Peer Group -> During adolescence, kids spend more time with their friends than with any other group of people. If different, unpopular, or deviant ideas aren't voiced or when they are they are shunned, kids learn that deviant ideas are dangerous.

Family -> It all comes back to the family. While watching the news, identifying propaganda and other ideas which hurt the effectiveness of your Constitution is central to the Socialization process.
As husband to a teacher, I know that your order is wrong.

Learning, ALL learning, starts with the PARENTS.

The kids who's parents care, learn well from my wife, but moving heaven and hell cannot make the kids learn whose parents don't care.
