New in PJ Media:
In Gavin Newsom’s California, the kids have a leg up on those in the rest of the country, because the Golden State has the coolest, hippest teachers. In San Juan Hills High School in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., teacher Danielle “Flint” Serio has an entire “queer library” in her classroom. And down the road at Madison High School in San Diego, a teacher has defined “fascist” with words including “Trump,” “white,” “Christian,” and “heterosexual.” The Republican Party, this sage wrote on his classroom whiteboard, “is a fascist organization that no longer fits the category of a conventional Democratic Party.” It’s not just the broad-brush slander. It’s the historical illiteracy. Our schools are turning out a generation of indoctrinated imbeciles. That appears to be the goal, in fact.
The Madison High teacher’s heroic efforts to turn American schoolchildren into socialist lemmings would have passed unnoticed were it not for a student in the class who took the risk of taking photos and speaking to Christopher Tremoglie of the Washington Examiner. Both the student and the teacher were kept anonymous, however, for fear of retaliation from the teacher or vengeful Leftist school officials.
The teacher’s explanation of fascism, meanwhile, is false in so many ways that it’s dizzying. Take, for example, his inclusion of “Christian” as one of its essential components. The student whistleblower said: “He just kind of put up that [Christians] are fascists, and they support a fascist government. Immediately — he didn’t even ask the class about it. He just made the assumption right away that whites and Christians automatically support a fascist government.”
Fascism did indeed arise first in a Christian country, Italy, and reached an apex of evil in another Christian country, Germany, but it was ultimately defeated in large part due to the efforts of two other Christian countries, Britain and the United States. And fascism is inherently “heterosexual”? Does this clown not realize that every human society on earth since the dawn of recorded time has been heterosexual?
It’s unlikely that the Madison High School teacher has the faintest idea of the actual meaning of “fascism” and is likely only using the word because it is the Left’s all-purpose catchall term for ideas and groups it hates. The word itself, however, is derived from the Latin fasces, which means a bundle of sticks. The idea is that the sticks are all bound together and that there is strength in unity. This was a perfect name for a movement that advocated an all-powerful central government that would not take over the means of production, as the Communists advocated, but would leave them in private hands while forcing them to coordinate their activities with the government’s demands.
There is more. Read the rest here.

teachers such as this are stupid people. Not actually *knowing* something, but having **paid** authority to tell the kids, give them exams on, and expect them to believe and share what the stupid person has proclaimed as Truth.
This young student must have parents who care and he has a brain for actually thinking, not just believing whatever is spouted by someone in authority over him.
Unfortunately, the stupid people are multiplying like roaches. And many of them have taken jobs that give them authority over the kids. Much like those who sexually molest children get jobs where they have “hands on” opportunities. these *molesters* of children’s brains and emotions are just as bad.

I attended both Catholic and public schools while growing up in America during the 1950’s and 60’s. I do not recall ever once that I heard my teachers say one word about homosexuality, nor did they disparage anyone considered to be “queer.” In fact, I don’t remember any of them ever using the word “queer” at all. I remember getting mad at my brother once and calling him a “queer” and my mother told me never to use that word. She didn’t say why though. I just thought it meant “weird person.” My Catholic teachers talked about sin in general but never about hating people who committed sins. They stressed forgiveness and hating the sin while loving the sinner. I never even knew the religion of my teachers In public school and I don’t recall any public school teacher ever mentioning their religious beliefs at all.
So I don’t get where all the hate is coming from toward Christians. I grew up in a different world and now I live in what seems like a foreign land.

Jesus said it, “the world hates you.” We are so close now to the ‘end” that He also told us about, that the hatred is growing stronger and more apparent. Revelation says that “the devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing his time is short.”
that’s why and from where it is coming. satan wants everyone…all of mankind…dead, but his hatred is esp strong against those who follow Jesus.

Yes, Jesus also said we should become like little children if we wished to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I wish I could go back to being the little child I once was, believing in Santa Claus. Santa Claus made me happy and Jesus still does. My childhood friends were the best friends I ever had. I am an old man now but I don’t care if people think I never grew up and that I believe in childish things. Heaven will be a place full of children and I hope I will be one of them.

One day when I was a child, my mother said that she looked in the mirror and didn’t see the sixteen year old, the one she felt like. I didn’t understand at the time; now I do. I’m still a sixteen year old inside where it counts. sometimes, even a little younger.
I have my paints, brushes and canvases, but I also have my crayons and a coloring book.
Innocence is what it is all about. Not knowing the evils that humans, and evil spirits, do and are capable of doing to others…while adult people allow the innocence to continue as long as possible.. that and accepting the good in others without regard to external features. little kids don’t care about skin or wealth or what kind of career one has; or any such things. We should all be like that.

You would think the Muslim teachers would appreciate the Fascists more highly, given the actions of the Fascists during WWII in regard to the Jews. The ‘Queer Library”. however, may not be such a hit.

They do. But saying this is generally not politic.

In This High School, Kids Learn That Republicans and Christians Are Fascists
…at Madison High School in San Diego, a teacher has defined “fascist” with words including “Trump,” “white,” “Christian,” and “heterosexual.”
…………………………………………
*Just appalling*.
Also, the neighborhood where this school is located–the Clairemont Mesa district of San Diego–is “purplish-blue”, which means it has some registered Republicans. The school is surrounded by a Lutheran Church and Christian academy and pre-school, and a Synagogue. It is also majority-white and mostly families (with an average of 5.6 people per household). Yes, there are gay families, but I think it is safe to assume that most of these families are heterosexual.
So this teacher is mostly teaching these kids to hate themselves and their families. Just disgusting.
somehistory says
I thought about that when I saw it on my news feed….that these kids are being taught to hate…their families in particular and their neighbors in general….and that will make it easier for the kids to squeal on their parents, grandparents, siblings…when the time for the roundup begins. to listen at the dinner table and listen at doors in order to hear things they can “report.”

“UN Education Agency Launches War On ‘Conspiracy Theories’’
Alex Newman
“According to the Paris-based U.N. education agency, which released a major report on the subject for educators this summer, conspiracy theories cause “significant harm” and form “the backbone of many populist movements.”
Among other concerns, conspiracy theories “foster and reinforce harmful thinking patterns and exclusive worldviews,” the report said.
They also “reduce trust in public institutions” and “scientific institutions,” which can drive people to violence or decrease their desire to “reduce their carbon footprint,” UN officials argued in the document.
While “all conspiratorial thinking threatens human rights values,” the document says without elaborating, some conspiracy theories are more dangerous than others.
In some cases, teachers are even encouraged to report their students to authorities.
Examples of “conspiracy theories” cited in the report include everything from widely held and respectable beliefs such as “climate change denial” and “manipulation of federal elections” in the United States, to more far-fetched notions such as the “earth is flat” or “Michelle Obama is actually a lizard.”
“There are plenty of crazy thoughts on the Internet, many of which are patently false,” explained Citizens for Free Speech Director Patrick Wood. “The only thoughts being ‘corrected’ are those contrary to the globalist narrative. This proves that the focus is on protecting their own narratives and nothing else.”
“UNESCO joins a censorship cartel that now includes the European Union, the U.S. government, the World Economic Forum, social media giants like Facebook and Twitter, and notably, Google,” Wood told The Epoch Times. “Anyone who does not parrot the globalist narrative is by default considered to be a ‘conspiracy theorist.’”
“What they mean by ‘conspiracy theory’ is any claim or argument or evidence that differs from the propaganda pumped out by the government and media,” warned New York University Professor of Media Studies Mark Crispin Miller, who studies propaganda and government misinformation.”
