The Democrat Socialists of America Have Infiltrated and Taken Over K-12 Education

The Long March Through the Institutions continues, and we're all too afraid to stop them.

Members of the Democratic Socialists of America have quietly gained leadership posts in K-12 education to push anti-capitalist and anti-Israel views on youngsters across the US, according to a parental rights watchdog group.
Parents Defending Education, a grassroots organization that backs the "restoration" of non-political schooling, has identified dozens of DSA members who have landed or sought top school board and teachers union positions in at least 15 states -- from California to Kentucky and from New York to Texas.
"The Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA, has long had the goal of using the K-12 system as a way to proselytize to a captive audience of other people's children," Parents Defending Education outreach director Erika Sanzi told The Post.
"Their anti-Jewish and anti-Israel messages in the K-12 context are not at all new but many more people have become aware of them since October 7th," she added. "The DSA is poison in schools."

The DSA became infamous after boosting a hate-filled pro-Palestinian rally in Times Square a day after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel, which killed an estimated 1,200 people -- including 33 Americans.

...
Over the past decade, at least 26 DSA members have either won or sought school board posts -- and at least six of those have held leadership positions, according to Parents Defending Education, which notes that its list is not "exhaustive."
...
"[DSA members] advocate for dismantling capitalism, pushing for the Green New Deal, defunding law enforcement, implementing critical race theory, and supporting minors seeking gender surgery without their parents' consent. Their goal is to push these topics on children as young as 5 years old," the report says.
...
In Colorado, teacher and DSA member Bryan Lindstrom submitted a resolution to the Colorado Education Association, the largest union of educators in the state....
In June 2021, Lindstrom ripped conservative uproar over the teaching of critical race theory, calling it "the new Red Scare" and vowing to espouse such teachings in his classroom.
"I'm going on record now," he wrote. "At the end of the day, it's just my students and me in our classroom and we will be discussing race, class, and gender in my history classes, regardless of what laws and policies people want to pass. Critical race theory is a component of everything I do."

The Long March Through the Institutions has succeeded in brainwashing the feral younger generations: half of them want Israel "ended" and turned over to the terrorists of Hamas.

Fifty-one percent of voters aged 18-24 prefer Israel to be "ended" and turned over to the terror group and the Palestinians, according to a poll of 2,034 registered voters from Harvard University and the Harris Poll. That was compared with 32 percent who wanted a two-state solution and 17 percent who wanted surrounding Arab states to "absorb the Palestinians." Additionally, 67 percent of voters in that age group favored an unconditional ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war without any requirement that all hostages be released or Hamas give up power.
Sixty-six percent of young voters in the poll said they believed Hamas's Oct. 7 attacks were "genocidal in nature," and 58 percent said Hamas would like to commit genocide against Israeli Jews. Sixty percent, however, said Hamas's Oct. 7 attack that killed 1,200 Israelis "can be justified by the grievances of Palestinians." Young voters were also split down the middle in terms of whether they supported Israel or Hamas in the war.

So the atrocities perpetrated against Jews were in fact "genocidal," but nevertheless "justified" based on the Racial Ranking Ideology favored by the young. Hmm, I seem to remember a political movement in central Europe with a very similar program.

45 So, cooking experiment is in...

Lamb Split Breast Plate tastes spectacular, and there's nothing left.

VERY greasy, enough that I poured off some of the grease and caramelized onions and mushrooms in it for a red wine gravy that topped the lamb and the homemade foccaccia my kid made. With a 3 green (baby argula, baby spinach, and green leaf lettuce) salad and a fruit salad to help balance all the grease, it was a homerun meal.

A lot of time to make, a b&tch to cut the bones into ribs after the cook, and a little greasy so don't eat a lot...but $10 for lamb for a family of 6 couldn't be beaten. It sounds like a holiday meal (and told the spouse I would have skipped beef tomorrow for his holiday meal if I knew how good this would be).

We just used salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, and a sprinkle of brown sugar on the lamb...

No, @NPR, there is no "hostage swap." Palestinians held in Israeli jails are not hostages; they are there because of their involvement in terror-related offenses. There is no moral equivalence.

Please change your headline like @AP has already done.

==============

The leaders were murdered. What about the brats who terrorized Nien Cheng and beat up landlords? I'm trying to be upbeat here contemplating our own rising Red Guards. At least one of the originals wrote an autobiography and talked about just losing faith, energy, and interest.

185 Is it called The Church of Rome because it worships Rome?

"Men thinking" about Rome bray and bleat about all the razing and killing Rome accomplished, then whimper about the mean ol' Sacks of Rome, when Rome refused to pay off whole tribes they'd hired as mercenaries. Men: that isn't "thinking." That's jacking off during a B-movie, like Alex reading the Bible in "Clockwork."

What would Rome do? Fuck up, no doubt, like everything else they touched. There's a reason none of us are descended from them, but instead from the tribes they considered their inferiors, who survived despite that.

Sewers. I will tell you about their sewers.

186 we're all too afraid...

Usually I just ignore it because I "know what you mean," but sometimes it hits like an oversized speed bump to see things put this way. "We" in such contexts is... what? it's collectivism, group identifying, guilting by association-- communistic!

I'll admit I'm in no position or condition to do much to fight the enemy, but I'm not "afraid." I didn't give up on [], give in to [], allow [] to flourish, or the like. I don't want to be lumped in with those who did. So, not to be all phrasiolgicaly nit-picky, don't groupthinky me, bro.

187 There is full employment and near-hyperinflation. Cutting interest rates will escalate inflation and....fatten the pockets of hedge fund managers, who vote Democrat anyhow? I'm missing something, maybe something big.

189 169 Cuba was subsidized by the USSR, and now is subsidized by Venezuela.
And lots of guillable tourists who want to show they're hip with the struggle against the power.

In all of history, did the commoners have defensive weaponry commensurate to today?
