Get them in childhood, you’ll have them for the rest of their impoverished, ruined lives.
/The Democratic Socialists of America are plotting a radical takeover of NYC public schools, with comrades admitting they want to mold a new generation of baby Bolsheviks, The Post has learned.
Maureen Fadem — yet another nutty professor working for a CUNY school — called for kids to be educated in a “democratic socialist frame” and to be taught the Godfathers of Communism Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, despite their writing inspiring some of the most murderous dictators in history, from Stalin to Mao.
“We need to overhaul the curriculum in a class consciousness frame. . . . The curriculum as a whole needs to be relooked at, revisioned and reframed,” the CUNY Kingsborough Community College professor said.
In addition to students being schooled in “class consciousness” — the radical Marxist idea that business owners are at war with their workers and all private property should be revoked — Fadem also said that teachers must be educated in “race consciousness.”
The socialist is among a rogues’ gallery of controversial CUNY professors — some with criminal charges — employed by the taxpayer-funded university system. Fadem has argued for slavery reparations and says school curricula has been shaped by a conservative perspective.
“The curriculum was built not under a democratic socialist frame, it was built under a neoliberal and conservative frame,” she said.
The meeting, titled “Planning for Socialist School Governance,” was led by NYC DSA Labor Working Group co-chair Nina Bruckenthal, a math teacher at NEST+m, a public science-oriented K-12 school on the Lower East Side, and Amanda Vender, an ESL teacher at the International High School of Sciences in Elmhurst, Queens.
The group plotted free childcare and education from cradle to PhD.
Another teacher warned that the organization’s revolutionary agenda could cause parents to flee the public school system and opt to enroll their kids in charter schools instead — and urged the DSA to fight school choice and “strengthen the UFT.”
“All of our reforms are obviously not very popular. And so as long as school choice exists, parents are going to pull away and go to charter schools that are ununionized because they believe in that,” one teacher admitted.
The DSA educators vowed to use their connections to fellow socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani to get their agenda through, and also conspired to use upcoming contract negotiations to realize their far-left goals.
“DSA does have a relationship with the mayor and we can leverage that,” Bruckenthal said.
They also pledged to insert their demands into upcoming contract negotiations between the United Federation of Teachers and NYC.

It’s a shame I can’t figure out a way to transfer the pictures I found in the Communism for Kids book I downloaded onto my Kindle, particularly the final one that depicts a happy, joyous little Chinese girl, beribboned pigtails, happy smile on her face, skipping through a field of wildflowers. “A new, better world”. Without her grandparents, alas, who starved to death during Mao’s Great Leap Forward.
Despite my inability to post directly from Kindle, here are a few pictures from Amazon’s own "preview” page:
