New York Comic Con (NYCC) is the biggest pop culture convention on the East Coast, and one of the largest in North America.
This year's event at Jacob Javits Center attracted more than 250,000 visitors and over 500 exhibitors, including the New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE).
Yes, it turns out the NYC DOE has attended NYCC for around five years now to promote its "Civics for All Comics Group" initiative which started in 2020.
It has since distributed more than 2 million "free" comic books (which can be downloaded online), making the NYC DOE one of the largest comic book makers in the country.
The "educational" comic books are meant for students in elementary, middle and high school, and cover topics like activism, stories from the African diaspora, famous LGBTQ historical figures and so on.
The Action Activist series immediately caught our attention.
The first comic in the Action Activist series, meant for grades K-5, starts off with familiar covid propaganda that "we're all in this together" and then touches on segregation in schools, Brown v. Board of Education, Jim Crow, housing segregation, and suggests that the "struggle" to end segregated schools "continues every day" in real life.
It also includes an example of how to become an activist by challenging automated speed cameras, and how to become a politician.
Action Activists #2: Activism in New York!!! covers slavery in New York, labor unions, and even introduces readers to the Young Lords, a group which started as a Puerto Rican street gang and evolved into a far left group promoting Marxist principles, and was influenced by the Black Panther Party.
The Young Lords are positioned very much in a positive light -- as "daring revolutionaries" who cleaned up the city.
And the Occupy Wall Street movement is similarly glorified - students are taught that "a movement doesn't necessarily have to have a specific objective to be effective.
Action Activists #3 takes students on a trip to their senator's office for a little activism before touching on covid, immigration and asylum, health care for immigrants, and sharing a story about an "undocumented" immigrant who became friends with communists jailed during the red scare... before being deported back to his home country.
Action Activists #4 rounds out the series with a little "climate change" activism and a reminder that "the challenges of climate change disproportionately affect the vulnerable parts of the population the most."
Amazingly, the comic even talks about spraying salts into the air to "create a cloud shield" to deflect sunlight and drop Earth's temperature.
Remember when Bill Gates wanted to do this for real and then backed the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), launched by Harvard University scientists?
The series even covers artificial intelligence and the struggle for "robot rights" likening them to worker rights and immigrant rights.
The Action Activists series includes resource guides for teachers since these comic books are meant to be used in the classroom for history, civics and social emotional learning. The comics teach that empathy forms the basis for all activism.
They even have Preschool versions of the Action Activists series because apparently you can never start promoting Marxist propaganda to “save democracy” too early.
We certainly hope the former New York City educators that Greenwich Superintendent Toni Jones has hired DO NOT bring this kind of indoctrination into Greenwich Public Schools.
It's the last thing we need.
