Bill Owens: "I don't feel that Richie playing with guns will have a negative effect on his personality. (He already wants to be a policeman). His childhood gun-playing won't make him into a cop-shooter. By playing with guns he learns to socialize with other children." From Suburbia, 1972, gelatin silver print, 10 in. x 8 in., Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, gift of Katherine D. and Stephen C. Sherrill.

In the small town of Herriman, Utah, children as young as six learn the Declaration of Independence by putting it to song. Over a few hot summer days, they will learn all about “Americanism,” a blend of patriotism and history that casually mixes in some of the basic tenets of libertarianism. At one point, they’ll pretend to overturn a boat full of tea into Boston Harbor. Over 900 students attend “Utah Patriot Camp” annually. Herriman, Utah. © Sarah Blesener
