The Cuban Revolution and the US Government

This was just as the revolutionary government was about to launch a major overhaul of education on the island in 1960 and onward. Priests and CIA agents both recruited kids and persuaded parents to trust us the US government will care for them. Catholic school officials feared Castro's rapidly expanding public instruction program would undermine their virtual educational monopoly among moneyed sectors. This made parents and families who were afraid of change in general a perfect soft spot for the US to strike with this kind of propaganda.
