I sort of agree with this, but I just have to advise you that, based on my experience in the classroom, 6th graders are not ready for that complex discussion. In fact, they're not even close to ready. It would be like throwing mathematical physics at them.
What? My son's 2nd grade class does comparable analysis and critical thinking exercises every week. Now, their observations are arguments aren't what you would expect from a child in high school but the importance is on learning the process.

No, I'm sorry. 6th graders are not ready to have a fruitful discussion of the similarities/differences of George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler and how that applies to philosophy of government.
Do you think they even know what the Patriot Act is? Let alone be able to discuss it and it's implications for society and government?
I believe the first person who replied to me was correct. The only thing that is going to happen in that discussion is that the teacher's beliefs and opinions are going to be forced (intentionally or unintentionally) on the students.
