The recent elections make it clear: Socialist politicians are poised to rack up more wins unless we confront the root cause of their growing appeal among the young. That root is the government school system, a vast apparatus that indoctrinates millions of impressionable minds each year, convincing them that big government is the solution to every problem.
The far-left brainwashing unfolds for seven hours a day over 13 formative years. Just as American children step off this factorylike conveyor belt, they become eligible to vote, and they are primed to buy into the socialist lies they have been sold.
Consider the evidence from a TIPP poll of 18- to 25-year-olds, conducted for the League of American Workers just before the November elections. It found that young voters are overwhelmingly in favor of teachers unions (48% net favorable), despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that they function as de facto money laundering operations for the Democratic Party. The same poll showed young voters had a 10% net positive rating of socialism.
