Mamdani’s Socialists Push to Educate Public Schoolers on ‘Race’ and ‘Class Consciousness’

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in New York City —which backed New York City Zohran Mamdani and played a part in his get out the vote effort—among its plans to abolish the presidency, prisons, and the Supreme Court, has also revealed plans to overhaul New York City’s school system in a leaked meeting, per the New York Post.

Maureen Fadem, a professor at a CUNY school, called for the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels to be taught in schools.

One teacher at the meeting warned that the organization’s agenda could drive parents away from public schools and increase enrollment in charter schools.

“All of our reforms are obviously not very popular. And so as long as school choice exists, parents are going to pull away and go to charter schools that are unionized because they believe in that,” the teacher said.

The educators implied they could use their connections with Mamdani to help fast-track their agenda.
