5. When speaking the truth becomes objectionable, be very suspicious about those who object.
...
8. The biggest single mistake that we have ever made as a country, a culture, and a people was to turn the education of our young over to the government. Does anyone expect a taxpayer-funded, government-run education system to properly teach the founders' vision of limited government?
9. People who are not taught the value of individual freedom, and its relationship with prosperity, morality, and limited government, will never believe in it and will eventually work to destroy it.

18. Nothing is for free. Someone must pay for its being available.
19. Our freedom and our rights come from God, not from government.

26. Experience has taught us that the cause of world peace would be best served by the dissolving of the United Nations. There is no fixing it.

Before unions protected the incompetent and the indoctrinators, many/most teachers did, pretty much. Now? Well, we homeschooled (starting in the mid 1980s) because we knew problem teachers were protected and that it would take just one or two bad teachers to mess up one or more of our children's education.
