You'll find a certain amount of American Heritage dance among International folk dancers, and you probably could sell contra dancers on a certain amount of this, but I think that our children in phys-ed classes would be turned off completely. Have you forgotten how much peer pressure you were under when YOU were a phys-ed pupil?
Actually, the effort to teach patriotism, instead of earning it, has reached a ridiculous frenzy. Without question, any soldier in ANY country would have reacted the same way that Phillip Nolin did in "The Man Without a Country"; the story originally was written as part of a political campaign; and the only lesson that story taught me was not to expect a sequitur response to any grievance or upset voiced to any of my mentors.
