A Marxist teacher in Colorado, who called for a “forced cultural revolution” against “whites,” secured a vacancy in the state House of Representatives on Saturday in a Democratic vote.
Tim Hernandez was elected to the Denver-area state legislature on Saturday by the Democratic committee tasked with filling the vacancy after incumbent Celina Gonzalez Gutierrez was elected to the Denver City Council.
A website in May said Hernandez worked at the Aurora West Prep Academy in the Aurora Public School District. His staff list has since been erased, and it’s unclear if he continues to work in the Colorado area. There was a sign in his classroom that read, “Dismantle.”[ing] white system. ”
Fox News Digital previously revealed that Hernández slandered Marxists at a union-sponsored protest.
“I want to break some of it for you. Are you ready?” Hernandez said.
“A lot of what is happening in our school, in my classroom, is the same thing that we are in in ideological circles here. , prefers to compete who knows these things better and who is a Leninist.Listen, okay, I’ll teach you the real point of view on this matter.Children don’t care yo,” he said.
According to Hernandez, it was not enough to preach communist theory, it had to be practiced.
“Yes, it’s important to know the theory. But you have to practice, you have to go to town, you have to go to work, you have to go to your family.” No. If we just sit and talk in ideological circles, our children are still going to underfunded schools and investing more in failure than in success. ”
“your [communist] Theory will not save you. The revolution happens…under the hood. It will not be led by those who understand Lenin best, nor will it be led by the deepest Marxists. The revolution will be led by the people. …and I can say this because I am a teacher. ”
Fox News Digital also investigated Hernandez’s public social media and found that the teacher specifically called for a “forced cultural revolution” against “whiteness” and “white supremacy” in America.
He suggested that he intended to incorporate a lesson in communist theory into his classroom.
For example, Mr. Hernandez, after showing young children the film “A Bug’s Life” to draw young children into his society’s lens, called “proletarian revolution”, meaning a social revolution in which the working class seeks to overthrow the bourgeoisie. ‘ should be taught. .
“Many people call me a ‘unicorn’. I am not a freak. I am a sign that we still have work to do. This is sacred. This It’s powerful, it needs it, I’m telling the truth to my students,” he said, according to a memo from a September 2021 Memphis rally reviewed by Fox News.
“What would happen to us if half the time white people spend distancing themselves from their whiteness was actually dismantling the system of white supremacy?” he asked. “[S]The system of white supremacy is supported by the individual, and it would not be productive to exclude individuality from this conversation…I absolutely support the Cultural Revolution to dismantle individual and institutional white supremacy.” he said in January 2021.
“We’re talking about being white and white supremacy, and I’m going to actively support any form of confusion over it and any indication it shows,” he said.
“Am I denying my freedom to defend white supremacy? If so, I am for that denial. And white supremacy is now supported by force. It advocates a forced cultural revolution that claims the sanctity of life for all at the expense of white supremacy.”
Hernández’s classroom was filled with flags supporting Palestinian and far-left political causes, including one suggesting that the United States belonged to the Aztecs.
Hernandez was previously fired from another Denver public school after being called “aggressive, divisive and aggressive” by school administrators, he said in an article. Tweet.
The term “Cultural Revolution” comes from the history of communist totalitarianism. China’s Cultural Revolution was a political purge and persecution of millions of suspected counter-revolutionaries orchestrated by Mao Zedong, who was President of the People’s Republic of China from 1949 until 1976. This violent movement took up the “four olds”: old ideas, old cultures, old habits, old habits, and featured the destruction of cultural artifacts.
Hernández also said whites should be subject to re-education.
“How long do we have to wait for white people to ‘grow up’ and ‘forget learning’?” [to be honest]It seems like a bull to me that we have to wait for the least educated, the most economically powerful, the most politically capitalized groups in our society to ‘grow up’.” he said on X (formerly known as Twitter).
On another occasion, Hernández accused white women.
“I seriously wonder if white women are even a little aware of how many times a day they interrupt other people,” he says.
He also commented on “racial dynamics in education” and lashed out at the fact that the profession is 80% white.
“80% of teachers are white because they want the education system to be white, and … they chose to promote the oppression that the ‘fairness’ department is trying and failing to dismantle. It is,” he said.
Hernandez and Aurora Public Schools did not respond to requests for comment.
