Is Animal Farm only assigned in public schools so that teachers can falsely present the book's messages in order to indoctrinate their students?

yes, obviously. why did you need 4channel to confirm this for you?
or are you just baiting for "actually, red scare propaganda being forced on children to destroy class consciousness before it can even form, is good" responses?

>>17935119
when discussed in schools, the message of the book is presented as anti-communist with no nuance, when it was a critique of authoritarian tendencies within the communist movement. orwell himself was a socialist.

My teacher presented it as criticizing fascism and nazis
I don't know where he got that from

Yeah it's part of the "thank god we aren't nazis or commies am I right students" end of history demoralization.

Well, I'm not American. Fix your own shit. I was taught that Animal Farm was an allegorical retelling of the Russian Revolution from 1917.

No. The book is explicitly anti-communist. You don’t need to read in between the lines to see that.

This. Orwell literally went to spain to kill fascists. He fantasized about murdering Hitler himself. The school system is garbage.
