Massachusetts has had a large socialist grade school system for almost 200 years.
There are socialist K-12 school systems in every US state.
“[Horace] Mann persuaded his fellow modernizers, especially those in the Whig Party, to legislate tax-supported elementary public education in their states and to feminize the teaching force. Most northern states adopted one version or another of the system he established in Massachusetts, especially the program for “normal schools” to train professional teachers.”
