Description
Cartoon depicts two men, Apathy and Ignorance, sitting on the island of freedom as the waters of communism surround them. Debates arose regarding the educational system of the United States as compared to the educational system of the Soviet Union. It was argued that poorly educated children would foster either ignorance or apathy and that freedom would give way to communism.
