A teacher was caught on camera bragging about how he uses Stalin, Mao, and Castro to “scare” his students and “retrain” their thinking. The school district responded, and it’s even more disturbing than parents initially thought.
An undercover journalist captured California AP Government teacher Gabriel Gipe divulging every sleazy tactic he uses to mold children into “revolutionaries.” The Inderkum High School educator explains that he has to “scare the f— out of them” early on because he only has “180 days to turn them into revolutionaries.”
“And so like I do it for extra credit. So, they (students) get points for doing it.. When they go [to Antifa events], they take pictures, write up a reflection — that’s their extra credit,” Gipe says.
While we’re used to seeing leftist extremists dressed in black and fire-bombing police and buildings, it’s the ones who are sitting behind the desks in our classrooms that pose the biggest threat. Thanks to the exposé by Project Veritas, we have a glimpse as to just how deeply this ideology has infected the school system.
Gipe goes into great detail to explain the psychological manipulation he uses to persuade the children to conform to the far-left view. He admits that he even singles out students and labels them as fascists if they question his use of communist propaganda.
“I have an Antifa flag on my [classroom] wall and a student complained about that — he said it made him feel uncomfortable. Well, this [Antifa flag] is meant to make fascists feel uncomfortable, so if you feel uncomfortable, I don’t really know what to tell you. Maybe you shouldn’t be aligning with the values that this [Antifa flag] is antithetical to,” he says.
Photos taken in Gipe’s classroom show his usage of communist propaganda posters, including ones glorifying the most murderous regimes in history. He also claims to give students political tests and exposes their personal beliefs to their peers as a means of making them “further left.”
“So, they [students] take an ideology quiz and I put [the results] on the [classroom] wall. Every year, they get further and further left…I’m like, ‘These ideologies are considered extreme, right? Extreme times breed extreme ideologies.’ Right? There is a reason why Generation Z, these kids, are becoming further and further left,” he says.
In the video, a poster of Communist Chinese dictator Mao Zedong can be seen on the wall of Gipe’s classroom. For reference, Zedong was responsible for the deaths of up to 80 million people via widespread famine, prison labor, and mass execution. Gipe knows this, saying that some people were “shot in the streets that probably shouldn’t have,” but admits he still admires the murderous regime.
“You need propaganda of the deed — your economics — and cultural propaganda as well. You need to retrain the way people think. So, the Cultural Revolution in the 60s was fixing the problem that came about after the economic one,” he says.
Gipe repeatedly admits that he uses communist propaganda as a teaching tool in the hopes that his students will become the next political martyrs.
“I think that for [left-wing] movements in the United States, we need to be able to attack both [cultural and economic] fronts. Right? We need to create parallel structures of power because we cannot rely on the state…Consistently focusing on education and a change of cultural propaganda. We have to hit both fronts. We have to convince people that this is what we actually need.”
After Project Veritas leaked the footage, the school was forced to respond. Due to the uproar from the community, the Natomas Unified School District had no choice but to remove Gipe from his teaching position.
Superintendent Chris Evans wrote to the community that the district placed Gipe on unpaid leave and will fire him, The Blaze reports. At the same time, however, he trivialized the disturbing propaganda Gipe was using in the classroom.
“This morning, the walls of the classroom were cleared of all posters and signage. Not all of the material was inappropriate. However, the district believes the physical learning environment can best be rebuilt from a total fresh start,” Evans wrote. “Additionally, the teacher, using his own money, purchased a series of rubber stamps. These stamps include an inappropriate image of Josef Stalin with an insensitive phrase, as well as other stamps with Fidel Castro, Kim Jung Un and others.”
As terrifying as Gipe’s admissions are, the most disturbing reality is that he isn’t an anomaly. His beliefs are festering in the education system right under our noses.
He may be gone, but for every Gipe fired there are three more teachers just like him, as he said, flying under the radar. The only way to combat the murderous disease of communist ideology is to get involved in our school systems.
