Now China is funding America's PUBLIC SCHOOLS: Communist nation has channeled $17M into more than 143 K-12 districts - sparking GOP probe

China is funding America's public schools to the tune of $17 million dollars, it has been revealed, with Republicans now probing the disturbing donations.  

The report by Parents Defending Education states that the close coordination between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and U.S. schools to establish Confucius Classrooms has historically included 143 school districts in 34 states and Washington, D.C. 

In addition, at least seven contracts are still active in Texas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Oregon and Washington.

The report called 'Little Red Classrooms' reveals that $17 million has been funneled from CCP-connected financial institutions into U.S. K-12 schools, through Confucius Institutes and other cultural and language programs.

It also states that the CCP has 'ties to school districts near 20 U.S. military bases' and three of the nation's top science and technology high schools have been infiltrated.

'While the United States is not officially part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese state media has touted the work done by Confucius Institutes and Confucius Classrooms to further the Chinese Communist Party’s global influence,' the report continues.

China has facilitated these relationships through grants and sister school partnerships going back to 2009. Programming and funding has varied between school districts, the report adds.

PDE President Nicki Neily said in a statement that the 'alarming evidence' uncovered by the investigation should 'concern parents, educators, and policymakers alike.'

The report has been given to state and federal lawmakers in the hopes that it will spur action.

Rep. Jim Banks is demanding the Education Department take action with 'urgency' in in order to terminate these 'disturbing' partnerships, he says in a letter to Sec. Miguel Cardona on Wednesday obtained by DailyMail.com.

'The Chinese Communist Party is not a trustworthy partner. Accepting funding and influence from our greatest adversary is a threat to America’s children

No surprise here, China paid the Marxist Dems and Bidens for a free rein across the USA and they are taking advantage of it. Seems the whole Swamp have been paid off by China. America needs Trump’s dynamic genius more than ever.

I believe it was Khrushchev (please correct me if I am wrong) who said they would take over without firing a shot. Not sure if he meant Russia, or communism in general.

The mechanism for destruction of our nation is in the freedom and Constitution of our nation. Anybody can do anything and we let them. It is their “right” and we have allowed it to morph into a weapon to destroy us.

I know China’s pushing transgenderism thru TikTok. Are they also pushing porn for school kids and 2+2=5 math books?

Having Secy of Education Cardona do anything pro-America is like asking Hitler to join in a Passover celebration/dinner.

I already said I wanted ‘em gone, you didn’t have to try to sell this to me too. /s

Yes, I have zero prob. w/ destroying ‘em, it’s the destruction of the youth I abhor (but, the Left/Stat/Global-ists seem to be doing that well enough w/ the CCP as it is)

China is working to weaken the USA to be the sole superpower.
Who ever thought this out was a long term strategic thinker.
Weaken their main enemy while at the same time, politely take over most of the third world countries through the belt and road program.

Teachers Unions are doing a spectacular job of destruction already (no doubt the Red Chinese are kicking a few $$ their way, too).
