China is funding America's public schools to the tune of $17 million dollars, it has been revealed, with Republicans now probing the disturbing donations.
The report by Parents Defending Education states that the close coordination between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and U.S. schools to establish Confucius Classrooms has historically included 143 school districts in 34 states and Washington, D.C.
In addition, at least seven contracts are still active in Texas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Oregon and Washington.
The report called 'Little Red Classrooms' reveals that $17 million has been funneled from CCP-connected financial institutions into U.S. K-12 schools, through Confucius Institutes and other cultural and language programs.
It also states that the CCP has 'ties to school districts near 20 U.S. military bases' and three of the nation's top science and technology high schools have been infiltrated.
'While the United States is not officially part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese state media has touted the work done by Confucius Institutes and Confucius Classrooms to further the Chinese Communist Party’s global influence,' the report continues.
China has facilitated these relationships through grants and sister school partnerships going back to 2009. Programming and funding has varied between school districts, the report adds.
PDE President Nicki Neily said in a statement that the 'alarming evidence' uncovered by the investigation should 'concern parents, educators, and policymakers alike.'
The report has been given to state and federal lawmakers in the hopes that it will spur action.
Rep. Jim Banks is demanding the Education Department take action with 'urgency' in in order to terminate these 'disturbing' partnerships, he says in a letter to Sec. Miguel Cardona on Wednesday obtained by DailyMail.com.
'The Chinese Communist Party is not a trustworthy partner. Accepting funding and influence from our greatest adversary is a threat to America’s children...

But what are they actually teaching? If it’s Confucius philosophy versus American tranny crap, gimme the Chinese stuff any day!
They are teaching collectivism, compliance, and contempt for anything that questions their message.
A republican probe sparked on how to get $17 Million for themselves? $17 Million seems to be the new threshold for bribery absolution. You extort $17 million and you get a free pass.
“sparking a Republican probe”
Thankfully the schools were NOT run by Communists until China got involved...at least as implied by the Republicans.
There are 130,930 schools k-12 school in the US, and China gave money to 143? So about 0.1%? Forgive me for not falling over with fear over this influence game.
And I thought it was illegals coming thru across the border.
Oh how dumb we have been.
Not a shock...
Why would anyone think that global communists would miss out on anything, anywhere, that promotes the cause...
Now that the U.S. government is in total control of the communists, you can bet that the chicoms were encouraged by the U.S. government to contribute to its children’s indoctrination...
Bingo!
It certainly started more than 20 years ago. On the first day of kindergarten all the students placed their carefully and proudly bought new learning tools on a central table and the tools were then "redistributed" amongst the class evenly.
A lot of parents slept through that cute little marxist trick and I wouldn't be surprised to hear it still goes on.
Minnesota. That figures.
It is not so simple.
It appears most likely they are teaching and promoting both. After all, if you were them wouldn't you teach both and even more?
Amongst a long list of things, they are a clever people. We ignore, underestimate or embrace them as they currently are at our peril.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list.

If you could plan the perfect war, it would be one that would completely destroy your enemy without any cost to your troops or infrastructure. Two recent news reports could be read to mean that China is preparing precisely that kind of war against the United States.
