In a 2019 interview, Swain said Americans were paralyzed by the infiltration of communism. It wasn’t until around the time of the Obama administration that she became interested in cultural Marxism, and “the Obama administration made it suddenly very important.”
Carol Swain, an African-American woman professor who has studied “cultural Marxism,” told Fox & Friends on Thursday that parents are organizing across the United States against dangerous critical race theory (CRT) in classrooms.
Swain: “I can tell you that people across the country are fighting back. Parents are organizing and doing what they need to do. I encourage more whistle blowers to come forward and provide the information that you know because what is happening is very dangerous. It creates a hostile environment for students, teachers and administrators, and I know from first-hand experience that you can’t be your best self if you’re in a hostile environment.”
What the left is doing in its critical race theory is pure indoctrination, Swain said. It’s not teaching young people how to think. In fact it’s just the opposite, because people who are politically incorrect are at risk of getting into trouble.
A parent named Andrew Gutmann sent a letter last Tuesday to all 600 parents at The Brearley School, a private school in New York, explaining why he took his daughter out of the school.
Swain praised the parent, who challenged the elite school with his daughter, for being “absolutely right that this is a national issue. She noted that teaching young children to hate themselves and their ancestors because of the color of their skin, all done under the guise of educational equity, is very harmful to minority children, and that CRT tells them to be victims, destroying the relationships that existed. “Racial critical theory creates problems once it enters environments where there are otherwise no serious problems.”
In an exclusive interview in 2019, Professor Swain spoke about the infiltration of communism into the United States and the manipulation of the black civil rights movement. She argued that communist pursuers developed sophisticated plans and goals in order to achieve infiltration.
“First of all, this socialism that is being shown now has been underground for a long time. On college campuses, those of us who have studied cultural Marxism, we know what’s going on, and we’ve seen its infiltration of churches and other institutions.”
Swain said she taught at both Vandenberg and Princeton for twenty-eight years and never took an interest in Marxism. Americans were paralyzed by the infiltration of communism. It wasn’t until around the time of the Obama administration that she became interested in cultural Marxism, and “the Obama administration made it suddenly very important.”
Swain believes that Marxism, having failed economically, made it a goal to change culture, and that after Marx’s death, his acolytes developed strategies to infiltrate the United States, operating carefully in various institutions such as the education system.
There were a few Germans at Columbia University who pushed Marxism hard, and they landed at Columbia, teaching students and in turn spreading it throughout the United States,” Swain said. I saw Saul Alinsky pushing the envelope and writing The Code of Radicals. Then there were people like Herbert Marcuse and Antonio Gramsci, who had a major impact on American society.”
Swain said, “So-called political correctness, trigger warnings, safe spaces, all that kind of stuff is a way to imprison people and keep them from rebelling. Marcuse’s claim is that the erosion is done by using the suffering of minorities.”
Athena Chu, head of the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism (FAIR) in New York, also said in an interview Wednesday that theories of racial criticism have found their way into many teacher training colleges, “Many of our young teachers have been educated like Columbia Teachers College, and there are many teacher training colleges around the country, so we found out about these teachings because these (CRT) were training our teachers and how they view their students. It goes back more than a decade.”
Now, it’s not just parents who are waking up, Swain said, but black youth as well. “They are really starting to realize that there is a great danger and that they may have been manipulated.”
