Like I'm pretty sure the conclusion I had was "oh haha I see your point mr. Vonnegut, too much equality can indeed be a bad thing!"
And I definitely don't remember my teacher suggesting anything about it being viewable as satire of red scare paranoia either
I had a college class examine Harrison Bergeron and I was the only one who mentioned Vonnegut was a socialist. I love the guy but it's a dog shit story and a terrible satire. Unless you have the context of Vonnegut's personal beliefs it will be taken literally.
