Thanks for the link, and keep up the vigilance. It helps! It was mostly neutral, although the submitted lesson plans had one or two inklings of individual teacher preferences. Before I even looked through it, though, I would've agreed with you that most educational organizations are incredibly Leftist and are actively Progressive movements. I was just defending a rather innocent-looking curriculum description. The body that came up with it probably has major connections to Socialist movements, and probably has many methods for promoting them within that curriculum... but any decent teacher could also use that syllabus to teach a balanced (or even unabashedly capitalist-leaning!) class.

Of course I think the reason the FTE is supporting the Sea Cadets is more nefarious. I just don't trust the fact that this group(FTE) seemingly has nothing in common with the Sea Cadets program. It just doesn't make sense. Here's the Sea Cadets link, you can see for yourself.
Sea Cadets
I will of course keep looking to see if I can find more information.
