The Colorado Education Association [CEA] reportedly passed a resolution that declares that “capitalism inherently exploits children, public schools, land, labor, and resources.”
A final version of the resolution that was passed states that “CEA believes that capitalism requires exploitation of children, public schools, land, labor, and/or resources. Capitalism is in opposition to fully addressing systemic racism (the school to prison pipeline), climate change, patriarchy, (gender and LGBTQ disparities), education inequality, and income inequality.
However, a screenshot captures an earlier draft of the resolution that included a call to replace capitalism with a “new equitable economic system.”
Plus: “This resolution follows the trend of teacher unions pushing a far-left ideology. The president of the National Education Association, the largest teachers union in the nation, declared that racial and social justice is a ‘pillar’ of the NEA’s efforts.”
