My Socialist Hell: Venezuela’s War on Children Through Propaganda Schoolbooks

 

CARACAS, Venezuela – With the arrival of Hugo Chávez and his Bolivarian Revolution, education became a constant battlefield for Venezuela’s socialist regime against students, parents, and teachers.

 

The Revolution sought to sink its claws into classrooms from the very beginning of its rule and, slowly but surely, managed to find ways to spread its ideology through the country’s education system.

 

Much like the rest of the country as a whole, the inevitable collapse of socialism in Venezuela brought the entire public education system to ruins and did a number on the nation’s private education sector, leaving it barely hanging by a thread.

 

These days, reports of school buildings literally falling apart, even flagship schools founded by the socialist regime, are common. Teachers, who barely make $50 per month, have spent most of the year protesting and demanding better wages only to be repressed by the regime’s police and offered subsidized $1 shoes by Maduro instead of actual living wages.

 

The ongoing precarious state of Venezuela’s economy has led more than half a million children and teenagers to abandon school, with 2.9 million out of the country’s 9.2 million students having to skip school days to work to help afford food for their families.

 

One of the main goals of Venezuela’s socialist regime has been to implement systems to subtly spread its ideology through classrooms so that students grow up to be loyal socialists. Fortunately, there has always been resistance to its plans, primarily from parents and teachers.
