Darren the teacher-blogger reports on the California public school system:
Usually I wear Dockers-type pants and a collared shirt to school, but on Fridays I go a little more casual. Usually that means changing from slacks to jeans, but today it included wearing a printed t-shirt saying "Commies Aren't Cool", and underneath the writing is a small picture of Che Guevara in a red "no" circle/slash.
Students I don't even know come up to me and tell me they love the shirt, which should tell you a little something about the message they're used to getting from teachers. We even have a teacher who wears a full-on Che Guevara shirt, speaks openly and positively about the workers' paradise that is Cuba, etc. It is with him I got into a conversation this morning.
Oh, he's a nice guy, and we both enjoy our debates, but he's a commie. He says he's a "socialist", but he's a commie. Today I actually got him to admit it, and then I told him that he can't be employed here.
You see, California doesn't allow Communists to be teachers.
and
I found a few sections of California Education Code that address this topic:
Section 44932. (a) No permanent employee shall be dismissed except for one or more of the following causes:
(10) Knowing membership by the employee in the Communist Party.
You'll want to read this whole post just to see what your tax dollars go to.There seems be to a pattern here: the lack of industrial workers in the communist movement.Fidel and Gorbachev were lawyers,Marx had a Ph.D. in philosophy.Che was a doctor.Alger Hiss was a lawyer.It appears communism is a movement of overfed intellectuals with an insatiable demand for coercive power.
