PROTECT YOUR DNA WITH QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayPublic schools—really, they should be called "government schools"—long ago gave up the idea that they existed solely to educate children.
I really can't say exactly when, if there is a definitive "when," this transformation occurred. I suspect it happened in much the same way that bankruptcy does: slowly, then all at once.
A day of “civil action” for students.
Indoctrination Day!
99% of teachers unions political donations are to Dems.
Dem run Chicago has increased spending by 97%.

Math down 78%
Reading down 63%
Only 11% of Chicago HS students are proficient in reading.

Few school systems are more exemplary of the decline of public schools and their transformation into communist indoctrination camps than Chicago's.
The Chicago Teachers' Union basically runs the City of Chicago now, with Mayor Brandon Johnson, a former union leader, stripping the city of resources as it declines into a failed city on the verge of bankruptcy. It is also a proudly communist institution that doesn't focus on teaching students things like how to read or do math, but on how to become political revolutionaries.
During COVID, no union fought harder or more viciously to keep schools closed, and now that in-person schooling is back, the teachers fight hard to close them again for anything other than political indoctrination.

— New York Post (@nypost) April 20, 2026Case in point: the successful fight to turn May Day, the communist holiday on which the old Soviet Union paraded, into a "Day of Civic Action," on which students participate in political protests along with socialists. They make signs, protest against capitalism, and presumably work toward the day when the Bolsheviks take over America.

The school board initially fought the idea because, well, the new superintendent thought that kids who can't read or do math should be in the classroom, as if leaving them in the hands of teachers who themselves can barely read, write, or do math would do any good.
But she lost the battle, because of course she did. The CTU runs the city. She lost so badly that all the district's resources are being mobilized to support the "field trips" to protests as if they were part of the kids' educations.
CPS has agreed to declare May Day a Day of Civic Action, with buses to the Union Park rally, no retaliation for participants, joint lobbying in Springfield, and future May Days protected as teacher-directed PD days.

It really is the most public-school thing ever, and could only be topped by requiring boys to wear dresses, "tucking" their underwear, and high heels, and girls to wear breast binders.
The CTU won. Students will participate in a "Civic Day of Action" where they be able make pro-labor, pro-Palestine, anti-ICE and anti-Trump posters and then parade them around their neighborhoods.

The new CPS Superintendent was just put in her place by the mayor, the union, and her board - she has zero power.
Chicago is hardly unique in this approach to what makes government-run education systems so destructive. Teachers around the country are building up a movement to duplicate the curricular shift.
Teachers unions are recruiting high schoolers to skip school to 'fight capitalism' and 'overthrow billionaires'https://t.co/JhVWljQb5O
— Mass Daily News (@MassDailyNews) April 20, 2026Teaching kids the normal subjects is, apparently, too time-consuming and difficult for the current crop of teachers, and obviously too boring for people who see their real mission as forwarding The Revolution.
Portland Maine Schools To Slash STEM/Latin & More
Teachers and residents are baffled as their elected Leftist officials slash critical positions like math, science, engineering, Latin(important for science) - and replaced with roles like "cultural studies" or "civil rights".… pic.twitter.com/hSd7oT2Jqa
Chicago is leading the way, but a long parade of public schools marches behind it.
A high school teachers union, wearing Keffiyehs, discuss how to groom children even earlier:
“Everyone who raised your hand and said that you got radicalized in college—imagine if you got radicalized four years earlier?”
The goal is simple: to make students as ignorant and pliant as possible, and to form the ground troops for the coming anti-colonial revolution.
Sorry, all I could find was a negative correlation between increased school funding and student performance. https://t.co/2o5vNyo3r9 pic.twitter.com/Q9roEgF1r3
