Chicago Teachers Unions Want Kids to Take May Day Off to Rally Against President

Any institution that has been infiltrated, subverted, and commandeered by moonbats is no longer about what it used to be about. It is about moonbattery. For example, K-12 education is no longer about education; it is about indoctrinating children and recruiting them into leftism.

Nowhere is this more obvious than in Chicago, where as Townhall reports, “Roughly 30 percent of [Chicago Public Schools] students can read on grade level; only 20 percent can do math.”

Daily Caller reports on what the unions calling the shots want kids to do instead of learn:

[Chicago Teachers Union], along with other unions, is planning a one-day strike on May 1 to protest what they call President Donald Trump’s “rising authoritarianism.” The union is calling on supporters to demand Chicago Public Schools give students the day off and “make May 1st an official day of civic action.”

May 1 aka International Workers’ Day has been regarded as a major holiday under Marxist regimes; it featured large-scale parades in the USSR. “Authoritarianism” is Liberalese for pushback against left-wing authoritarianism. Trump is not the one who wants an ever more intrusive government to enslave us through ever higher taxes and ever more suffocating regulations. That would be Democrats — speaking of whom:

Socialist Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who has accepted millions in campaign contributions from the union, has signaled support for the union’s plan, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

No good comes of the unholy alliance between the Democratic Party and public sector unions.

University of Maryland Student Government Introduces Resolution Siding With Iranian Regime Against USA

Under domination by leftists, universities are becoming enemy beachheads deep within our own borders, the equivalent of terrorist sleeper cells. Campus Reform presents an example:

Student leaders at the University of Maryland-College Park (UMCP) have reportedly introduced a new resolution pledging solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

There is no regime on earth more conspicuously evil — not to mention hostile to America — than the one ruling Iran. It has long been the #1 state sponsor of terrorism and has been at war with the USA since 1979. It has killed many an American. It openly calls for our total destruction and has been working feverishly to acquire nuclear missiles to bring this about. Also, the brutal regime has been murdering its own people by the tens of thousands.

Members of the Student Government Association (SGA)—which represents the student body—introduced the resolution on March 4 following joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on the dictatorial regime in Iran.

Israel has been designated the “Little Satan” to America’s “Great Satan.” The Iranian regime openly aspires to eradicate both. But apparently it was planning a carveout for the University of Maryland, since students appear not to regard it as a threat.

Or maybe it is just a certain kind of student who sides with the ayatollahs, and the rest just go along so as not to be bullied as Islamophobes. The resolution was sponsored by someone named Zyad Khan. Cosponsors have names like Saad Ijaz, Mohammad Abukhdeir, and Hasan Islam.

Despite the fact that Iranians worldwide celebrated the coordinated strikes and subsequent Feb. 28 death of dictator Ayatollah Khamenei, the resolution feigns support for Iranians’ right to “self-determination” of their own political futures “without foreign interference or coercion.”

Like all moonbattery, the resolution is malevolent nonsense that lacks internal coherence.

Affirming Islamic Sensibilities Through British Schools

To teach children to be obedient dhimmis who comply unthinkingly with Islamic rule, it is best to start young. Daily Mail reports from Britainistan:

Children’s drawings could be considered blasphemous, while music and dance lessons could contravene the teachings of Islam, local councils have warned schools.

The guidance has been issued to teachers across northern England as part of a publication intended to highlight ‘sensitivity and awareness around faiths and beliefs’.

One particular faith is always granted priority, given its extreme propensity for violence and the vast number of adherents Britain has imported.

‘A three-dimensional imagery of humans is considered idolatrous by some Muslims,’ the guidance warns.

‘It is very important that the school understands this and is also careful not to ask its students to reproduce images of Jesus, Prophet Mohammed or other figures considered to be prophets in Islam.

This would mean that a crucifix is blasphemous, so let’s hope the warning went out to Catholic schools too.

Music is something else Britain may have to live without in order to be multiculturally sensitive toward the ruling class it has been importing.

There are also guidelines around the teaching of music.

‘In Islam, music is traditionally limited to the human voice and non-tuneable percussion instruments as in the days of the Prophet, when they were only used in marriage ceremonies and on the battlefield.’

Traditionally, immigrants assimilated into the host culture. With Islam it works the other way around.

School Honors Man for Women’s History Month

Looks like women really are discriminated against. A high school in Illinois discriminates against them by honoring a man in celebration of Women’s History Month.

Via Daily Caller:

Batavia Public School District 101 honored Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware, who claims to be a transgender woman, in a since-deleted Thursday Facebook post

Timothy a.k.a. “Sarah” McBride became well known due to a congressional resolution to keep male perverts like himself out of the ladies’ room on Capitol Hill. He is also known for grooming children on behalf of the LGBT agenda.

Gushes Batavia PSD:

“Sarah McBride was born on August 9th, 1990, in Wilmington, Delaware. At a young age, she [sic] became interested in politics and government. McBride eventually ran for the state senate and won, making her [sic] the first openly transgender person elected to the United States Senate.”

Actually, McBride is in the House of Representatives not the Senate. These days, you can’t expect much from public schools — except moonbattery.

Nutty Professor Joins Hate Hoax List

Professor Onwubiko Agozino is unlikely to have produced any useful scholarship, but at least he has managed to join the Hate Hoax List.

Via Fox News:

Agozino is a professor of sociology at [Virginia Tech University] and describes himself as a “scholar-activist who values inclusive excellence and diversity with critical attention focused on people of African descent and other marginalized groups around the world” who “emphasizes race, class, and gender issues in his contributions to learning, discovery, and community engagement beyond the boundaries of the classroom.”

As an example of his community engagement beyond the boundaries of the classroom,

He filed the complaint with police on Feb. 10, after an incident where a group of White men blaring rap music with profane lyrics from their truck stopped on the street in front of his house and shoveled snow and ice out of the truck’s bed.

So as to promote the narrative that has served Agozino well, this was proclaimed to be a hate crime.

The story was amplified by New River Valley Indivisible, part of the national far-left nonprofit Indivisible, which promotes progressivism and has recently organized nationwide protests against President Donald Trump.

NRVI demanded the snow shovelers be prosecuted at both the state and federal levels.

The police in Christiansburg, Virginia were forced to waste time investigating the supposed racial incident rather than actual crimes. Their findings:

“After several interviews, including a third-party eyewitness, and a detailed investigation, detectives found that a group of juveniles were attending an organized function at a home in the area,” the town explained. “Before departure, two juveniles attempted to clear frozen snow and ice out of the bed of a truck, but were unable to completely remove, due to the slope of the vehicle. Upon departure, the juveniles stopped at a flat spot on the street, where a juvenile pushed out the remaining frozen snow and ice.”

Incredible as it might seem to believers in Critical Race Theory, not everything that ever happens is about the oppression of put-upon people of preferred pigmentation. Actually, hardly anything is.

Agozino responded that the kids should be punished anyway even if there was no criminal intent.

He also said police increased patrols near his home to “prevent a repeat or escalation.”

This would mean more resources wasted pandering to a jerk and his pernicious ideology.

California Teacher of the Year Finalist Busted for Pedophilia

The emphasis on sexually corrupting children on behalf of the LGBT agenda suggests that the teaching profession may be attracting people who would have been shunned by it in the past. Breitbart provides further confirmation:

A San Jose assistant principal — a 2024 finalist for California Teacher of the Year — has been arrested after allegedly attempting to pay an undercover officer, whom he thought was a 13-year-old boy, for sex.

Ruben Guzman, 31, a math teacher and assistant principal at the Sunrise Middle School for the past six years, was arrested as part of a large-scale, online chat operation by the San Jose police during Super Bowl week.

Looks like the SJPD was not on board with the NFL’s extra promotion of homosexuality with the event taking place in the Gay Area.

Guzman not only was a finalist for teacher of the year, but he was also recognized by the San Francisco 49ers football team for his work in education, the Daily Mail reported.

According to the SJPD,

“Because the suspect was employed in a position of trust working with children at the time of arrest, (Internet Crimes Against Children) Detectives believe there may be additional victims.”

Guzman is only a few years ahead of his time. If progressives keep progressing, he will soon be revered as a sacred victim of pedophobia.
