We aren't taught ideology. We know we have capitalism, and though most people couldn't tell marxist from socialist from communist, they have negative connotations for them. They're often used as insults, actually, although again, most people don't have clue what they mean.

Unfortunately, these days, U.S. students are getting brainwashed with socialism too. It drives me crazy because its such a lie. Every country that has tried full fledged communism or socialism has failed miserably. Ask anyone who lived in the former U.S.S.R. during the 80's and earlier or anyone who lived in Cuba how "great" socialism is. If capitalism is so awful, why do so many people leave socialist countries to come and live in the U.S.? China wouldn't be anywhere near as well off economically today if it wasn't for embracing certain aspects of capitalism.

We're taught to be authoritarians, nationalists, and supporters of corporate-welfare capitalism. I certainly faced insults and beatings from administrators, teachers, and fellow-students for disagreeing with such things.
