I was extremely fortunate to have an 8th grade American History teacher who explained to the class the difference between a Constitutional Republic and Communism. The teacher at the beginning of the class told this one girl to behave. The girl student muttered that the class was like communism, which got the history teacher extremely upset. For the next 10 to 15 minutes, she explained the differences, benefits, and drawbacks of the two systems. I wonder if we have teachers like that today.

They do exist, but they are rarities who manage to slip through the cracks..

Lose their jobs 5 minutes later if they tried the stunt of devaluing Communism in a PUBLIC SCHOOL. Sure, support cutting off the dicks of little boys, but NEVER say something bad about Communism.

(but what the hell, Public Schools are FREE!!!, right?)

I wonder how many (especially the girl) actually paid attention.

There are grown-ass adults walking around who will tell you the Democrats fought against slavery and the Republicans were the Confederates. When confronted with indisputable proof, they pivot their argument and claim “the parties switched.”
