I'm pretty sure one of our school board trustees is becoming a communist before my eyes (via Instagram). Ironically, even though he lives a block away from me, he's not the rep for my ward, which is a shame (our actual rep seems good, though not nearly as much of a radical leftist).
Once, at a board meeting, he asked what administration is doing to make sure we're not just teaching kids to be cogs in the capitalist system (a paraphrase, but pretty close to what he actually said).
