Educators need to stop radicalizing kids
That’s the message we must send to educators in California’s socialist cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Instead, teachers, unions and other educational leaders have taken a dangerous path by indoctrinating students –– some only in elementary or middle school –– into violent far-left politics.
This isn’t just about kids speaking their minds (i.e., minds shaped by adults).
It’s about radicalizing kids and using them as political weapons.
The result is a generation of kids who, like many of their teachers, put ideology above learning, politicize daily life, and disrespect law enforcement authority.
And this is a big problem: Kids are being used as pawns and weaponized against federal agents, as we saw in downtown LA on Friday, when a mob of students attacked officers –– some swinging poles –– and again on Saturday, when students again assaulted officers and one teen was shot when a gun went off.
Students are protesting and even rioting during school hours, instead of completing lessons.
And kids, starting at a young age, are moving from grade to grade with a skewed set of values and priorities –– including brazen disrespect for public safety officers.
The left-wing activism in schools today is pervasive and astounding.
Too often, though, educators emphasize activism, gender identity, and anti-ICE rancor.
