Handouts blamed the pandemic on racism and capitalism gave Chinese government a pass
A District of Columbia public school teacher encouraged students to blame the coronavirus pandemic on racism and capitalism instead of China, according to a lesson plan obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Hardy Middle School teacher Caneisha Mills had her students host a "People's Tribunal on the Coronavirus Pandemic," whose "defendants" included racism, capitalism, and the United States government. "I wanted to … point out that the capitalist system was behind the pain, trauma, isolation, and destitution [my students] were facing," Mills said. "Capitalism, racism, and the U.S. government left us to die."
As part of the tribunal, students had to answer a series of leading questions about America's coronavirus response. "How does capitalism in the United States cause crises like the coronavirus and the flu pandemic of 1918," one worksheet asked. "If the government and capitalist system are guilty, what should be the ‘sentence'?"
The material also applauded China for its handling of the coronavirus without mentioning its authoritarian political system. China took "exactly the measures that a government should take in times of crisis," a handout for the exercise claimed, and "donated tons of medical supplies … to the United States."
Mills uploaded her lesson plan to the Zinn Education Project, a group named after the well-known socialist academic Howard Zinn. It boasts a following of more than 110,000 teachers and claims to be a "leading resource" in education. Noam Chomsky is among the supporters of the project.
Mills said the exercise drew inspiration from the Black Panthers, an anti-capitalist, black nationalist group founded in 1966. The Black Panthers' stated objectives include the release of all black people from prisons and the creation of a black-only colony.
According to Mills, her students "wanted to put Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and all members of the federal government in jail" for their handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The public school teacher said she felt assured by her students' desire to "fight against a racist capitalist system that harms us all."
Hardy Middle School did not respond to a request for comment.
Well, there’s little hope for most of them then. A poisoned mind can last a lifetime.
When the left tried to blame a hurricane on Bush I thought “That is too ridiculous for anyone to believe!”. Silly as it was it stuck. The left is pretty good at getting fools to believe outrageous lies.

According to Mills, her students “wanted to put Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and all members of the federal government in jail”...
That B.tch.
Meanwhile Trump was working on getting pro American history book into the schools.
So Much is riding on this election.
I have not lost faith.
All I can do is donate to defense, pray and wait.
But YES, you are right. The under 40 crowd has been terribly brainwashed, many of them.
I can’t believe what some college kids take as fact.
It’s terrifying
This would make sense...people that live under bridges and only drink stream water...never get sick off anything. Between the wild berries, bar-b-q’ed squirrels, and free cheese by the government guy...you can live safely.
The rot and the cancer is terminal

Caneisha Mills is our 8th grade U.S. History teacher at Hardy Middle School.
Her goal is not to “just facilitate schooling,” but she hopes to instill students with the skill of interpreting “facts” from the past to critically assess current events. This, she believes, is true education.
Originally from Morganton, North Carolina, Ms. Mills matriculated through Howard University receiving a Master’s of Education.
According to Mills, her students “wanted to put Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and all members of the federal government in jail” for their handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Not so good at root cause analysis though...
You think her problem is partly due to the Bell Curve?
Mention Communist China in a negative light, or as the source of coronavirus, earn a lifetime ban pretty much in any social media except perhaps here.
Does capitalism cause Ebola? Is malaria created by racism? Africa seems to have a lot of medical problems — do we blame black people for that? Or Europe? I mean, somebody must be to blame, right?
That she is sliding down the wrong side of it? Yes.
Hey dipshit, go line up for your loaf of bread for the next two hours along with two hundred other people. After a few weeks of that let us know that Covid thing is going. Then go line up with two hundred more symptomatic like minded nitwits and then tell us how that Soviet Style healthcare is working as well.
Chomsky is on my Airport List.
L
Maybe she needs to take these students on a field trip to a socialist country and see how things really are.
Fox News just booked her.
O-tay!
You know what? I agree.
China has slaves. Our American companies chose the slaves over their own neighbors because it was cheap.
China grew and then unleashed biological warfare against us.
None if this would have happened if we all shot on China for using slaves.
