"Teach Your Children" is a song by Graham Nash from the album Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young released in 1970. It quickly became a counterculture anthem.[citation needed] Written about Nash's difficult relationship with his father[citation needed], it features Jerry Garcia on pedal steel guitar.

"Teach Your Children" was used in a 1970's public service message on television highlighting the negative aspect of nuclear testing and proliferation. The clip portrayed multiple nuclear explosions carried out by the United States.[citation needed]
