Ping!
They can go lower. Full Soviet is a real possibility.
Until they hit the bottom, which is where they live.
My son took an AP government class in 2007. The textbook was written by Larry Sabato (or at least his name was on the cover...)I flipped through the book and was astounded to see the unabashed pro-union, anti-business, pro-socialism slant of the book. (It was almost like reading the SJ Mercury News....)Additionally there was an insert inside the front cover that was all about global warming and gay marriage. I flipped to the index to see what, if anything was mentioned about religion....there was a single paragraph about how religious people are bigots because they are against gay marriage....Was I shocked? No, this is California but I found it pretty shameless that an AP Government textbook did not focus on the workings of the government from local to state to federal level. Our schools are infested with these types of textbooks and teachers. Be aware, parents!!
I took AP History in 1980/81.
At that time it consisted mostly of leftist propaganda that presented American history in a relentlessly negative light.
I guess some things never change.

I am familiar with someone who took the AP World History prep test last year, as well as the actual test. In both instances, the students were advised that if they shared the substance of any questions on the test (even with their parents), their results would be negated, they’d be prosecuted, etc.
In each test, there is a question with respect to which the source materials for use on the question are provided. On one test, the question was “using these source materials, describe the improvement in conditions for Cuban women as a result of the Castro revolution.” On the other test, the question was “using these source materials, describe the improvement in conditions for the Chinese laborer as a result of the Maoist revolution.”
