Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael, was interviewed and denounced public education as Communist.
“Rafael Cruz, the father of and top campaign surrogate for Sen. Ted Cruz, claimed today that the country’s public school system was founded by “a member of the American Communist Party.”
“The elder Cruz alleged in an interview on the Sirius XM program “Breitbart News Daily” this morning that public schools are brainwashing children into communism as a result of the work of education reformer John Dewey.”
Hmmm. By now, we must all be Communists. John Dewey died in 1952. So many years of indoctrination. If Senior Cruz is right (he is not), Junior Cruz will lose for sure.,

Actually, communist indoctrination didn’t work very well in any of those countries which left the Soviet block, either—none of them are communists now.
I do have to say, though, teachers, kids had more freedom in schools in those countries than they have here now.
