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.

In response, the GOP House should pass a resolution saying teachers’ unions are inherently bad for education and intelligence.
This means they are teaching for FREE right? Since their salary comes from people engaged in the evil capitalism right?
FIRE ALL PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS AND THEIR MEMBERS
So…. Are they all gonna work for free???
This is communist propaganda. If you live in Colorado, get your kids the hell out of the pulik skrools. I don’t understand why these capitalist hating screwballs are always whining for more money but “identify” as Communists. Communist work for the party and the state, not themselves.
Aren’t teacher’s unions run by blacks?
Name ONE nation run by blacks that isn’t a dictatorship.
..like capitalist greedy teachers unions?
Projection.
The union must be full of Marxist Dems.
We are so screwed. John Galt described the academic community perfectly in the chapter, “This is John Galt Speaking.”
Agree with them. Then cut all funding to public schools. Let ‘em find their own funds
Paid assigns of the the American dream.
Now do socialism.
What about all the perv teachers and administrators who are exploiting innocent children? Every day I read about teachers and librarians giving pornography to children and grooming them. Every day.
They look like a couple of commie bags ‘o’ crap.
These stupid commies only have a job because capitalism allows them to be welfare wards of the state as a bureaucrat or teacher on the back of taxpayers.
Parental Resolution
Stupid liberals should not be teaching children.
