    Ok, I’ll bite. Why shouldn’t children learn about the dangers of communism?

    Are you arguing to give you complete control over all things and THIS time it won’t end up with millions dead?

      Is this “you” in the room with you right now?

      They already teach that. What I can recall from grade school was communism bad, capitalism good. U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

      And let’s not forget how we all learned that the Indians gave land to the Pilgrims and thought them to grow corn, or as the Indians called it, maize. Then they all sat down and had the first Thanksgiving feast!

      That is NOT how it happened. Public schools (aka government schools) have become propaganda factories.

      Not all aspects of communism are bad. We were just taught to believe they are. Just like we were never taught how some aspects of capitalism are bad.
