A new summer camp in Portland, Oregon offers to help children explore “social justice issues” like Black Lives Matter, white supremacy, and the abolishment of police.
Editor’s note: Indoctrination? Grooming? Child abuse? Teaching hate? At the very least I cannot imagine worse role models for children whose parent might want them to grow up sane, civilized and productive.
“We believe that empowering youth to become critically engaged with social justice issues lays the groundwork for transformational social change tomorrow and today,” said Budding Roses, a volunteer anarchist group hosting the camp.
The two-week social justice summer camp is available to students in 4th through 8th grades free of charge and was developed by the Black Rose/Rosa Negra Anarchist Foundation. According to the official website, the Portland summer camp was heavily inspired by Paolo Friere’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed and the Black Panther Party’s Free Breakfast for School Children Program.
Resources to be used at camp include:
- A coloring book that imagines what communities would look like without police
- Reports on Portland authorities’ use of tear gas during protests in 2020 and information on how to protect yourself from tear gas
- Guidelines on how to express anger through music during protests
- Indigenous land maps
- History of radical organizing in Portland
As listed on its GoFundMe webpage, camp activities will include talks on “issues that Portland youth are already engaging with” including gentrification, racism, gender, student activism, mental health, and climate change.
All that’s missing from the agenda are instructions for Molotov cocktails, jokes radio host Ari Hoffman. “What they do learn is how to hate the police…Your child, if they go to this Antifa camp, will be taught how to be a little activist.”
The city of Portland is essentially controlled by Antifa, adds Hoffman. “They defunded their police, you still have riots on a regular basis, you still have protests on a regular basis. And these people think that they’ve won.”
This year, public schools in Portland and throughout the state introduced Black Lives Matter and Marxist materials on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. And Portland – despite years of protests and violence as anarchist sentiment swells – awarded Budding Roses the “Spirit of Portland Award” for being the best nonprofit initiative of the year.
Author’s Note: Budding Roses is using taxpayer money to brainwash a new generation of social justice warriors. Kids should be swimming in lakes and playing baseball at summer camp, not learning how to handle tear gas. This is child abuse of the worst kind.
Editor’s note: It worries me that this is being done out in the open, and that the local community hasn’t cried out. Next thing you know, there will be an organization “Future Criminals of America” in high schools around the country.
