It's amazing to me the government views that are portrayed in schools.  "God did not choose the King.  He did so! It's written on the first page of our schoolbook" (Satrapi 19).  Here, Marjane is telling her father what she has learned through school.  Her father insists that she finally know the truth, as he sees it.  If he had not been concerned with his daughter he would not have told her.  I think that it is important to know what our children are learning in school.  If we do not concern ourselves with our children education we will never know what they are being taught and if it is something that we believe in personally.  This was a good chance for Marjane to know her families history.
