Do people really want to deny the simple fact that Communism is trying to squeeze it's way into this country through our public schools? Take a look at this propaganda gem that was handed out to students in an Iowa high school. I like how they try and portray Communism as some fairness utopia, when in fact it has ALWAYS been the opposite all throughout history. We are seeing the attempts at a Communist revolution right before our very eyes.

Quote:
The CAPITALISM side of the flyer shows workers in tattered clothing, chained to a machine that delivers all of the money produced to a cigar-smoking man who is also much better dressed.
Over on the COMMUNISM side, there is no boss and the smiling workers are better dressed, don’t have chains on their legs and the money goes back to them.

I know the Lefties/Commies on this forum don't like the blaze but the story came from an Iowa radio station here:


Capitalism v Communism at Roosevelt High School: | Simon Conway - Newsradio 1040 WHO

I'll bet it was not a picture of the communism practiced over in China.
Did they show the dorms the workers live in on the company property ?

There is NO Utopia. You make your own utopia in life, no one is going to create it for you.

No where does this say it was handed out by teachers or the school. No one has any idea where it came from, only loons seem to care.

You do know that students also have access to the internet, books, printers, computers, and paper?

They aren't taken outside and beaten if they don't write about political ideas you don't like in unflattering ways.

Talk about raging paranoia and delusion. Talk about jumping to silly conclusions

Are we trying to run back to McCarthyism again?

So a high schooler passed out a political cartoon flyer, this is what constitutes news?

The radio host contacted the school about the flyer handed out to students studying the Cold War. The school said only the Principal could comment on it. The radio host is waiting for the Principal to call him back.
The school did not deny it was handed out in class. A parent of a student sent it to the radio host.

Neither confirming or denying anything about the flyer is from the school is any proof the school did. All you have is an unconfirmed word.

You have the word of the host that it was sent to him from a person claiming to be a parent of a student.

For all you know I could have sent it to the radio host, or anyone else.

The students have not confirmed or denied passing out the flyer either, I guess they are guilty of it.

Where does it say a high schooler passed it out ?

I don't think we know enough about this and we are all jumping to our own conclusions.

The high school students have not denied or confirmed. You used that same argument for the administration, why can't we use it for the student body?
