My elementary school used a program to teach 3rd-6th graders 'entrepreneurship'. I can't remember what it was called (Junior something?), but it was all about the power of innovation, the free market, and bootstraps.
On the Civil War, we were taught a 50/50 split between slavery and states' rights as causes.
Animal Farm and 1984 were taught as being pro-capitalism, anti-socialism books. Harrison Bergeron was taught as being unironically what 'equality' is about.

junior achievement?
YES!
this reputation going around kept me from reading Vonnegut, I was told it was a polemic against equality
