    paid for by taxpayers.

    EXCLUSIVE: Public Schoolers Are Paid $1,400 a Pop to Become Social Justice Warriors
    An activist group in California has paid public high schoolers $1,400 each to learn how to fight for social and racial justice. And the money for the scheme comes from the state’s taxpayers.

    Californians for Justice, which promotes itself as a “statewide youth-powered organization fighting for racial justice,” struck a deal with the Long Beach Unified School District to run after-school clubs that train teenagers in the way of the social justice warrior. Exactly what the kids learn in the sessions isn’t clear, but one teenage participant was refreshingly honest in explaining why other kids should sign up: “You get paid good.”

    Teachers and parents interviewed by The Free Press call the scheme a “horrible propaganda strategy.”

    One teacher in the district told Francesca that a scheme designed to help children find their voice is having the opposite effect. “One of the reasons that they were hired is to help our students find their voice and be able to express it,” said Jay Goldfischer, a high school history teacher. “But in reality, CFJ is not helping students find their own voices. It’s giving them a scripted voice that’s not their own.”

    “They’re teaching them parroting,” he added, “which is the exact opposite of how you empower children.”

    Good for the private group. It isn't tax payers money so I don't see a problem.

    It reads that it is taxpayer money. No clue if accurate.

    You are right, I didn't read the article just what he clipped. It does sound like they are tax payer funded, so I agree it probably isn't a good thing.

    Californians teaching kids to be racist….and on the taxpayer dollar. Disgusting.
    Libbies are running the show people. Wake up. Somehow we need to wrestle the media away from them.
    This shit makes me irate.

    The group is fighting for racial justice. I'd consider that a good thing. What are the objectionable things they're supposedly doing?
