Moms for Liberty – Williamson County Press Release –
Williamson County, TN – Grassroots organization Moms for Liberty – Williamson County (MFL-WC) presents “MARXISM 101,” occurring on Monday, April 17th, at 6:00 PM, at Generations Church, 408 Church Street, in downtown Franklin.
MARXISM 101 is part of the chapter’s “2022-2023 School Year for Parents” initiative, focusing on one critical issue in our schools per month. The April focus begins to tie all ideologies studied in previous months together in a presentation on the history of Marxism in Education, and especially, what it looks like in American education today.
In previous months MFL-WC has studied Critical Race Theory (CRT), Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Gender Ideology, Restorative Justice, Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), and graphic sexual material (“Porn”) in school libraries. MARXISM 101 will show how all of these issues, including the controversial Wit & Wisdom K-5 English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum, underpin Marxist pedagogy in our Tennessee classrooms, to kids as young as five years old.
Two keynote speakers will illuminate this issue for us: Xi Van Fleet, who survived Marxist education and indoctrination under Mao Zedong in the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and Dr. James Lindsay, expert on Marxist ideology and author of “Race Marxism” and “The Marxification of Education.”
Xi Van Fleet grew up in Mao’s China. She spent the entirety of her school years under the Chinese Cultural Revolution. After high school, she, along with all the urban youths, was forced to work in the fields for 3 years to be re-educated by the peasants. She was able to go to college only after Mao’s death. In 1986 she came to America as a student to pursue her graduate studies. She holds master’s degrees in English and Library Science. In the past 30 years she worked in the field of Information Management. As a private citizen, she has never been politically involved. Like many Americans, 2020 became a turning point for her. Compelled by her personal experience under Mao and the realization that the Chinese Cultural Revolution she lived through is taking place here in America, she has committed herself to the mission of educating American people about the horror of Socialism/Communism, and warning them of the danger of Cultural Marxist Woke Revolution that is threatening our country. Her up-coming book “Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning” will be available in October 2023.
Dr. James Lindsay is an American author, mathematician, and political commentator. He has written eight books spanning a range of subjects including religion, the philosophy of science and postmodern theory. Dr. Lindsay is the Founder of New Discourses, an organization dedicated to shining the light of objective truth in subjective darkness. Dr. Lindsay is the co-author of “Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity―and Why This Harms Everybody,” the author of “Race Marxism,” and “The Marxification of Education: Paulo Freire’s Critical Marxism and the Theft of Education,” released in December 2022. Dr. Lindsay has been a featured guest on Fox News, Glenn Beck, Joe Rogan, and NPR, and has spoken on the ravages of wokeism to the Oxford Union Society in Oxford, England, and most recently, the European Union Parliament in Brussels, Belgium.
