What about...
"Independence of mind requires getting really really over that sustained authority."
That's actually a valid thought. Like how teaching open-mindedness seems to close it. Bringing up Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a great add because trying to teach independent thinking gives you nothing but Zarathustra's apes.
You actually see it with the "goth" kids.

It backfires and every one gets in an "unholier than thou" contest of who does against the grain the right way.
Yet the most independent thinkers are like the escaped LDS kids or defectors of overbearing Irish or Italian Catholics. Who gain free thought via nuns and shame.
