This description of the liberalization of this Hungarian public school serves as a potent reminder of how far political and military events can drive how children are taught the basics. It’s particularly jarring as we watch the opposite trend gather steam here in our local Pennsylvania public school system where “charter schools” acquire an ever more conservative, evangelical, christian philosophy and suck huge amounts of public tax money out of the main stream public schools even as they exempt themselves from any of the accountability the main stream schools are held to.

Agreed . Also concerning are the increasing book bans etc that we see in public schools in certain states.
Very interesting. I always assumed that Opapa's school was a public, not private school ... have you been able to figure out if that is true?
They had to pay tuition to go to the school. It lists Opapa as being in "Tuition fee category – II."
