"According to the website txcscopereview.com, a lesson plan for 6th graders in government schools reads as follows:
Notice socialist/communist nations use symbolism on their flags representing various aspects of their economic system. Imagine a new socialist nation is creating a flag and you have been put in charge of creating a flag. Use symbolism to represent aspects of socialism/communism on your flag. What kind of symbolism/colors would you use?

Texas legislators looked none too kindly on this revelation as they questioned the curriculum’s creators at a recent hearing."

Heaven forbid we teach our students about political structures other than democracy!!! They'll surely want to become communists and socialists now!

Teaching about it is fine, promoting it is indoctrination.

I don't know and I didn't say it was in this case. My statement stands on its own.

Just checking to see what you meant. If seems as if "researcher" doesn't want kids to learn about socialism.

No, they SHOULD learn about socialism and communism and how they don't work with individual freedom.

Frankly think this is a rather lame activity for sixth graders, maybe third graders.
