Um, check out some more of the propaganda he is spreading.
The Cuban Revolution: A look at Fidel Castro's communism.
Instructor:
Department: Social Studies
Description:
The course will begin with a brief overview of Marxist-Leninist theory as a base, and then we will see how these ideas have played out in Cuba over the last half century. We will discuss Cuban internationalism and Cuba's ties to Eastern Europe, Angola, South Africa and in particular Nelson Mandela, and how the idea of a constant revolution helps this relatively small country afloat. A particular focus will be given to Cuba's relation with the U.S. and how that has shaped the community of our closest communist neighbors.

Cuba has more natural resources than any other country in the Caribbean. Fifty years ago they were the most prosperous nation in the Caribbean, now they are the second poorest (after Haiti). That is where "constant revolution" got them.

If it's against the law to smoke Cuban cigars, it should be illegal for this guy to teach!

We live near here. My daughter went to a private school, too, but it was Christian. What a 180 from what she studied! I'll have to ask her, but I think her soccer team played this school. New Hope is a very, very wealthy area. The little town itself is known for its arts. And its homeosexuality. And its witchcraft. The last time I was there, a witch (or warlock, couldn't tell) crossed the street in front of us. At least one shop has a pentagram on the front and many, many are occult-oriented.
