) criticized of Communist countries?
