my AP euro teacher was a capitalist who taught for the health insurance and because capitalism doesn't require anything from capitalism so he wasn't busy. he's a gigantic ayn rand stan and is on the city council in the town i'm from. most of that high school social sciences department were essentially christofascist nazis.
edit: my AP u.s. history teacher was a slumlord who taught because he wanted to coach football (and also the health insurance), and he was genuinely one of the dimmest people i've ever met in my entire life.
My AP US teacher may have secretly been a socialist because he did not pass over American war crimes. He covered My Lai, how the Soviets did the most during WWII, etc.
My AP Euro teacher, on the other hand, taught us literal Holocaust denial likely stemming from David Irving and was vehemently anti-communist. It's no surprise she ended up getting fired for being a pedophile after her husband caught her with a student.
I should count myself lucky that she had “Germinal” by Emile Zola as a book we could read for extra credit. It was many years later that I realized that was a good leftist (well, I don’t know Emile’s politics that well) book, and maybe one of the things that helped me get to where I am today.
I suspect she hadn’t read it, though.
