Cold War, Mental Hygiene, Perfect Family Political Satire?

Obviously the "Atomic" bottle is a definite reference to the Cold War and I can't help but notice that there seems to be some political satire involving the whole post-war "mental hygiene" propaganda that was being aimed at children at the time. The hypnotized/brainwashed mother says something to the effect of "After all, the only thing that's important is the musical betterment of the children of America" in a "LUNCHROOM MANNERS" classroom-film-voice. Remembering that the term "Brainwash" was coined in 1950 (probably right around the time the movie was being written) and given that Dr. Seuss worked on propaganda films during WWII...well...it's interesting. Is he protesting the use of propaganda on children? The whole SALLY, DICK AND JANE and their sunshiney blonde-haired-blue-eyed-rosy-cheeked-apple-dumpling world designed to steer America toward post-war perfection. The song "It Isn't Right" is VERY telling.

Also, I found it interesting that the "500" children are all boys - all expected to slave away at their mindless task while Dr. Terwilliker (the U.S. Government?) joyfully conducts and directs. Post-war industry, making cookie cutter houses and assembly line mass produced goods while wives obediently become June Cleaver moms...(Note dream mom's Jean Louis gowns!)...

Oh, yes...the 50's were a VERY interesting time! One can certainly understand why and how REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE and WEST SIDE STORY came along.
