My eighth grade class read The Jungle. We also read Sherlock Holmes stories, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Lord of the Flies. Such evil trash ...
Is there no "quality control"? Unbelievable.

I'm with you. Sounds like a very good teacher. Thank goodness there are still teachers around who teach literature. Kids may not appreciate right now, but they will.

Red is also associated with Republican party.. I guess that's the party of communism?

Joking

Apparently, Mr. Bridwell was drawing a little girl with a big dog as a concept one night. He just so happens that there was bottle of red paint within reach. He wanted to name the dog Tiny but his wife thought it was too obvious.... but she liked the color red. Later the dog was named Clifford. I believe he swung back and forth politically but wasn't really involved. Just did a quick search and he claimed to be independent.

Sometimes the obvious is the truth.... Red has many meanings. I always think strawberries because I love eating them.

With regards to this I can't resist another quote:

"Everybody has a right to be stupid, but some people abuse the privilege." J.V>STALIN.

Binary people have little grasp of nuance. This record player is broken so you will not get anywhere.

You have made an excellent point that will be ignored because it is true.

Response: I agree.
The problem is we have instructors that promote indoctrination rather than instruction.

Again, complete nonsense. Capitalism does NOT require atrocities to implement, not at all.

Unfortunately no country in the history of human has been purely capitalist. The vast majority of the countries have slavery but a few add a little flavor of capitalism. USA was established with the most amount of capitalism but still long way from it.

On the other hand, communism and socialism must require atrocities to implement every policy without exception.

As I asked before, feel free to name one exception.
