    I live in Texas, and we focused on the glories of “free-market” “laissez faire” capitalism in our American history class.

    Not a word about things like the Triangle Shirtwaist fire or the Homestead Strike or the Great Railroad Strike of 1922. I’m frankly shocked that we talked about the civil rights movement at all.
