A Minnesota science teacher in the Saint Paul Public Schools district lambasted cell biology lessons, particularly on mitochondrion, for containing "capitalist" propaganda.
Mandi Jung, a teacher at Highland Park Middle School, said, "Lately, there's been a lot of conversation about teachers indoctrinating students to their beliefs.
Jung proceeded to provide the "perfect example" of how "capitalist indoctrination" is expressed in her seventh grade science classes.
"Seventh grade science… [is] the year that you learn that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and all this cell biology.
"Bacteria don't have a nucleus, and they are arguably one of the most successful classes of organisms on the planet. Bacteria out here being the original anarchists, right? No nucleus, no master. Seize the means of metabolism.Jung frequently posts anti-capitalist views on her social media platforms.
For example, she shared on Twitter, "You are not a capitalist, you are an exploited worker with Stockholm syndrome."
In another case, Jung recommended a teacher use a Marxist political cartoon against capitalism.
The poster said, "Capitalism. We rule you. We fool you. We shoot at you. We eat for you."
