Quote:Radio host Michael Knowles said on "Fox & Friends" that Democratic Socialists are urging Socialists to become teachers because they can't win a "fair fight."

A pamphlet by the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), in conjunction with the Democratic Socialist Labor Commission, outlines a push for socialists to "take jobs as teachers" as a way to move teachers unions "in a more militant and democratic direction."

Knowles said that according to numerous surveys, "the blood-soaked history" of socialism is unknown by millennials, leading them to identify as supporters of the movement.

Campus Reform reported that the YDSA's 11-page pamphlet notes teachers are able to use their relationships with students to discuss “campaigns around police brutality, immigrant rights, and environmental justice.”

The Democratic Socialist platform was championed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) two years ago on the campaign trail.

Using the same platform, young political newcomer Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won a shock victory in June over Rep. Joe Crowley (N.Y.) in a Democratic primary.

A new poll also revealed that more Democrats have a positive view about socialism than those who express a positive view about capitalism.

Knowles said Saturday that he believes Democratic Socialists are targeting the teaching industry and as a result, students, because they can't win against adults.

"They can't win in the battle of ideas," he said.

He said that instead, Democratic Socialists are trying to cut off any thought of freedom by students and replace it with socialist ideology.

"They've got to indoctrinate an ideology rather than educate in history because if they teach history, they're going to lose," he said.

The pamphlet notes that organizing in schools is a way to "win concessions from the millionaire and billionaire class."

“Teaching is proving to be one viable way for socialists to get into the labor movement and wage class struggle in a key industry that is under attack by capital,” it reads.

Hands are reaching for my wallet.

Too bad this didn't happen when I was in high school.

Those teachers would have checked themselves into a mental ward.

Oh, was I ever piss and vinegar right wing crazy. At 14. Add in a bunch of G. Gordon Muddy influence at 16 and yeah, teachers were glad to see me go.

Hells bells they've owned the public education system since the 80's. It's just now there are so few actual educators left in the public school systems that they are running wild and looking kookier than ever! I don't see how it could get more socialist than it is already except that this generation of kids has carefully been cut off from working while still in high school so all they understand is Mom & Dad pay for my stuff and give me an allowance. There's not a better breeding ground for socialists than that kind of home life for a teenager.

So by the time they get the left wing whackoes for their college course work their everybody owes me world view is locked into place!
