When I was in high school in Florida in the 1970’s, they called it simply “Americanism vs Communism”. No bones about it, the curriculum taught that the American Way of Life was good and Communism was bad.
We didn’t have conservative commentators or shelves of conservative books to read, so we read and discussed what the communists themselves had to say and then we looked at what they actually did.
The funny thing is that the “liberal teachers” of the time did not push back the slightest bit. They were all 1960’s hippies, but they knew that only in America could they have actually effected change as they did without dying by the millions in prisons and work camps.
Today’s Progressives do not understand that simple truth.
Brilliant point.
Almost all left learners don’t understand constitutional conservative thought, Western thought. In their haste to call us judgmental racists, they forget that the freedoms we believe in for the individuals are good for hippies, punks, druggies, wiccans, everyone. We want everyone to have freedom and to conduct themselves according to decency and their own lifestyles. Explore and share their own ideas. EVERYONE. Not just us. We actually don’t want everyone to be white and Christian. They are very feeble minded.
