Anti communist brainwashing? Are the schools, universities, and media in the States not liberal enough for your tastes?

Are these the same schools that not even a decade ago were humoring intelligent design and climate change denial?

Not sure what schools you're referring to but that wasn't a thing when I was in school 15 years ago..

Forcing kids to say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning isn't very liberal though.

I didn't have to say the pledge or stand for it although there was social pressure, most students would.

I'm European, so can't comment on your schools - but I can definitely comment on what I'm reading on every single thread no matter if here on HN, or Reddit, or Twitter, or Facebook... and that is people crying "socialism" for everything.

Liberals are center left at best, and that's people like AOC and Bernie Sanders.

The overton window in the USA has shifted so far right it's almost falling off the house.
