No, but promoting it should be.
If it's taught, it should be accompanied with its criticisms.
Yeah, there's a difference between teaching it, and teaching about its evils. But that should certainly be made abundantly clear. Promoting is a much better term but it would allow for passive presentation of the ideology which I believe to be intolerable.
Yeah. I'm against banning the teaching of communism simply because it drives these fuckers underground where they fester.
I also, if it isn't taught, it could be forgotten only to be "picked up" later by someone else. A history repeating itself kinda thing. I think it should definitely be taught as form of Scared Straight. Outline the mechanics of communism while illustrating it's fatal flaws.
Sure. See the other comments too. I should have worded it more as punishing promotion of the ideology or teaching it without warning of its evils.
