Taught to hate America?

We hear many stories about how Muslim children are taught to hate America in their schools and mosques. There is never mention of our own public schools. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were not great men who accomplished extraordinary things. They were sexist, racist slaveowners. We teach our children to dislike America and when they grow up they are easily converted by those who want to destroy our country and way of life.
