The Greenwich High School morning announcements set off alarm bells yesterday after a group of students picked controversial social justice warrior Jane Fonda to honor as their "Woman of the Week."

A number of students expressed dismay at the decision to celebrate "Hanoi Jane" especially in light of her history.

Fonda became a vocal activist in the late 1960's, supporting radical causes and groups like the Black Panthers, a Marxist-Leninist party, and Weather Underground, militant anti-war communists responsible for multiple bombings in the 1970s targeting police, military, government offices, and other symbols of authority.

Fonda joined Gloria Steinem's feminist movement, and also became the honorary national coordinator for Vietnam Veterans Against the War.

She carried signs at anti-war demonstrations in support of the PRG, the Provisional Revolutionary Government which served as the political arm of the communist guerrilla force, the Viet Cong, in South Vietnam.

In 1969 she actually told Michigan State University students, "you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communists."

She starred in a movie called "FTA" - "F*ck the Army" which spent just a week in theaters.

Turns out that same week in 1972, with the war still going on, Fonda jumped at the chance to visit the communist regime in North Vietnam for two weeks.

It wasn't a humanitarian mission.

She broadcast more than a dozen propaganda shows on Radio Hanoi, trying to shame US servicemen to stop fighting what she felt was an "unjust" war against "peace-loving" North Vietnamese communists. She condemned US "imperialist" policies in Vietnam. She also condemned US prisoners of war in North Vietnam, calling them "war criminals." She even posed on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun -- the exact kind used to shoot down US planes whose pilots, if they survived the crash, were subsequently captured and tortured.

Worse yet, Fonda denied the real condition of the American POWs who had been beaten, starved and tortured at the "Hanoi Hilton," saying they weren't mistreated at all and instead called the POWs "hypocrites and liars and pawns."

Fonda was (and still is) a traitor to our country who tried to make communism look good.

When she arrived in Hanoi on July 8, 1972, Fonda shared "greetings" from her revolutionary "comrades" in America with her North Vietnamese communist hosts. 

She eventually said she regretted taking that iconic photograph sitting on the anti-aircraft gun, and apologized in 1988, calling it "a thoughtless and careless thing to have done.” She also apologized to Vietnam veterans everywhere “who she hurt or whose pain she caused to deepen" but the apology, which came 16 years after her visit, fell flat.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) rejected the 1988 apology, saying "it is not enough to redeem the situation" and subsequently passed a resolution asking Congress to try Fonda for treason.

The VFW wanted to be assured the apology was not simply being used to boost her "sagging career and political fortunes" and indicated that Fonda additionally needed to "disavow her communist sympathies."

In 2011, Fonda admitted that a group of Vietnamese soldiers had "serenaded her with a communist folk song" before leading the useful idiot to sit on the gun for her photo op.

No charges ever materialized after Fonda made the conscious decision to support an enemy of the United States, potentially endangering the lives of US servicemen and worsening conditions for POWs.

Major Harold Kushner said he believed that Fonda's purpose during the Vietnam War was to hurt the United States and to radicalize young people to undermine authority.

Just so you know, we contacted Greenwich High School Principal Ralph Mayo about the announcement, since it angered a number of students, especially those with Vietnam Veterans and military members in the family.

To his credit, Mayo quickly responded with a phone call, and said he should have reviewed the announcement before it went out, but failed to do so.

We asked whether the school would set the record straight with students about Fonda being a lying, traitorous, useful idiot for communism. Mayo said he would think about how to do that.

Maybe he should also think about holding a school-wide assembly to teach students about the horrors of communism before it's too late.

P.S. No one should be surprised to learn that Jane Fonda thinks "No Kings" is such a great example of resistance that her climate PAC has supported the protests -- which are also supported by the teachers unions (including the National Education Association / Connecticut Education Association which has a local affiliate in town, the Greenwich Education Association) and also by the Communist Party USA.
