‘Little Red Classrooms’ Exist, Undetected by U.S. Parents
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has funded Chinese language teaching programs in at least 143 K-12 school districts in 34 states and the District of Columbia, according to a report by Parents Defending Education (PDE), a parent activist group, released on Wednesday.
PDE identifies these Confucius classrooms as “little red classrooms,” an extension of the Confucius Institutes (CIs). CIs are partially funded by the CCP, which picks and pays for textbooks and selects and pays Chinese nationals who come to the United States to teach Chinese language, culture, and history.

In August 2020, the State Department designated CIs’ D.C.-based headquarters as a “foreign mission” of China based on the CIs’ “skewed Chinese language and cultural training for U.S. students as part of Beijing’s multifaceted propaganda efforts,” and that the CI language programs were under guidance from the CCP’s United Front Work Department, the leading agency in charge of influence operations.
“This is not to imply that all Chinese language programs in K-12 schools are evil by any stretch,” Nicole Neily, president of PDE, told The Epoch Times.
“But people should know who is involved in the curriculum, who has oversight, and where their teachers are coming from,” she added. “If the teachers are coming over and have been blessed and approved by Han Ban, then that should raise questions for parents as to what children are learning.
“What version of Chinese history are they learning? Are they learning a one-child or a One China policy? Are they learning about Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Uyghurs, or are they getting a very sanitized version of China?”
Han Ban was known as the CI headquarters. In July 2020, it announced the transfer of CIs to the Chinese International Education Foundation, a self-described “non-governmental charitable organization.” According to a 2023 report (pdf) by the Congressional Research Service, both entities are sponsored by the CCP’s Ministry of Education. . . .
On Wednesday, Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) wrote a letter to U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, calling for a Department of Education investigation into the CCP’s influence in K-12 classrooms per the PDE report.
Ms. Neily is pleased with the reactions from lawmakers but said, “We would love to have more people to weigh in.”

CCP is communist and America is diametrically opposed to a communist culture or government. As Americans, we should be on alert to prevent any propaganda that promotes communism. We are to pray for our leaders and seek to promote the truth.
Father God As I read the article and what this Administration has allowed to infiltrate our schools, our children, their minds, their knowledge. Father God another devious move from another set up by this Administration to destroy our children. “ Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) wrote a letter to U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, calling for a Department of Education investigation into the CCP’s influence in K-12 classrooms per the PDE report. God I call down prayers from heaven, I ask in our Fathers name that the seed of the devil would be destroyed that all the “ K-12 schools are being taught evil . God this “ little red classrooms,” that they are teaching us not good. God the scriptures say- “ Jude 1-4” For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Galatians 2-4” Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery— Father God as I read about Confucius it seems very ungodly words of teaching, that American Children will understand or should be taught. God I call down removal of these books of teachings our children are confused enough. “ God as I read many lines of what was written this special section of reading I felt was not something the children should be taught. “ Such a government, reinforced with the civilizing powers of rites and music, does not need complex laws and edicts to keep the people in check. Confucius said, “Guide the people with ordinances and statutes and keep them in line with [threats of] punishment, they will try to stay out of trouble but will have no sense of shame. If you guide them with exemplary virtue and keep them in line with the practice of the rites, they will have sense of shame and will know to reform themselves” (Analects, 2) Heavenly Father I call upon Jesus name to break the bondage that no one seems to know what the children are learning, or if it a cult of statistics the CCP use. God parents were warned about the teachings of this programs “ Parents Defending Education uncovered contracts that show Confucius Classrooms, or other Chinese government backed programing, are still in operation at the following schools: God we ask you to expose this Communist Infiltration in these schools and speak to parents hearts they must be parents over their children if they want them to know the name of Jesus. God we need you, every hour it seems a plot to destroy the children crops up. Trusting God’s Love for Us. I declare this Communist take over concerning our children be broken in the name of Jesus. Jesus what has happening to the parents that they do not know what their children are being fed. 🙏🙏✝️✝️
Again we see the need for oversight by parents, Christian teachers, Christian administrators, school boards and every community member in our children’s education. LORD, awaken and instruct us how to pray and take action to protect our children. May truth prevail!
