The Trump administration ordered the Department of Education building to be vacated by 6:00 PM and closed the following day. The speaker asserts that massive cuts and layoffs are expected at the Department of Education. The speaker claims that eliminating the Department of Education is a primary goal of Project 2025, with the aim to cut education funding to the states. According to the speaker, the Trump administration and Christian nationalists want an uneducated populace to make them easier to control as slave labor for billionaires. They allegedly don't want people to have critical thinking skills because an uneducated populace is easier to control.

Lorena German, author of "The Anti Racist Teacher," advocates using literacy education to address institutional racism in America. She endorses books like Ibrahim X. Kendi's "How to Be an Antiracist." The speaker questions why there is no protest against such content in schools. Referring to an NBC article about PragerU, they criticize the description of PragerU as dangerous propaganda and highlight the authority these lessons have over the education system. The speaker concludes that as these ideas enter classrooms, there is a senseless backlash and attack against them.

The speaker expresses concern that current events resemble Nazi Germany and stresses the need for preparedness. They introduce the "Red Folder Project," which aims to prepare individuals' documents to overwhelm the courts if people are detained. The goal is to mobilize resources and secure legal representation promptly. Despite the grim situation, the speaker notes that people are uniting to take action.

The speaker claims the rise of certain issues in localities nationwide originates with the unelected US Department of Education. This department allegedly uses its $83 billion budget to pressure schools into adopting "toxic ideologies" by threatening to withhold federal funding. The speaker states they are the first US presidential candidate to propose abolishing the Department of Education. They argue that 25% of the department's budget could fund three armed security guards in every school across the nation, which they present as a superior use of funds.

The administration is fighting to remove critical race theory from school districts. Children will be taught to love America, be patriots, and embrace civic values to receive federal taxpayer funding. As the Department of Education closes and funding is provided to states, the administration will ensure funds are not used to promote communist ideology. A nation cannot teach its children to hate themselves and their country to be successful.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of teachers attending workshops and then disseminating the information within their schools. This is to saturate the schools with critical information. The speaker references Border Czar saying that "Know Your Rights" workshops are effective and are slowing down the machinery of the fascists. The speaker urges listeners to heed this message and continue empowering people to know their rights.

Now is the time for teachers to get in the streets. Opportunities to do so are coming up on April 5 and May 1. Building power requires teachers, particularly white teachers with privilege, to get into the streets in ways they haven't before. This will show a willingness to do more to stop what is going on. Because this situation is unprecedented, bigger steps are needed. More teachers need to be out in the streets to slow this monster down.

Speaker 0 argues that the crooked foundation of the public school system makes university indoctrination possible, asserting that everything in school is filtered through a Marxist lens of oppressed versus oppressors. The speaker claims schools introduce gender ideology, with opponents framed as intolerant; introduce critical race theory, with opponents framed as racist; introduce feminism, with opponents labeled misogynist or part of the patriarchy; and introduce socialism, with opponents described as privileged. The speaker contends that this influence is often subtle rather than overt, embedded in curriculum. An example given is how slavery is taught in elementary school. The speaker acknowledges general agreement that slavery was bad but argues that curricula omit broader historical context. Specifically, they state that The United States banned slavery in seven states while the rest of the world had bans in seven countries; in seventeen seventy six, 92–95% of the world was actively practicing slavery and it was the norm on every continent. The speaker also notes that Thomas Jefferson tried to get slavery abolished in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, that England abolished slavery in 1833, the United States in 1865, and that the rest of the world followed that example in Africa and Asia. The claim is that within proper historical context, the American story is one of liberation. The speaker asserts that the Marxist lens requires the oppressed versus the oppressors, and that if these arguments were made in school, a student would be failed, shamed in front of the class, and possibly sent to the principal’s office. The claim is that the system is designed to keep America divided so it could be easily conquered. Addressing critics, the speaker mentions the Frankfurt School, stating it expanded the ideas of Marxism, developed the oppressed-versus-oppressor framework, and aimed to use race, gender, and sexuality to usher in cultural Marxism. The speaker contends this infiltration began in academia in the nineteen-sixties, and attributes today’s situation to those developments. Note: Promotional content at the end has been omitted.

Jesse Hagopian, a teacher in Seattle, commends the work of teachers in Florida who are defying laws to discuss systemic racism. He highlights how Florida's ban on African American Studies curriculum led to the removal of the word "systemic" from the course. Hagopian warns that Florida's laws, such as the ban on discussing LGBTQ+ topics, are being exported to other states. He draws parallels between the current situation and the McCarthy era, where teachers were fired for being labeled communist or homosexual. Hagopian believes that the civil rights movement and LGBTQ+ liberation are crucial in combating these oppressive laws. He expresses concern about the possibility of teachers being jailed and offers his support to those facing felony charges.

There's concern about teaching a biased version of history. But, despite state standards and other influences, we prioritize doing what's right for the kids in our district. For example, we avoid explicitly stating that we teach Next Generation Science Standards to avoid scrutiny, but we still cover the material. Essentially, we navigate the requirements carefully. They can't fully control what we teach. At the end of the day, we do what's right by closing the door and teaching the correct information. That's our approach.

Trump understands that control of education is the fastest path to authoritarianism and fascism, therefore he is assaulting educators and using education to open the door to fascism. "We protect us" must be a strategy, not just a slogan. Legal strategies alone are insufficient because Trump disregards the law. A broader strategy is needed, similar to the social movement that ended McCarthyism, requiring a mass multiracial movement. The Teach Truth National Day of Action on June 7 is an opportunity for educators, unions, parents, students, and others to show solidarity and resist authoritarianism. Resources for setting up ban book tables, teach-ins, and walking tours are available on the ZYN Education Project website.

If you live in California, pull your kids out of public school because it's unfixable and will worsen. In one district, dozens of girls reported being assaulted on campus. The board of education members belong to Project Indivisible, so change is unlikely. The speaker worked for the district for two years and witnessed unbelievable things. After speaking out at board and city council meetings and meeting with the district office, the speaker was stalked, harassed, and chased off the road. The speaker advises, "These are not seeing people you're dealing with. Pull your kids out."

The speaker states President Trump is committed to eliminating antisemitism, which they claim is rampant. They assert the Biden/Garland administration did nothing to address it. The speaker says that under their leadership in the DOJ, the federal government is suing universities guilty of antisemitism under Title VI, with the goal of bankrupting them by taking away federal dollars. They mention an investigation into the entire UC system in California, citing harassment of both students and employees. The speaker believes the academic system has been hijacked by the left and Marxists, influencing young people from K-12 onwards. They express embarrassment at what happened at UCLA, their alma mater. They criticize local officials in blue cities for allegedly turning their backs on Jewish Americans and are sending letters to mayors and DAs of major cities, threatening federal intervention and hate crime charges. The speaker says they are targeting 13 schools and plan to remove professional agitators and expel students involved in antisemitic acts. They warn universities to cooperate or face federal action.

We are here with BAM, a civil rights and immigrant rights group, to discuss defeating Donald Trump and his fascist movement. Trump plans mass deportations and supports the January 6 rioters. We must take action against ICE terror in our communities and build defenses against raids and deportations. The Lincoln Riley bill, which targets immigrants, needs to be defeated. While there are concerns about crime, it's important to recognize that crime occurs everywhere and linking it solely to illegal immigrants is racist. We advocate for open borders and citizenship rights for all, regardless of immigration status.

The NEA has been fighting attacks on immigrant rights, including the removal of safe zones, which previously limited ICE access to schools and churches. Now, ICE agents are reportedly abducting students and faculty, even grade school children, causing fear and disrupting education. There are also threats to defund schools through Title VI enforcement, starting with higher education. To combat this, schools should develop safe zone policies. Under Plyler versus Doe, all students have a constitutional right to attend public school, and schools should not collect immigration status information. Schools should designate a person to verify the authority of ICE agents before allowing them on the property, distinguishing between judicial and administrative warrants. Universities and colleges should also designate public and private areas on campus. Red cards, available in multiple languages, can be used to assert the right to remain silent and demand a judicial warrant when confronted by immigration enforcement.

As a public school teacher, I have no information about my students' backgrounds or whereabouts. In education, especially with vulnerable populations, it's crucial to understand your rights and those of your students regarding immigration. Safe spaces for medical care and education are now at risk due to ICE raids. It's important to remain cautious and not disclose any information. If you voted for policies that harm your students, you shouldn't be in education. Teaching is intertwined with social work; if you can't connect your voting choices to the experiences of your students, you shouldn't be teaching.

Incarceration, even for a few days, is traumatic, and the speaker's plan involves reducing incarceration. The speaker also advocates for demilitarizing schools by removing police officers. They emphasize the need to address and speak truthfully about the inequities in school discipline.

Speaker 0 introduces themselves as Adena and mentions calling someone's name. Speaker 1, a teacher in the district, talks about their involvement in LUSD and their work with queer trans youth at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. They discuss the trauma faced by these youth due to the oppressive systems they live in. Speaker 1 supports critical race theory and diversity inclusion equity training, highlighting how white people benefit from social welfare programs but ignore issues like the housing crisis and the Armenian genocide. They also mention the struggles of oppressed trans youth, including high suicide rates and early recognition of their gender identity.

The speaker is co-chair of the trans and non-binary network of the NEU, a teacher at an alternative provision where most students are trans and non-binary, and an activist. The speaker clarifies they did not make their students trans; the school was like that when they arrived. These students come to the alternative provision because they are kicked out of the mainstream education system. Their gender expression is seen as a dismissal of behavior policy, their self-advocacy is seen as defiance, and their identity is seen as something worth anguish, not pride. The speaker and colleagues work to help students through trauma and show them that learning does not need to be an act of silencing. The speaker believes the current government's guidance is despicable and that there is no reason why students cannot be themselves in classrooms. The speaker urges the audience to speak to MPs, friends, families, Facebook groups, and local clubs. The speaker wants to tell their students that when systems fail to protect them, they fight back.

The speaker claims current tactics resemble the McCarthy era, including the red and lavender scares. During that time, thousands of educators were fired for being accused of being communists or homosexual. Teaching about inequality or race was considered communist activity, leading to blacklisting. Florida had rampant firings of teachers labeled homosexual, which the speaker sees echoed in Florida's "don't say gay, don't say trans" laws. The speaker calls for a new liberation movement, similar to the civil rights movement that sidelined McCarthyism, to challenge those in power.

The speaker discusses the importance of affirming language and practices in education, particularly in the past year. They mention that their organization focuses on this type of work rather than healthy relationships. The speaker also mentions their coworker, Lisa Shelby, who is the director of the organization. In an interview, Lisa Shelby confirms that their organization offers a pathway to racial literacy class in certain New Jersey schools, taking advantage of the fact that parents cannot opt their children out of this course.

The administration is fighting to remove critical race theory from school districts. Children will be taught to love America, be patriots, and embrace civic values to receive federal taxpayer funding. As the Department of Education closes and funding shifts to states, the administration will ensure funds are not used to promote communist ideology. A nation cannot teach its children to hate themselves or their country to be successful.

Incarceration, even for a few days, is traumatic, and the speaker's plan involves reducing incarceration. The speaker also advocates for demilitarizing schools by removing police officers. They emphasize the need to address and speak truthfully about the inequities in school discipline.

The Department of Education is allegedly staffed by radical left Marxist bureaucrats who are hostile to Western civilization, American interests, and the nation's founding documents. These individuals are purportedly using their positions to force agendas such as radical gender ideology, critical race theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion on American students and children. This allegedly takes away parents' ability to control their children's education. The plan under President Trump is to return authority to the local level, allowing parents to control outcomes, while ensuring that no federal funds support racism, gender ideology, or other ideas offensive to the American taxpayer.
