No. There has
never been a case in America when leftists openly took over a textbook editing committee and removed the teaching of the impact of an American president from the curriculum because that president didn't say that the country was intended to be Socialist. (Here Thomas Jefferson was removed because he didn't say America was founded to be a Christian nation).
What if some lefties
did take over the committee that in effect shapes the curriculum for the nation, and they decided to change all references from "capitalism" to "greed" or "baby-killing" because they thought that would make people like it less? (Here references were changed from "capitalism" to "free market" because they wanted people to like it more).

From what I have seen, the comments here were essentially that these political activists that hijacked the curriculum committee were pushing their political opinions at the expense of educating the children. In fact,
Vexx's original post emphasized that the political orientation was irrelevant compared to the subordination of the goal of educating students to
any political agenda.
