And this was teaching our children?

Retired teacher is a proud Marxist.

The same video also featured Brian Verdin, a local college instructor we misidentified as a member of the Milwaukee Teachers Education Association. He is, in fact, a member of the Wisconsin branch of the American Federation of Teachers, according to a YouTube video.

While other union activists around Wisconsin are sometimes coy about their radical views (outside the classroom, that is), Verdin is just the opposite. He’s a Marxist teacher who wants to bring a socialist revolution to the United States, and he’s very proud of that stance.

Shortly after the February, 2011 protests at the Wisconsin state capitol, Verdin appeared at a conference organized by the Greek Socialist Workers Party in Athens to talk about why he and others were fighting against Walker.

Referring to himself as a Marxist, Verdin explained he was on the verge of tears when he saw a picture of the Wisconsin capitol building on display in the Greek union hall.

He also attempted to explain that while he’s told to “go back to Russia” because of his Marxist views, he tells people his home was North America “before it was the United States.” This is apparently a reference to some of his family’s Mexican roots.

Verdin also told the audience, “The ideas of socialism are as American as apple pie.” His interpreter clearly didn’t get the analogy, leading to several moments of awkward confusion.

I realize not all teachers are like this, but it pisses me off how this man can ignore our American history and see how American exceptionalism made this country great. NOT socialism.
