“I have an antifa flag on my [classroom] wall"

"I have 180 days to turn them into revolutionaries”

Gabriel Gipe, an #antifa member & teacher at @NatomasUSD, was secretly recorded admitting to indoctrinating students to want to overthrow the government. https://t.co/8r0ASOrA3S

From an article about this undercover interview:

Gipe revealed that he indexes students’ political standings throughout the year, and watches as the class inches further left. “So, they take an ideology quiz and I put [the results] on the [classroom] wall. Every year, they get further and further left … I’m like, ‘These ideologies are considered extreme, right? Extreme times breed extreme ideologies.’ Right? There is a reason why Generation Z, these kids, are becoming further and further left,” said Gipe.

Gipe said that a student had anonymously stated on an end of year questionnaire that the Antifa flag in Gipe’s classroom made him uncomfortable.

“I have an Antifa flag on my [classroom] wall and a student complained about that — he said it made him feel uncomfortable. Well, this [Antifa flag] is meant to make fascists feel uncomfortable, so if you feel uncomfortable, I don’t really know what to tell you. Maybe you shouldn’t be aligning with the values that this [Antifa flag] is antithetical to,” Gipe said. He went on to say that a violent overthrow of the US government is a necessary solution for today’s society.

That’s emotional abuse.  Manipulating a child by implying they are a Nazi if they disagree with you.

This guy got caught but you know there have to be many more like-minded fellow travelers in the school with him.

The prima facie evidence is that nobody in the school confronted him about having an Antifa flag, picture of MAO, or a corkboard of students’ political leanings on the wall.

Another interview with Cecily Myart-Cruz, the head of the L.A. teachers’ union, shows just how high of this rot goes.

[A]fter settling into in a swivel chair and slowly removing her zebra-print face mask, the 47-year-old lightning rod for controversy calmly sets her hands on the table and begins issuing a series of incendiary statements that almost seem aerodynamically designed to grab headlines and infuriate critics. Like this one: “There is no such thing as learning loss,” she responds when asked how her insistence on keeping L.A.’s schools mostly locked down over the last year and a half may have impacted the city’s 600,000 kindergarten through 12th-grade students. “Our kids didn’t lose anything. It’s OK that our babies may not have learned all their times tables. They learned resilience. They learned survival. They learned critical-thinking skills. They know the difference between a riot and a protest. They know the words insurrection and coup.” She even went so far as to suggest darkly that “learning loss” is a fake crisis marketed by shadowy purveyors of clinical and classroom assessments.

She is thrilled that during the pandemic the kids didn’t learn math but were indoctrinated against America, and anyone who complains about that is a Right Wing conspiracy theorist.

Clearly California, and presumably all blue state, public schools are nothing but Leftist indoctrination centers.  As for schools in Red districts, fight to keep these people out.

My fear is that it’s too late and the only way to fix public education now will require a lot of wood chippers and welded bulldozers.
