A video released Tuesday by Project Veritas (PV), led by James O’Keefe, appears to show a California public high school Advanced Placement Federal government instructor boasting that he is using Antifa propaganda to indoctrinate his trainees.
“I have 180 days to turn them into revolutionaries,” Gabriel Gipe, who teaches at Inderkum High School in Sacramento, California, is heard saying in the video, as other voices are heard speaking loudly in the background.
Asked by the PV undercover journalist how he does that, the video reveals the instructor stating, “Scare the f ** k out of them.”
“The Sacramento organization that is under the banner of Antifa is extremely loosely organized, right?” the teacher is heard explaining to the recruiter in the video. “So, like, when there’s right-wing rallies and stuff then, we like, we’ll develop an opposition to that. Yeah.”
The video reveals Gipe telling the PV reporter, who is posing as a left-wing sympathizer, that Sacramento “is extremely varied, however we’re surrounded by a lot of conservative rednecks.”
“The other actually big organization in our area, if you’re wanting to get involved, is NorCal Resist,” the teacher appears to advise to the interviewer. “NorCal Resist does direct outreach for undocumented folks. They help them with product support in addition to legal aid and support with the aid of National Lawyers Guild. So, they [Antifa] operate in tandem with each other.”

to do than”just sharing a tweet or posting on Instagram.”Nevertheless, Gipe also appears to say he motivates his trainees to utilize social media to propagandize.
“Like, these are all great tools on how to get– you know, it’s like, I’ve met a lot of individuals in my life who, when they fulfilled me, believed I was off the wall, right?” the instructor is heard saying in the video. “And, now, they’re all Marxists, right? You understand, and I’m much like, your political recognition altered.”
The video then reveals Gipe discussing how trainees grow more left-wing as they advance through school:
And, so, I have a substantial political spectrum in my room, on the wall. So, they [trainees] take an ideology test in their system four and I put their face– they need to offer me a photo of themselves– and I put it on the wall, where they are. Every year, they [students] get even more and even more left. And I have actually made them take notice of where my tac marks are. Since, I resemble, “These ideologies are considered extremes, right? Extreme times reproduce severe ideologies, right?”
“There is a reason that Generation Z, these kids, are ending up being even more and even more left,” he is heard stating.
The discussion continues as the PV journalist asks how his 17-year-old kid might end up being involved with these groups.
“Where would he go to connect with some of these organizations?” the journalist is heard asking.
“I publish a calendar every week,” Gipe appears to say.
The video then reveals the teacher explaining how trainees can earn additional credit for participating in the opposition to the “right-wing rallies.”

Like and so, that encourages them to do it,”he is heard saying. “And I have actually had trainees show up for demonstrations, neighborhood events, tabling, food circulation. All sorts of things. “Gipe then offers the appearance of elaborating that “when they [trainees] go [to Antifa occasions], they take pictures, write up a reflection, that’s their additional credit.”The video then reveals the wall of Gipe’s classroom, on which viewers can see an Antifa
flag and a poster of Mao Zedong, the former chairman of the Chinese Communist Party.” I’m probably as far left as you can go,”
the teacher is heard saying. In an evident discussion of the” Chinese cultural revolution “throughout the 1960s, Gipe seems to say it”
eventually failed. “He is heard in the video referring to the lots of” excesses “associated with that revolution.
“Individuals were certainly, like, you know, shot in the streets, that most likely shouldn’t have been,” he appears to acknowledge.
The video then reveals Gipe telling the PV journalist he and his better half are “political organizers” which he himself has actually been organizing since he was 13 years old, “in a ton of various organizations and I have actually been on the cutting edge.”
He is heard describing it is simple to indoctrinate older high school trainees due to the fact that their parents are less associated with their lives.
“Yeah, because a great deal of senior parents, at this point, have actually withdrawed. Right?” he appears to note. “So, they’re just kinda like, ‘Well, you can take care of yourself.'”
Gipe offers the impression that some parents of younger trainees, and some students themselves, have complained about what they see in his class:
Like, I have an Antifa flag on my wall. And a student complained about that, and he said it made him feel uneasy. Well, this [Antifa flag] is made to make fascists feel uneasy. So, if you feel uncomfortable, I don’t truly know what to inform you.
He is then heard laughing in the video as he duplicates what he apparently stated to the trainee.
“Possibly you should not be lining up with the values that this is antithetical to,” he states.

The video reveals Gipe explaining that, in order for socialism to truly settle in the United States, there should be cultural and financial shifts.
“We require to be able to attack both fronts,” he is heard saying, and elaborating:
We require to produce parallel structures of power due to the fact that we can not rely on the state. So, we require to disperse food, requirements. We require to develop those mutual help programs that we can look back at groups like the [Black] Panthers, and gain from their successes along with their mistakes. As well as regularly focusing on education and a change of cultural propaganda.
“We need to persuade individuals that this [socialism] is what we really require,” he obviously states.
As Breitbart News has reported, education researcher Stanley Kurtz has actually alerted about the proposed “action civics” curricula that ultimately teach America’s students how to community arrange for leftist causes with a woke education program based upon Important Race Theory.
Kurtz, the author of the Partisanship Out of Civics Act, a design for legislation that looks for to ban action civics at the state level, explained to Breitbart News the brand-new “education hazard” is “a one-two punch that integrates Alinskyite community organizing with woke education based upon Vital Race Theory.”
He observed that, in this brand-new “action civics” framework, “instructors arrange their trainees for presentations and lobbying on behalf of leftist causes.”
“Action civics also lets students volunteer with leftist neighborhood organizations and take part in their advocacy for course credit,” Kurtz noted. “If you layer ‘culturally responsive’ woke education on top of that, instructors are forced to indoctrinate trainees with ideas like ‘systemic bigotry,’ ‘white benefit,’ and ‘gender fluidity.'”
In July, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) banned a deceptive costs that would have enabled state sponsorship and financing of “action civics” in schools.
The costs passed the Florida legislature all with the backing of popular sponsors and would have required the Florida commissioner of education to “develop requirements for a civic literacy practicum that meets specific goals” and authorize “time spent on defined civic engagement activities to count towards requirements for certain scholarships and academic awards,” the bill’s description mentioned.
In his veto message, DeSantis stated, “The proposed costs seeks to further so-called ‘action civics’ however does so in such a way that threats promoting the favored orthodoxy of 2 particular organizations.”
“For these reasons, I withhold my approval of SB 146 and do thus ban the same,” the guv said.
Amongst “action civics” costs at the federal level is the Civics Secures Democracy Act, introduced by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), and backed by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK).
