Why Homeschool, Part 30

So your kids won't be indoctrinated by Marxists!

The Other McCain reports:

Steve Foley at Minority Report describes this video, recorded at last month’s Left Forum in New York City:

Sarah Knopp, a Los Angeles teachers union leader (in the Tax the Rich shirt) and Megan Behrent a New York City teacher affiliated with the International Socialist Organization, explain how to push Marxism in the public school classroom.

This panel discussion, entitled ”Capitalism and Education: A Marxist Discourse on What We’re Fighting Against and What We’re Fighting For,” was sponsored by the magazine International Socialist Review. (I’ve screencapped this from their Facebook page.)

Notice that participants in this panel included two public university professors who train teachers: Jean Anyon of City University of New York and Jeff Bale of Michigan State University.

Parents who continue sending their children to public schools government indoctrination centers always react to revelations like this by saying, “Oh, that kind of stuff isn’t happening in our school. We live in a good district!”

To such parents, I ask: Do you think people like Sarah Knopp and Megan Behrent only teach in bad school districts? How many more socialist teachers like Knopp and Behrent are there in America? And do you think they advertise their beliefs to the parents in their districts? [Emphasis in original.]

School choice -- including homeschooling -- is the only answer to this sort of problem. And make no mistake, these are the people driving the opposition to school choice!
