    In case people aren’t aware, the Victims of Communism foundation is a US government organization that was set up by an act of congress in 1993.

    Congress also passed a bill funding them to design highschool curriculum, called the “crucial communism teaching act”.

      Just reminded me of a history teacher who, when teaching the Containment policy, showed us a jar with a slip of paper contained within, which read “COMMUNISM”. Displayed prominently in the classroom thereafter.

      Didn’t work on me. When my assigned seat changed such that the jar and I were out of view of the teacher while at the board, I popped the lid off in front of everyone.
