When I was a kid, just slightly post-Pleistocene, I was told how the children were the responsibility of the state in # Russia. All children attended state-run schools and all children wore the same uniform: shorts, white shirts and red scarves. I believe they were called “Young Pioneers”. This organization still exists in Cuba. There’s something about the image of children driven into queues and herded into politicized activities publicizing a bunch of control freaks’ dogma. This is what’s happening in America. In # Russia and Cuba it’s called the Young Pioneer Program; in America we call it Common Core.
