The House passing a bill is not the same thing as the US passing a bill. School House Rock
Weird how nobody is teaching the dangers of capitalism.
If the rich and powerful want this, then what does this yell us, plebs.
It's right up there with creationism and intelligent design..
- Communism? Can you elaborate?
  
  Indoctrination
Do they also get taught what communism actually is?
- They usually correctly point to the USSR, Cuba, PRC, Vietnam, Laos, etc. as actual implementations of Socialism, but lie, exaggerate, and omit key details, and conflate Communism with (insert scary buzzword here). It's a rational target (for their interests, at least) using irrational methods, something Michael Parenti illuminates on in Blackshirts and Reds.
  
  This is way too nuanced to actually be what is taught in American public schools. I know it certainly wasn't what I was taught.
Everyone who died under communism also died under capitalism because communism resides within a larger capitalism.
Checkmate atheists.
- What are you talking about?
  
  Humans
  
  World system theory
