you're completely deranged. socialism/communism is barely mentioned at all in the public school system, and never in a positive light. the genocide of native americans was not discussed outside of a cursory mention of the Trail of Tears. watching 'Roots' was about the depth of instruction on slavery. I never heard a single critical word about the US from any teacher, and I was in the public school system all the way through college. I never even had to read Howard Zinn, the classic conservative boogeyman, a single time for any class.
