Radio host Michael Knowles made a very good point on “Fox & Friends” saying that Democratic Socialists are now urging Socialists to become teachers because they cannot win a “fair fight.” (Video below)
A pamphlet by the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), in conjunction with the Democratic Socialist Labor Commission, outlines a push for socialists to “take jobs as teachers” as a way to move teachers unions “in a more militant and democratic direction.”
Knowles said that according to numerous surveys, “the blood-soaked history” of socialism is unknown by millennials, leading them to identify as supporters of the movement.
Campus Reform reported that the YDSA’s 11-page pamphlet notes teachers are able to use their relationships with students to discuss “campaigns around police brutality, immigrant rights, and environmental justice.”
Knowles said Saturday that he believes Democratic Socialists are targeting the teaching industry and as a result, students, because they can’t win against adults.
“They can’t win in the battle of ideas,” he said.
He said that instead, Democratic Socialists are trying to cut off any thought of freedom by students and replace it with socialist ideology.
“They’ve got to indoctrinate an ideology rather than educate in history because if they teach history, they’re going to lose,” he said.
The pamphlet notes that organizing in schools is a way to “win concessions from the millionaire and billionaire class.”
“Teaching is proving to be one viable way for socialists to get into the labor movement and wage class struggle in a key industry that is under attack by capital,” it reads.
