US Congress Revives Cold War Tactics With New Anti-Communism School Curriculum

Coming back to the old days of McCarthyism
———————————————————————————————

Congress has just passed a bill that will see the U.S. spend huge sums of money redesigning much of the public school system around the ideology of anti-communism.

The “Crucial Communism Teaching Act” is now being read in the Senate, where it is all but certain to pass. The move comes amid growing public anger at the economic system and increased public support for socialism.

The Crucial Communism Teaching Act, in its own words, is designed to teach children that

“certain political ideologies, including communism and totalitarianism … conflict with the principles of freedom and democracy that are essential to the founding of the United States.”

Although sponsored by Republicans, it enjoys widespread support from Democrats and is focused on China, Venezuela, Cuba and other targets of U.S. empire. The wording of the bill has many worried that this will be a centerpiece of a new era of anti-communist hysteria, similar to previous McCarthyist periods.

During the Cold War period in some third world countries controlled by the USA, reading or carrying a book written by Karl Marx, or Federick Engels, or any soviet leader was a capital sin, or a crime. and many peoples were incarcerated . That was the exportation of Freedom and Democracy.

It is only a right wing hysteria, there are not any communists books at the US public schools, nobody is teaching about the collected works of Marx and Engels, even more, millions of peoples have not read one preface of the Communist Manifesto.
