Pete Seeger sings Tom Paxton's song live on the "Tonight In Person" Show (1964).
Here's some of the "best" lyrics:
I learned that Washington never told a lie.
I learned that soldiers seldom die.
I learned that everybody's free.
And that's what the teacher said to me.
That's what I learned in school today.
That's what I learned in school.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Another one of Tom Paxton's songs. This one is a protest song, sort of sarcasm directed at the nationalistic propaganda inherent in most educational sytems9 years ago

Written 50 years ago and it's every bit as relevant today. The more things "change" the more they stay the same.9 years ago

Pete you were just not an Ambassador of truth and goodness - you talked it, walked it, and felt it - just look at his expression at the end of this song - it says it all 1:42 - specifically that he wishes things were not as they are.9 years ago

“Bugün okulda ne öğrendin, benim sevgili oğlum?Washington’un hiç yalan söylemediğini öğrendim.Askerlerin nadiren öldüğünü öğrendim.Herkesin özgür olduğunu öğrendim.Polislerin benim arkadaşım olduğunu öğrendim.Adaletin asla bitmeyeceğini öğrendim.Devletin güçlü olması gerektiğini,Devletin her zaman haklı olduğunu, asla haksız olmadığını,Liderlerimizin en iyi insanlar olduğunu,Bizim onları tekrar ve tekrar seçtiğimizi öğrendim.”10 years ago
