Colorado Teachers Union Passes Resolution Claiming Capitalism ‘Exploits Children and Public Schools’
“We are constantly using band-aids and minor reforms to make things better, which is good, but the system itself is the problem, and it needs to be named”
Since when is this the concern of a teacher union? These people are radicals and they’re coming right out and saying it.
FOX News reports:
Colorado teachers union passes resolution declaring capitalism ‘inherently exploits children, public schools’
The Colorado Education Association [CEA] reportedly passed a resolution that declares that “capitalism inherently exploits children, public schools, land, labor, and resources.”
A final version of the resolution that was passed states that “CEA believes that capitalism requires exploitation of children, public schools, land, labor, and/or resources. Capitalism is in opposition to fully addressing systemic racism (the school to prison pipeline), climate change, patriarchy, (gender and LGBTQ disparities), education inequality, and income inequality.
However, a screenshot captures an earlier draft of the resolution that included a call to replace capitalism with a “new equitable economic system.”
The screenshot of the original version of the resolutions reads “CEA believes that capitalism requires exploitation of children, public schools, land, labor, and/or resources and, therefore, the only way to fully address systemic racism (the school to prison pipeline), climate change, patriarchy (gender and LGBTQ disparities), education inequality, and income inequality is to dismantle capitalism and replace it with a new, equitable economic system.”
“We are constantly using band-aids and minor reforms to make things better, which is good, but the system itself is the problem, and it needs to be named,” a statement under the resolution reads.
A former federal official sent a screenshot of the original version to an outlet called The Lion, which obtained the document first. The Lion “sent the screenshot to Lauren Stephenson, director of communications at the CEA, who belatedly admitted to the original resolution. She sent the Lion the revised form of the resolution that passed the assembly.” The CEA had previously decided not to disclose the resolution, citing “process” and privacy concerns.

“the only way to fully address systemic racism (the school to prison pipeline)”
If we were systemically racist, why would we waste money educating them?
Nothing exploits as well as leftism.
It will be interesting to see if/whether the Colorado school system self-destructs
They say this because they imagine under the “new just economic system” they will be in charge and enriched.
IOW, useful idiots.
The only one I see exploiting children is Biden and his open border policy. Many illegal alien children have been found working in slaughter houses and the like.
