A teacher from Maryland who identifies as a communist boasted on social media about “indoctrinating” her students with “Marxist literature” and advocated for a battle against capitalism.
Rebecca F. Rothstein, an educator at North Bethesda Middle School in the Montgomery County School District, shared several contentious videos on her TikTok account, which has been deactivated, according to The Blaze.
Rothstein, who said she’s “proud as f**k to be a liberal,” argued that teaching students math and science should not be prioritized by educators. Instead, she believes that lessons on anti-racism and “how to be kind” should take precedence in the classroom.
“As a teacher, I wish we could do more with our students, like teach anti-racism and how to be kind people. Does anyone else feel like … we can skip the math, skip the science, like we’ll do that next year. Maybe this year we focus on teaching our youth how to be anti-racist,” she said in one TikTok video.
Many conservatives believe ‘anti-racism’ is synonymous with teaching anti-white curriculum.
In another social media post, Rothstein said, “F**k capitalism” and bragged about providing her students with “Marxist literature,” The Blaze noted.
“Tired after a long day of indoctrinating students,” she said. She added that she had to “un-brainwash” herself to “fall in love” with socialism and communism.
“If everyone had the same amount of money, then money wouldn’t be worth anything,” she claimed.
She went on to insist that “capitalism must go” and said that “revolutions involve violence.” She went on to defend the summer of riots in 2020 that destroyed businesses and communities.
“There are so many a******s in my comments saying, ‘What about all the burning of the buildings, and the looting and the rioting?’ Why do you care more about buildings than human lives? It’s like you’re stomping around, being like, ‘All buildings matter.’ No, no, they don’t. And the fact that you don’t understand where the rage is coming from, why there is so much rage of burning buildings, that’s the exact problem,” Rothstein said.
She went on by claiming that she is “f***ing angry” about “the patriarchy,” “racism,” and “police brutality.”
Rothstein then said she believes “boys should get vasectomies at birth, or when it is safe to do so” and then asked, “Why is preventing pregnancy just on the woman?” She didn’t elaborate on how she would then prevent the human species from dying out.
“I’m proud of my ability to recognize white privilege,” Rothstein added. “White privilege is not about work ethic. White privilege is about the color of your skin.”
