"Few communists in our county are actual members of the communist party because they know that can get them canned from their government and teaching jobs.
Actually, being a Communist is not against the law in this country, nor can anyone be fired for being a Communist and being a public school teacher. Nor can they be fired for being a member of the Green Party or any other political party.
You seem to be living in another country that the USA, where people are free to hold unpopular political positions.
You may not like the fact that people can hold political views far from yours, but that does not mean they are breaking any laws.
I disagree with those positions, but I swore an oath when I joined the USAF to defend those people's right to hold any political position they wish, as long as they do not try to overthrow the government by force.
Lots of people disagree with me, but are still US citizens, with all the rights pertaining to that citizenship, even if I think their views are wrong.
