I agree that in Public education, Marx and his ideas are often criticized and made out to be evil or completely ignored. As far as my own education, I remember his name being mentioned and that he had connections to communism and then he was never mentioned again. I never had to read any of his writings or look closely at his theories.

I also agree that when it comes to education, our society tends to be very gullible. We listen, without doubt, to our teachers, friends, family, or even television, to information and never think twice to question it. We absorb information like it is the absolute truth. When it comes to international dealings, this mindset sets people, and the country, up for humiliation. We can come off as ignorant and extremely biased.
