We recently looked at the mysterious case of a company that has been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland near American Air Force bases. They claim to not have any ties to China, but it certainly seems as if they might. Meanwhile, other known Chinese entities have similarly been buying land all across the country. But China has been engaged in more than real estate deals in the United States. A new report from a parents’ group reveals that Beijing has been investing heavily in American schools. Titled “Little Red Classrooms,” the report finds that China has pumped more than 17 million dollars into various K-12 schools in 34 states and even in Washington, D.C. And many of these schools are similarly located close to military bases. What exactly is going on here? (PJ Media)

A group called “Parents Defending Education” has released a scathing report called “Little Red Classrooms: China’s Infiltration of American K-12 Schools,” which details how China is funding various schools in the U.S., many of them near military bases.

The report claims China has funneled $17,967,565.12 to 134 schools, located in 34 states and D.C., from 2009-2023. Some of the contracts have expired, but CCP cash still flows.

The affected schools are scattered all over the country. Locations include Seattle and Tusla, Oklahoma, with others in Texas, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Oregon. Many are situated close to as many as 20 military bases. Thomas Jefferson High School in Falls Church, Va. received nearly $1 million over the past decade.

This is all being done through a Chinese program called “Confucius Classrooms,” operated by Confucius Institutes. But we shouldn’t be deceived into thinking that Beijing is doing this out of the kindness of their hearts or simply to “help the children.” China has no interest in democracy but they’ve learned a lot about capitalism in the past few decades. They don’t give away money without the expectation of getting something in return.

The courses they pay for ostensibly teach students about “Chinese language and culture.” Of course, they paint China in the most positive light possible. The students are unlikely to hear anything about genocide against the Uyghurs or citizens disappearing into forced labor camps if they express unapproved opinions. The program is part of China’s global Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which seeks to expand China’s technological and business influence around the world.

As the linked report notes, it’s worth remembering someone else who has been a big supporter of BRI. His name is Hunter Biden. That should really tell you all you need to know. And according to Florida Congressman Mike Waltz, it’s not just the public schools they are going after. He has discovered that Chinese shell companies are being used to purchase control of some private schools as well.

“Not only is the CCP trying to promote their propaganda through education programs but are using Chinese shell companies to outright buy American private schools around the country,” Waltz stated to The Daily Mail.

While nobody seemed to be paying attention, the Chinese Communist Party has been creeping into our educational system and hijacking the education process of America’s children. We’ve spent so much time worrying about the indoctrination of children by the radical left and the trans movement that we failed to notice the CCP sneaking in through the back door. Until the government can get organized to look into this further, parents should act proactively this summer and find out if the Chinese Communists have already infiltrated your school. And if so, get hold of the school board immediately and put a stop to it.
