Johanna, education doesn't only come from books or in a classroom setting.
Some kids with a Mexican flag & a kid with an American flag want to mix it
up over which is best,greater, whatever. A good teacher could take this
situation to sit them all down and explain the "idea" of AMERICA as a land of
all nationalities joining together as one nation, etc,etc.

We can all be justifiably proud of our family origins, but we are first citizens
of one country. Don't they teach History in schools anymore?
