Teacher Who Boasted About Turning His Students Into Revolutionaries Set To Be Fired
“For example, in addition to inappropriate statements from the video, the teacher posted a sign supporting a personal decision for at least one local political issue, and possibly more,” the letter said.
Gabriel Gipe’s classroom was cleared of all posters and signage on Wednesday morning, according to the letter. On his walls, he hung an Antifa flag, a pride flag, a Mao Zedong poster, a flag of North Korea’s ruling party and a Planned Parenthood flyer, according to photos.
NUSD said that Gipe purchased stamps with his own money that included “an inappropriate image of Josef Stalin with an insensitive phrase, as well as other stamps with Fidel Castro, Kim Jung Un and others.”
The district’s investigation confirmed “that at least during the 13 days of this school year, he was using those stamps to mark student work as complete.”
The district also confirmed that Gipe encouraged students to attend events for extra credit, which is not out of the ordinary, but the district stated that some of the events shared by Gipe included activities that were occasionally unsafe. “The lack of involvement of parents in that kind of sharing was both unprofessional and irresponsible.”
Some current and former students expressed support for Gipe on social media, but the district said it also listened to students who shared discomfort about their teacher’s views or actions. The district apologized to those students who felt uncomfortable in Gipe’s classroom throughout the past three years.
“Some students have shared that the teacher has stated he believes students will move to the left as a result of his class,” the letter said. “That is unacceptable.”
The district said history and social studies teachers must teach content that can be controversial, but that the district policy makes clear that “instruction shall be presented in a balanced manner that does not promote any particular viewpoint.”

What this teacher did should be illegal. Banish him to a life, for life, in a communist country where he can teach his swill. Let him live as he seems to think others should as a communist. Ask China or N. Korea to take him in their arms and give him the life he wants. Without parole.
What do they mean “set to be fired”. You mean he’s not fired yet? What kind of insanity is this? Where are the parents of these school children?
“Set to be fired”?????…..WHY was this teacher not been fired when this first came up? Unless that area of the country wants a communist government then they had better make sure that teacher is NEVER near another young mind again.
Gipe is a perfect example of a disciple of the Frankfurt School professors and mentors he has. Gipe took years in the making. Somebody should analyze this guys past so we can see what exactly the process is that’s popping these guys out. More importantly……. Who are his superiors …… paid well to supervise this man/boy and watch that the children aren’t being abused.. This man/boy is a Communist. One walk through that classroom would have tipped a blind man that this guy is struggling with reality. Where were the School Board members who never ever walk the halls and classrooms they are purported to so closely manage. Where was the Principle, Assisstant Principle, guidance people, parents etc. This exemplifies public education. How many in his supervisory chain agree with him? Don’t ask!
