In a fiery appearance on The Erick Erickson Show, MRC President and Founder Brent Bozell harshly condemned the Biden administration’s weaponized government for pushing censorship and indoctrination into American schools.
Conversing with host Erick Erickson on Thursday’s episode of the show, Bozell highlighted a recent MRC report showing how the State Department teamed up with the German government to fund seminars where American educators were trained in German strategies on censorship and indoctrination. The U.S. State Department “teamed up with [Germany] to do a program designed to teach teachers how to teach children how to turn against conservatives,” Bozell declared. “It's something that ought to frighten every American more and more.”
The MRC discovered how, through the United States Embassy to Germany, the State Department partnered with a German federal entity to conduct a year-long series of seminars for American educators on how to “inoculate” students against conservative ideas and American ideals. A follow-up report, scheduled to be released next week, will detail how the Department of Homeland Security took this program nationwide.
Bozell commented: “it's an Aryan youth movement, but it’s being trained with Maoist indoctrination camps.” Erickson concurred, reminding Bozell that “the Nazis and the commies were kissing cousins.”
Bozell then detailed some of the particulars of the “Orwellian” program. “700 teachers that have gone through the seminar program are being taught to look at the media through the lens of these two companies: Ad Fontes and Newsguard,” he explained. “These are two companies that purport to be objective analyzers of the news. ... They are both left-wing organizations with a record of constantly labeling conservatives … as either unreliable and/or dishonest.”
In the same interview, Bozell also highlighted how MRC’s CensorTrack.org has now documented over six thousand cases of Big Tech censorship. “You know that they're coming after your advertisers,” Bozell warned Erickson.
Erickson — an accomplished journalist, activist and former Macon City councilman — also confided in viewers of his longtime friendship with Bozell, remarking that “on the list of people I think most highly of on the planet, he is in the top five.”
Concluding the interview, Erickson lamented that this was just the latest evidence of how the left has poisoned the American public school system. “Another reason for school choice, people,” Erickson cautioned. “Another reason for school choice.”
Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called hate speech and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us using CensorTrack’s contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.
