    It would be funny if this backfired, given that public education rarely even mentions communism. Bringing it to light, even in a negative and factually incorrect way could cause students to actually do some research and educate themselves.

      That’s literally what has been happening in American public schools already for almost a century now.

      Maybe we can discuss under exactly what banner slavery and segregation were pursued under, and whether criminals really deserve that much credit for someone else forcing them to stop criming.

      “and here we see one of the dangers of being communist”

    Who wants to be this school instruction will not differentiate between communism and socialism and will also say that it necessarily means dictatorship?

      They certainly won’t say, “Running a communist country is the fastest way to get assassinated by the freedom police”

    Alabama and Mississippi have a hell of a lead on you for bad education, but I admire your commitment, Florida.

      Well, knowing Florida, the “communists” will be people who think the government should do things besides arrest black people and stone women.
