Colorado school district says NO to teachers union’s ‘Anti-American’ agenda

Colorado school district stands up to teachers union’s ‘stunning’ rejection of capitalism: ‘Anti-American’

“I was pretty much in shock from that statement. As vice president of the school board in Woodland Park, it was just pretty stunning to see the biggest teachers union in the state of Colorado openly adopt a radical anti-American resolution like that and be really open about it,” (Woodland Park School Board Vice President David) Illingworth said Tuesday.

No surprise there.

The Colorado Education Association (CEA) released a pointed resolution last month that explained the union’s rejection of the free-market economic system.

“CEA believes that capitalism requires exploitation of children, public schools, land, labor, and/or resources. Capitalism is in opposition to fully addressing systemic racism (the school to prison pipeline), climate change, patriarchy, (gender and LGBTQ disparities), education inequality, and income inequality,” the resolution said.

Modern capitalism does not exploit kids (child labor is outlawed).

Education inequalities?  Are you saying your union does not teach each student equally?  Grade them equally?

They want an extremely toxic far alt-left agenda.

Marxism/communism is about oppressor/oppresses – and that is what their statement is all about.

This marxist/communist union wants communism and equity – aka anti-american values.

“It’s always communism when the rubber meets the road,” he said. “You can call it Marxism, socialism, but when they start actually putting it into practice and implementing it in all the misery and ugliness that comes with it, it’s communism, no doubt about it.”

Illingworth pointed to a “great awakening” among parents nationwide. Since the COVID pandemic, he argued parents are taking a stand

through school board elections and advocacy after getting an inside look at the content being woven into education.

“In Colorado, like in many states, the school board is locally elected by the community. And so we represent Woodland Park values. And we’re not going to be intimidated, bow or take a knee to a big teachers union that’s there to launder money through our teachers into the pockets of special interests and politicians,” he said.

It is time for teacher to once more become educations, not indoctrinators.  Teaching their students the skills they need for the real world, and not to be non-productive NPCs/activists.
