It's a political topic - learning about economics is slighlty more relative than learning about physics. I'm from a country that used to be socialist and when people hear that "Self management and the basics of marxism" used to be a mandatory school subject, they're usually disgusted and call it brainwashing.
I absolutely agree that it's very useful to learn about the inner workings of the system you live in, as it gives you perspective. Even if you disagree with it, it's better to know how it works.
Clearly such a course can be taught in different ways. One could be pure uncritical acceptance and one could be like a philosophy class with real discussion and debate. Which was it? One is most certainly teaching how the doctrine is supposed to work, but may fail to teach you anything of worth about how the system you're living with is actually working.
