>>12221256 , >>12221274 , >>12221278 Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today issued a warning to all 74 colleges, universities and school districts with known active Confucius Institutes on campus: know who you’re dealing with.
U.S. targets Confucius ClassroomsOctober 14, 2020
The State and Education departments on Wednesday warned school administrators around the country that China’s “Confucius Classrooms” program is a government influence operation targeting young students.
In a letter sent to state commissioners of education, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos called the Chinese-government-funded program “a real and increasing threat to U.S. classrooms.”
“Confucius Classrooms are in reality an important element of the PRC’s global influence campaign, now reaching tens of thousands of U.S. schoolchildren every day,” they said, using the acronym for People’s Republic of China.
• Many American educators are unaware that the Chinese program is linked to Beijing’s Ministry of Education and is part of a carefully crafted influence program designed to hide facts about the Chinese Communist Party’s abuses, U.S. officials say.
• “The presence of an authoritarian slant in curriculum and teaching has never been more concerning, nor more consequential,” Mr. Pompeo and Ms. DeVos stated. “The government of the PRC has suppressed human rights and freedoms in Hong Kong; intensified longstanding repression of ethnic and linguistic minorities in the so-called ‘autonomous regions’ of Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and elsewhere; and is believed to be engaged in the world’s largest internment of a religious minority since the Second World War in the ‘autonomous region’ of Xinjiang.”
• Noting that many Chinese-Americans settled in the United States to escape Chinese government control, the secretaries said, “It is troubling to consider that, in some cases, the PRC government may have effectively taken up a physical presence in the halls of their child’s U.S. school.”
• Some students in the programs have noted that Chinese instructors avoid topics deemed sensitive by the government in Beijing or critical of China.
• “At any grade level, the presence in U.S. classrooms of instructors supported by an authoritarian regime poses risks to our democratic values,” the letter said.
• Australia has banned the Confucius Classroom program and replaced it with a less threatening one. Canada also has halted the promotion of communist propaganda through similar programs.
• The classroom program is subset of China’s Confucius Institutes, another Beijing funded global cultural program with some 100 institutes on American campuses. A Senate report last year on Chinese influence on the U.S. education system said Chinese teachers in the classroom program had violated visa restrictions.
Mr. Pompeo has said the Trump administration’s goal is to have all of the Confucius Institutes shut down by the end of the year.
• Another concern expressed in the letter is that many U.S. schools are funding the Chinese programs. China also has also brought American school administrators to China as part of the program.
• “Parents have the right to know what is going on in their children’s classrooms, particularly when controversial or political matters are involved,” said Mr. Pompeo and Ms. DeVos, noting that school administrators should check the program and make sure students’ information is protected and that the arrangements with China are reciprocal and transparent.
• The State Department in August designated the Confucius Institute U.S. Center in the District of Columbia a foreign mission of the Chinese government. The designation did not directly affect the classroom program, but “we seek to shine a light on CIUS and its relationship to Confucius Classrooms operating in U.S. schools,” the letter said.

I really wonder if Pence instead of going to Vail, CO, is in protective custody of the military so he doesn’t get whacked before January 6th. The timing of his trip is strange
