Butterflies and rainbows. Puppy dogs, cotton candy, sunshine, and lollipops. Happy little birds chirping in a cool meadow. That’s what students are taught about socialism.
They’ve been taught that for a long time. I remember an article discussing how the history of the cold war was taught in high school 20 years ago. The Soviets were presented as not an enemy but simply an opposition to the US (which in every other history lesson was presented as an evil entity). Polling indicated that this was exactly how high school students of that time thought of the US.
