According to reporting by City Journal, California’s Department of Education has approved an “ethnic studies model.” This curriculum contains programs that advocate “decolonizing” the USA (open borders) and “liberating” students from capitalism, patriarchy, and “settler colonialism.”
The California vision is not new. In fact it is directly cribbed from that old rascal Mao Zedong. Back in 1966, the Chinese Communist dictator, whose hobby was mass murder, stood in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square waving to hundreds of thousands of “Red Guards,” students who were rooting out all cultural opposition to Mao’s reign of terror.
The young people destroyed books and art deemed not to be red enough. They renamed streets and destroyed statues. They burned anything religious. About seven thousand pieces of private property were demolished because China had outlawed private property.
