How to educate people to accept democracy

Continuing from Kai Wen's point about people looking at the education about democracy as 'brainwashing' and limiting freedom.

I feel that the first step to educating people to accept democracy is to teach them to be open-minded. If people are open-minded, they are more likely to accept the democracy education.

About the problems of people who insist that the instilling the values of democracy undermines the freedom of the people, I feel that if people are educated to be open-minded, they should be able to accept the teachings of democracy. Anyway, if we thoroughly 'brainwash' the people, they should accept the what is taught to them right?
