A Minneapolis, Minnesota middle school teacher took to TikTok to praise her students for having “no respect for authority” and recommend Marxist teachings in the classroom.
Highland Park Middle School science teacher Mandi Jung's TikTok profile is full of videos advertising resources and tips for other teachers, including how to teach Marxism and anti-capitalism, Fox News reports.
In one post, the Saint Paul district teacher said, "My students this year have no respect for authority. And I love that in a person because I have no respect for authority whatsoever."
She went on to complain of the impact of her "no respect" approach, saying, "But it has been a frustrating year because I am the authority. So I'm like, 'Damn the man, but I am the man.'"
One of the resources Jung shared on social media was Marxist political cartoon that read "Capitalism. We rule you. We fool you. We shoot at you. We eat for you."
According to Jung, who teaches lessons in biology, the scientific consensus taught to children about cells are part of "capitalist indoctrination."
"Seventh grade science… [is] the year that you learn that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and all this cell biology," the teacher said. "So at the end of the unit, I have [students] take a test. And one of the questions is 'A person says the nucleus is the most important organelle in the cell. Do you agree or disagree, and why?"
"And almost every child says, 'Yes, I agree. Because without a boss, the cell would be in total chaos,'" she continued.
Jung went on to describe how that answer "cracks [her] up," then called bacteria the "original anarchists" compared to cells with nuclei.
"Bacteria don't have a nucleus, and they are arguably one of the most successful classes of organisms on the planet. Bacteria out here being the original anarchists, right?," she said, before making puns based on Marxist ideology.
"No nucleus, no master. Seize the means of metabolism. I don't know. It's funny to me," she said.
When Fox released its report, Jung responded on Instagram with "Well, they managed to make me look like the most fun and coolest teacher ever lol."
In a statement to the outlet, Saint Paul Public Schools defended their employee, saying, "As a general rule, public employees, as citizens, have the right to personally comment on matters of public importance without restriction or reprisal by their employer."
No respect for authority equals no respect for him.
That sword cuts both ways
The first student to tell her to “F*** Off!” get an A.
will she give the students an “A” when they beat the crap out of her?
Exactly.
The only things these Marxists will understand is repayment in kind.
I remember a bumper sticker in the ‘70s that said “Question Authority” but now it means a whole lot more than that bumper sticker did.
Makes me wish that the inmates were running the asylum.
That’s fair. I have no respect for Marxists.
Marxism is dead. It continues to exist only in the minds of fanatics and people incapable of self-awareness.
What was that left-hand picture of her? Where’s Walrus?
Sis. Fat, stupid and dressed like a clown is no way to go through life.
Wouldn’t want to be in that classroom as a student, or is there an exception to his rule in his class?
Cool. Have a teacher say gender dysphoric is just a mental illness, or post the FBI uniform crime reports showing blacks account for over 50% of homicide and robbery arrests. Tell me how that goes.
Well. I don’t have any respect t for “authority” either. I respect certain professions like the police, when they are acting professionally. I have none for federal agencies except the military and maybe the FAA. Most govt and educational “authorities”, being incompetent and corrupt, can KMA.
An oompa-loompa on drugs.
Real marxist classroom would be “learn or to the salt mines!”
Large percentages of students in the Twin Cities cannot pass proficiency exams in reading and math. Is it any wonder when they are being taught by idiots like this?
It offends me when I see people like this. Very often, it is our fellow Americans, spoiled to liberty, who don’t see the evil.
And it is telling when you get a chance to talk to someone who HAS seen the evil that government can do because they saw it in the country they cam from, and when they speak and tell me how much it frightens them to see it here, in the USA, I believe them unfailingly.
They know.
And jerk-offs like this “Marxist science teacher” don’t know.
They meant “Question Authority When People I Don’t Like Are In Charge”.
I thought it had to do with how the Viet Nam war turned out and how there was plenty of blame to go around. Disrespect for those “authorities” was palpable but today’s outcries come from people with little to no common sense who should’ve realized by now that their idea of common sense and decency is sorely lacking to the extent that they not only look ridiculous, they’re absolutely ridiculous. They derive a poor quality of the meaning of life in general and their expectations of others to have respect for them are pathetic and unrealistic.
