After witnessing how communists imposed their radical ideology during China’s Cultural Revolution, never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever see the same sort of indoctrination taking place in American schools. But, to my horror, that is precisely what has come to pass.

We cannot ignore how Marxist ideology destroyed China’s soul during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and ’70s and how similar ideologies threaten the U.S. today. As soon as the Chinese Communist Party came to power in 1949, it began to rewrite history to fit its Marxist narrative. In 1962, Chairman Mao Zedong launched nationwide class struggle education that categorized those deemed to be prosperous as “oppressors” or “class enemies,” while calling peasants and workers “the oppressed.”
