Platonic Boogie in the USA

"So if we stick to our original plan, which was that our guardians should be released from all other occupations, and be the true architects of freedom for our city, and that everything they do must contribute to this end, it is essential that they do not do or imitate anything else. If they do imitate anything, then from their earliest childhood they should choose appropriate models to imitate—people who are brave, self-disciplined, god-fearing, free, that sort of thing." (394c)
