Did Joseph McCarthy Murder 20 Million Innocents? New York City Schools Teach That Anti-Communist Patriot, “Tailgunner Joe,” and Mass Murderer “Uncle Joe” Stalin were Morally Equivalent

My son’s communist, ninth grade social studies-humanities teacher gave the class a quiz on how Joseph McCarthy and Josef Stalin were both bad. That forced my boy to lie, because he didn’t know anything bad about Tailgunner Joe, or else get punished with grade retaliation, and then be in danger of flunking out of his pseudo-selective school. (It’s selective for those who, like him, aren’t affirmative action admits, and don’t have parents who are members of the Parent Association clique).

He went mushy, and wrote that they both made false claims about people.

He had the same teacher last year. She reduced The War to America’s genocide against the poor Japs. We killed them with the two Bombs we dropped on them, and in the death camps, where we committed mass murder.

The teacher didn’t say outright that we’d murdered the Japs in the camps. Instead, she spoke of “internment camp survivors,” which only makes sense if we were murdering most of the internees, like the Nazis did at Auschwitz, etc., and left the rest to her charges’ imaginations, to fill in the gaps. After all, the phrase "[concentration] camp survivors" comes from the Holocaust, and it is no coincidence that the phrase “internment camp survivors” echoes it. Indeed, communists often speak of the internment camps as "concentration camps."

When he told me about that, I bought him a copy of Michelle Malkin’s book, In Defense of Internment.

The teacher also suggested that Malcolm X (Little) “wasn’t as peaceful in his support of the civil rights movement” as Martin Luther King Jr. was. That’s one way of putting Little’s total opposition to the movement (he was an open segregationist). And when she mentioned the firebombing of Little’s home in East Elmhurst, Queens, it slipped her mind to mention that it was Little who had firebombed his own house, in order to gin up public sympathy for his battle with Elijah Muhammad and the NOI.

The Boss wondered aloud about other school kids, whose parents wouldn’t set the record straight for them.

Although Greatschools.net claims that my son’s school is over 70% white, it’s actually over 70% non-white. The black American parents certainly aren’t going to set their kids straight, ditto for the Puerto Ricans, and the huge contingent of mostly South Asian immigrant parents don’t know the straight dope themselves.
