Communist Goals - 1963 Congressional Record

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

The children of the sixties are many of the California teachers of today. And they are not much more mature than their students. The teachers say that their students only "relate" to youth culture. But the real reason they use it as a "teaching tool" is that they never left it.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

Hip hop is literature, a "worthy subject of study in its own right," say Jeffrey Duncan-Andrade and Ernest Morrell, who teach an English course at an Oakland high school. Student Lisa Moore nods in agreement. "As far as Shakespeare goes, we can't relate to that. We can relate to what's going on now," she said to the Times.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

"Blaze up, gettin' with hos through my pager"

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

"This is just one instance in how teachers should be engaging their students to see how history is not just something of the past but it's something they create."

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

California parents find themselves in the strange position of having to tell teachers not to listen to rap.

Classical education is starting to gain in popularity. There are even a few public school charters that use a classical curriculum. It's certainly popular with homeschoolers.

Guess who is going to win?
