Ravenwood’s Universe exposed a plot by Hilltop Children’s Center in Seattle, a before and after school care program, to teach children that owning private property is wrong, and that a capitalist society is “unjust and oppressive.”

Citing an article printed in the radical teacher’s rag Rethinking Schools, Ravenwood uses the “teachers'” (in my experience working in school age care they’re usually called counselors) own words to show that the workers at this center were proudly indoctrinating children as young as 5 years old into believing Marxist propaganda. The armchair radicals teach the children that a “good” house is a community owned house, though they themselves no doubt have their own places, and certainly their own cars.

But they are teaching children to think that the concept of private property is inherently evil. They’re teaching kids that if they want to come in and use my living room, it is classism on my part that makes me say “go home hippy.” They’re teaching kids that if I own a car and they don’t, the car should be taken away from me and used for the “good of all.” They’re teaching children to embrace a failed philosophy that has killed 100 million people, from the safety and comfort of the one country that absolutely protects their rights to property, including the one piece of property we all own but Communism doesn’t recognize: our own bodies.

These “teachers” have a lot to learn. Unfortunately they won’t learn any of it before they’ve taught this outrageous nonsense to dozens of future commissars and terrorists.
