Do I get to control your sex life? What makes you think that you, a socialist, should have any control over any aspect of my life?
Students are there to learn, not be brainwashed. The more students learn about socialism and its history, if they are also taught the alternatives, the more they will reject it.
Should students be allowed to draw their own conclusions? should they be allowed to make a argument that the socialist thinkers may have had valid points?
Teaching should not inherently biased to automatically reject socialism.

Hell, let's make Mein Kampf required reading, while we're at it. I mean, students can make their own minds up...right?
My history teacher has mien kampf in his library, does that fact make him a nazi?
This reads remarkable like "Communism, real communism, has never been tried yet. What happened elsewhere was distorted communism and that's why it failed."
The study of Socialism needs to be anchored on a foundation of sophisticated thought. Socialism REQUIRES the raping of liberty, so a student needs to fully understand what is going to be raped in order to balance the gains they think will arise from adopting socialism.

I hope not, because I have it my library, too. That doesn't address my point, however.
Should the Russians have been able to make that judgement?
Aren't individuals responsible for creating their own moral values?

Who said it should be? We have said they should be taught a true and accurate history of socialism. Apparently, you think, that letting them know the truth about socialism is assumed to be a bias against it.
Can a society be a supporter of both liberty and equality?
If the only sources of information about socialism you provide for students are negative portrayals, the knowledge the student will be inherently biased.

Let me try that out. "If the only sources of information about National Socialism you provide for students are negative portrayals, the knowledge the student will be inherently biased."
The teacher can always use Mein Kamph as an example of how things can go horribly wrong when personal liberty is lost..
Socialism is a very broad subject.
democratic socialism, social democracy, and reformism are all related to socialism.
You forgot National Socialism.

Is it any wonder that young people today think that Nazism is a worse ideology than Communism?
How would you know WHAT schools are doing or WHAT students are thinking .Schools are teaching kids HOW to think, not WHAT to think.
national socialism is well known, but it stains the name and reputations of other tennents of socialism.
