China’s Confucius Classrooms in US Public Schools: Are They Brainwashing America’s Children?

China is believed to have spent at least $17 million establishing so-called “Confucius Classrooms” in 143 school districts across the US, teaching school children Beijing’s view of the world.

Confucius Classrooms are the public-school version of Confucius Institutes – ******** government-financed cultural programs that operate on college campuses.

But while Congress has cracked down on Confucius Institutes by targeting their funding, experts told the House Committee on Education and the Workforce last year that Confucius Classrooms are operating with little or no oversight.

Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters told House members, “This is an issue of national security. When you look at the indoctrination going on in our classrooms from several different perspectives, this is one of the most heinous.” 

“What they want to do is influence our children into believing that, no, it’s a good system and China is a normal country that is not tyrannical,” said China expert Mike Gonzalez of the Heritage Foundation. “We cannot allow that to happen.”

Confucius Classrooms are presented to school districts as cultural exchange programs and the chance to learn the Mandarin language.  But they are funded by the ******** ********** government, and they teach young people the ******** ********** Party view of politics and history.

And China is offering schools big money. Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax County, Virginia reportedly disclosed that it has received

, also says the Confucius Classrooms are operating near 20 military bases, influencing the children of ********* military personnel.

During the House hearing, Neily said, “To your question about the military bases, we don’t know what is happening. And that to me is the most frightening part. Who are these (Confucius Classroom) employees? What do they have access to and what is going back and forth, both going into the mind of our children? And then what data is flowing out of this?” 

That’s a concern because Confucius Classrooms also give the ******** government access to data about the schools and the students.
