Communism In Our Schools

By Mithridate Ombud on Education

Tonight I had chance to listen to Bruce DuMont's radio show and heard the story of how teachers in one school confiscate all the children's school supplies (and in this case even lunch boxes), put them in a pile, and everyone takes turns coming up and taking what they want, whether the parents like it or not. A guest on the show, Erika Brees, Heartland Regional Director for College Democrats of America, defended this action saying that "it's an important lesson that people learn to do with less so others can have what they need too, and if the parents aren't willing to teach that, I think it's good that the school does." [I paraphrase]

This is nothing more than an introduction to communism. I was shocked. I thought there's no way that this redistribution of personal property really goes on in American school rooms. After a few searches and several calls to teacher friends, I've found this to be more common than I ever would have thought, and of course there is not one media story on the subject to be found.

It's one thing to buy extra supplies so the classroom has the tools it needs to conduct class. It's quite another to steal property from one person... and give it to another.

It's quickly becoming clear that America is under attack by communists. Communism is a disease that best grows in darkness and, in this country anyway, is destroyed by the light of mass attention. I ask all of you, if you find examples of communism in your classroom (particularly public schools), DM a tweet to me on Twitter or send me a direct message here at Newsbusters. Let me help get the word out.

And if your child's teacher confiscates the personal property you purchased for their education and distributes it to others against your will, I'd suggest you file a police report for theft.
