“Give me a child until he is seven, and I will give you the man.”

DSA Already Embedding Its Political Message in Classrooms

The group is expanding its efforts to bring socialist messaging to children through childcare programs, political activities, and school board races.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) made huge political gains in the midterms. Having already captured the mayor’s office in New York City, the group is now working their political message into school classrooms.

American education is already rife with left-wing political indoctrination, but it’s about to get even worse.

FOX News reported:

From ‘Red Sprouts’ to school board races, DSA’s years-long effort to reach children gains momentum

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is taking its message into classrooms, childcare programs and school boards, urging organizers to approach childcare “from a socialist perspective” through initiatives such as Socialist Sprouts, and it’s been an initiative for years, a parental-rights watchdog warns.

In New York City, the DSA’s “Red Sprouts” program held a training session in October 2026 to equip organizers to provide “resistance-driven childcare” at demonstrations, meetings and community events.

The training encouraged participants to incorporate political themes into childcare through “radical storytelling,” “cooperative games” and age-appropriate discussions.

“There’s been a real influx in enthusiasm and their ability and desire to recruit and grow their movement,” American Parents Coalition leader Alleigh Marré told Fox News Digital. “What’s particularly concerning and insidious, is their direct efforts to apply that to not just adults, but to youth.”

Marré said the American Parents Coalition is working to equip parents with resources to identify and question political activism in schools, including through its “Lookout” initiative.

The New York City DSA chapter also established Comrades With Kids, a family-focused organizing group that seeks to be a “political and social home base for working-class families.” The group posted photos of DSA-themed coloring pages for children provided at a Zohran for Parents event in September 2025.

The New York initiatives are part of a larger effort by the DSA to incorporate childcare and political education into its organizing activities.

For years, the DSA’s National Political Education Committee has offered training on approaching childcare for activists “from a socialist perspective,” including activities for children at organizing events. In 2025, the committee outlined plans to develop a “Socialist Sprouts” curriculum geared for children, parents and caregivers involved in the movement.

Of course, most of the work’s already been done:

Left-wing brainwashing in academia has clearly had an impact on the younger generation, and a new poll of college students shows just how deep the rot goes.

The Buckley Institute's latest national survey of 803 undergraduates, conducted by Inquire LLC, paints a disturbing picture. Each finding is worse than the last.

Start with economics.

Asked which system they'd rather live under, 42% of students chose socialism, while only 28% picked capitalism and 30% had no opinion. That 14-point edge for socialism is the widest gap in the five years the institute has asked the question. These students have spent their entire lives enjoying the prosperity capitalism built, and they're itching to tear it down.

Nearly half, 47%, agreed that socialist countries like Cuba and the Soviet Union, flaws and all, offer a better economic model than the United States. Only 33% sided with American capitalism. The Soviet Union starved millions of its own people, and Cubans still risk their lives on rickety rafts to escape the Castro regime. Somebody taught these kids that tyranny is a reasonable alternative to freedom.

Then there's foreign policy.

Asked which is the better U.S. ally, 38% of students chose Palestine and just 25% chose Israel. That's a 9-point slide away from Israel since last year. America's most reliable democratic ally in the Middle East is losing ground on campus to a cause Hamas has spent years weaponizing.

As for race issues, 50% of students said America is inextricably tied to white supremacy and that most minorities remain locked out of the country's promise of equality. Only 39% said the nation keeps extending that promise to more people. That's the critical race theory script, recited back word for word by the students who absorbed it.
