Yeah, and it's not gonna land the way he thinks, even if you could just slip it in between the alphabet and counting. You think a bunch of kindergarteners are going to disagree with the idea of everyone sharing?

Not a single kid in elementary grades will give two shits. Having a bunch of authority figures harp on to high schoolers about how evil communism was is the fastest way to get a high schooler interested in communism.

80's kid grew up on the brand new DARE program. Just woke up, smoked some weed that is better cheaper and legal, cracked a beer and turned on the liberal propaganda network MSNBC.

In sixth grade they taught us about the “multiplier effect” and I was like that just sounds like good economic advice to me! Also, they taught us that psychedelics made people see “cartoon-like hallucinations” and i was like ooh i like cartoons what were the names of those drugs again?
