Socialists set their sights on America’s classrooms after midterm gains

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are not planning to rest after seeing big gains in the midterms.

With growing popularity comes increased influence, and it looks like the DSA isn’t about to squander its newfound reputation. According to a Fox News report, the organization is preparing to take its message directly to the children, including “classrooms, childcare programs and school boards,” as organizers push for childcare “from a socialist perspective.”

Watch:

“In New York City, the DSA’s ‘Red Sprouts’ program held a training session in October 2026 to equip organizers to provide ‘resistance-driven childcare’ at demonstrations, meetings and community events,” the outlet reported. “The training encouraged participants to incorporate political themes into childcare through ‘radical storytelling,’ ‘cooperative games’ and age-appropriate discussions.”

American Parents Coalition (APC) leader Alleigh Marré sounded the alarm in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“There’s been a real influx in enthusiasm and their ability and desire to recruit and grow their movement,” she said. “What’s particularly concerning and insidious is their direct efforts to apply that to not just adults, but to youth.”

APC is looking to counter the DSA’s efforts by equipping parents with the resources they need to be able to identify and challenge potential political activism in classrooms. Specifically, their “Lookout” program helps educate parents on the current and future efforts of socialist organizations that could be influencing the minds of their children.

“The DSA really understands and values that if you can indoctrinate and teach these kids really young, their perceived value of, of socialism, that that’s going to stick with kids for a lifetime. It’s much easier to teach a child an idea or ideal in their infancy, and when they’re very young and they’re forming their worldview, and we have seen many efforts to try and capitalize on that,” she continued. “There’s this really concerted effort to instill an ideology in really, really young children, rather than teaching kids how to think and introducing a breadth of ideologies of religious interests, etc. It’s really focused on socialist and communist aligned ideas.”

The Fox News report highlighted the DSA’s attempts to infiltrate school boards as well, where members would have expanded influence over schools in general, as opposed to small groups of children via clubs and organizations.

“The Los Angeles chapter of the DSA established its own Public Education Committee, with priorities that include expanding the organization’s influence on school boards, recruiting school board candidates, working with teachers unions and promoting policies such as the Green New Deal,” the report notes.
