Ms Franchey was guiding her students throughout this video. 1st graders don't spontaneously talk like this. She said to the first girl, "Is he like a hero to you?"

In the 3rd grade I wanted to be Adolph Hitler for halloween, until my Dad found out and set me down and explained to me who he was.

I thought he was some big military hero.

Some 20+-odd years ago, the drama class at my HS performed a play based on the take-over of a gradeschool class where a younger teacher had replaced an older teacher. This younger teacher "innocently" changed the way things were done in her class. But every change had to do with promoting communism and altering the kids' views of traditional Americanism.

She even went so far as to convince the kids to cut up an American flag so they could each have a piece of it. It was certainly anti-commie. I can't for the life of me recall the name of the play (or the book it was based on), but I get shivers when I see these videos of outright classroom exploitation.

I, too, was disappointed in the lack of a cultish song.

Great, more Kenyan Kwanza Karols...

Please make sure you, your friends, and your families vote in school elections. Every vote matters. Always vote “NO.” It'll be the right choice every time.

Don’t blame the kids now...they don’t know. They will be paying for Bammys mistakes in about 20 years....then they will know who he really was.

That was on tv not that long ago..and I can’t remember the name of it. The older teacher was crying, and the students got upset about it until the teacher passed out candy. One little boy didn’t like the way things were happening, until he got candy and fell for the teachers line. Then the young “kind” pretty teacher told all of the kids they’d be wearing the same clothes ..

What is the name of that??

Was it called the wave?

[VanDeKoik]

Most kids in Britain thinks he was a soccer coach.

[Pavegunner72]

I ALMOST laughed, until I realized you are probably telling the truth.

[TexasRepublic]

“Is he like a hero to you?”

“Yes, he is the vanguard of the People’s Revolution, resolutely smashing the captialist imperialist ruling classes and their running dogs”.

[IYAS9YAS]

Was it called the wave?

No. I remember The Wave very well. It was older kids (HS or Junior College), and was a teachers experiment to show how easy it was to convert the kids to totalitarianism (much like the current "V" use of "Peace Ambassadors").

No, this was based on younger kids (grade school age), set strictly in a classroom.

[IYAS9YAS]

Then the young “kind” pretty teacher told all of the kids they’d be wearing the same clothes ..

Yes, that's exactly the story. IIRC it was a short story and a play.

I cannot recall the name of it.

Found it: James Clavell - The Children's Story

The Children's Story

Thank you! I will check it out. I can’t imagine what keywords you had to think of to search for it, but kudos for that! The movie gave me the chills, and the poor elderly teacher just broke my heart. Unfortunately I missed it in its entirety, but thinking about it now, it could be a pre-1984 orwellian play. Heartwrenching.

I searched on "book and play communism taking over a classroom of young kids". It was the fifth link.

Very alliterative. LOL
