A major teachers’ union in the state of Colorado recently passed a resolution declaring that the capitalist system of economics “inherently exploits children, public schools, land, labor, and resources.”
According to Fox News, the final draft of the resolution passed by the Colorado Education Association (CEA) reads: “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.”
But a screenshot was leaked of an earlier draft, which saw an extra phrase added to the end of the paragraph. The line declared that the CEA’s goal would be “to dismantle capitalism and replace it with a new, equitable economic system.”

The screenshot of the original draft was leaked to an outlet called The Lion by a former federal official, who received the image from a CEA member who was disgusted by the resolution. When the outlet went to the CEA’s director of communications Lauren Stephenson, she acknowledged the legitimacy of the leaked image and the resolution itself, which she admitted was passed in secret due to concerns about “process” and privacy.
The resolution was introduced by history professor Bryan Lindstrom, who tweeted after the resolution’s passage that CEA members are now allowed “to publicly advocate and lobby for anti-capitalist policies at the CO Capitol.”
The CEA is a state affiliate of the broader National Education Association (NEA), which has also displayed far-left tendencies in recent years. Becky Pringle, the president of NEA, declared recently that “racial justice,” “social justice,” and “climate justice” must become “pillars” of the NEA’s mission.

The teachers unions, ardent disciples of John Dewey, embrace Socialism and the public (government) education system’s key role in the advancement of the Socialist movement.

These are the a-holes destroying our society. Fire them all and never allow them to teach children again. 🤬
The public schools need to be purged of communists.
Oh, and Senator McCarthy was right.
I had a ‘conversation’ with a coworker many years ago. She claimed that capitalism was the evil scourge of the world and we would be better off without it.
WELL, I informed her SHE was a capitalist as she had left her old job for a better paying one so she could live a better life.
It was like throwing Holy Water in the devil’s face.
Ping.
In response, the GOP House should pass a resolution saying teachers’ unions are inherently bad for education and intelligence.
Is there a GOP House, in CO??
No, there is not ...

CO is getting EXACTLY what they voted for.
“...the capitalist system of economics “inherently exploits children, public schools, land, labor, and resources.””
Well, the Teachers’ Unions seem to be the Capitalists who most exploit the children for their own personal gains.
Say the very commies who exploit children....history repeats itself.
“If I learned nothing else, I learned to be immensely suspicions of all generalized views about Russia; even if they accord with the state of affairs in 1922 or 1925, they may have little relevancy to 1928, and perhaps be of only antiquarian meaning by 1933. As foreigners resident in the country frequently put it to me, Russia lives in all its internal problems and policies from hand to mouth; only in foreign politics is there consistency and unity.”
“I have never seen anywhere in the world such a large proportion of intelligent, happy and intelligently occupied children.”
“The other impression I would record came from a non-official visit to a House of Popular Culture. Here was a fine new building in the factory quarter, surrounded by recreation grounds, provided with one large theater, four smalled assembly halls, fifty rooms for club-meetings, recreation and games headquarters for trade unions, costing two million dollars, frequented daily–or rather, nightly–by five thousand persons as a daily average. Built and controlled, perhaps, by the government? No, but by the voluntary efforts fo the trade unions, who tax themselves 2 percent of their wages to afford their collective life these facilities. The House is staffed and managed by its own elected officers. The contrast with the comparative inactivity of our own working men and with the quasi-philanthropic quality of similar enterprises in my own country left a painful impression.”

“Everyone believes that teachers unions requires exploitation of children, public schools, land, labor, and/or resources. Unionizing 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.”
That’s the pot calling the kettle black.
No one exploits children more than the public education establishment.
Fine, then. In accordance with their wishes their entire salary is immediately paid to the state, their homes and bank accounts become property of the state, and they are given a small stipend to pay everyday expenses.
The will no longer have the freedom to make public pronouncements like the one they made, and they will not be able to travel out of their city without government permission.
That should lead to social justice.
If I remember correctly the unions were formed to counteract the rich elites from exploiting the working class. Now it seems to me the elites are the unions and they are still exploiting the working class.
Dear, socialist scum...
Pedophiles say what, now?
