    Yeah, this was a bit later for me but I remember a whole school year in like 7th or 8th grade that was all about dystopian literature and Nazism. Then it continued a little more in specific classes in HS. While I don’t remember an overt discussion of American propaganda there was a lot of discussion around 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and the portrayal of Jewish people in a book I can’t remember. Which I think broadly covers the ideas propaganda.

    I know other groups read The Things They Carried (I think) which may have covered American propaganda more directly since it’s about the Vietnam war.
