Weaponizing Children: Three Things the Left Lied About, February 7, 2026
The lies of the Left are bad enough, but when they involve children, they are especially disturbing. Activists and mainstream media are quick to prop up their agendas and narratives by using impressionable youth. This is a classic tactic employed by socialists and communist groups, who aren’t interested in “kindness” or “democracy.” Their main goal is “revolution.”

Pre-Schoolers Used as Political Tools
The Libs of TikTok posted a shocking video that shows preschoolers at Chloe Day School in New York acting out an anti-ICE protest. The teacher in the video begins by explaining, “Today is a National Day of Protest…we decided in solidarity that we will support all those who are out protesting against the violence that we see, the harm that we see happening to our friends.” In the background, a man is holding up a sign that reads, “We are stronger together.”
Next, the teacher directs the children to act out how they feel about ICE and “what they want to see happening in our government” to change the harm. The teacher begins asking students to vocalize their ideas. One child, with some coaching, responds, “I feel angry because I don’t like to see others hurt or taken away from their families.” The teacher asks more children to respond, coaching them to declare, “Stop the hating…Enough is enough! Stop hurting people…Love is enough. Stop hurting people!”
A woman in the video states, “United, we are powerful. Our words are strong. Kindness is free. Let’s do the right thing.” Another woman adds, “Just stop hating and be kind to one another.” The teacher ends the mock protest by proclaiming, “We are fighting with you.”
Weaponized Kindness
In the video, it’s clear that the children are just going along with what the teacher and other adults are doing. These sweet, innocent ones are certainly not mature enough to understand the complexities of what’s happening in the recent protests against ICE. It’s easy to see that they are being used as tools for a political movement.
Chloe Day School and Wellness Center identifies itself as a “progressive, trauma-informed Early Childhood program and Summer Arts Camp,” as well as a “Reggio-Emilia-inspired school that believes in diversity and inclusion,” and “family empowerment.”
The video has received a lot of backlash. One user on X commented, “Yup. Groomed into being leftwing activists.” Another wrote, “This is sickening. These kids have no idea what ICE and illegals are.” Others posted memes in response, such as “When politics enters the classroom, it ceases to be education and becomes indoctrination.”
We are living in a world where down is up and up is down. It is now considered “kind” to allow lawlessness to abound. It is “hateful” to enforce the law. It is acceptable to use preschool children as political weapons. All of this reminds us that we cannot give in to radicalism. Instead, we need radical prayer that changes the hearts and minds of our citizens.
Alleged Tale of Torture was a Giant Hoax
The next lie told by the Left this week goes all the way back to 2021 when major media outlets such as NBC, CNN, and People ran with a wild tale which alleged that “white middle schoolers in Plano, Texas, viciously tortured SeMarion Humphrey, their black classmate, forcing him to drink their urine at a sleepover as they shot him with BB guns.” When the story first broke, Black Lives Matter jumped in to defend the young boy, charging the school district with doing “nothing” to stop the “racially motivated hate crime.” Public marches were organized where protesters demanded justice. A GoFundMe account brought in almost $120,000 to pay for “therapy and private schooling” for the boy.
The Truth Comes Out
But now, just under five years after the alleged incident, a Texas jury, made up of racially diverse people, has ruled that the “whole thing was a hoax.” The Free Beacon reports that a Texas district court judge has awarded $3.2 million in damages to Asher Vann, the student who was accused of planning the alleged “torture,” for “intentionally smearing him and tarnishing his future earning potential,” as a result of the widespread media coverage of the “fake hate crime.”
Vann shared that none of the media outlets that published the story reached out to him for his side. He explained, “I was getting death threats from thousands of people on social media,” adding that protesters came to his house, launching bricks at it. “It was scary. These were adults, and I was in middle school at the time. Full-grown adults were rushing my house and causing harm to it. What if I was home and they saw me? They could have ripped me from my home and beaten me. It was very scary.”
In the end, the jury found that the events of the sleepover had been twisted and embellished in order to portray a racially motivated attack on a young black boy. It was also discovered that the mother of SeMarion Humphrey used money from the GoFundMe account to purchase a designer dog, beauty products, liquor, vapes, cell phones, dinners, car payments, and rent.
It’s disturbing and disheartening when the media jumps on racially charged stories with an obvious bias that is meant to stir up division and anger among citizens. Americans want truth and transparency instead of blatant propaganda and deception that’s meant to sway opinions in one direction.
National “Walk-Outs” are Signs of Indoctrination
The third lie told by the Left this week revolves around the recent “walk-outs” that occurred on January 30, 2026, at schools around the country in response to ICE immigration crackdowns. Investigative journalist Alex Newman writes, “What organizers described as a ‘national shutdown’ — urging ‘no work, no school, no shopping’— saw middle school, high school, and college students abandon their studies in large numbers. The official excuse was federal immigration enforcement and supposed concern for illegal immigrants, with students chanting ‘F*** ICE,’ ‘F*** Trump,’ and other obscenities.”
Thousands of California students participated, with hundreds walking out in Texas cities like San Antonio and Austin. Reports show that students in 46 states were involved in some way with the protests. The University of Minnesota played a “key role in coordination.”
In some places, students held up signs by the side of the road, urging drivers to honk. One student remarked, “We’re here to protest ICE and what they’re doing all over the country, especially in Minnesota. It’s not right to treat our neighbors and our fellow Americans this way.”
Follow the Socialists
While the legacy media makes it seem like the entire country is on board with these protests, in reality, there are large numbers of parents who are extremely upset that their children are being “indoctrinated and weaponized for political purposes.” Woke news reports suggest that the protests are “grassroots uprisings” organized by concerned students, but evidence points to the usual suspects: powerful teachers’ unions, well-funded radical student groups, and socialist organizations that have “ties to foreign influences and dark-money funding networks.”
Liberty Sentinel president Alex Newman has studied the history and strategies of communist movements for many years and stresses that the protests are an age-old way of creating revolution that sparks anger and division. Anti-American groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Freedom Road Socialist Organization, and Revolutionary Communists of America are actively mobilizing citizens to revolt against ICE.
Newman warns that the public educational system is not being used to help children understand immigration law, national security, and personal responsibility. Instead, it’s radicalizing children. While less than one-third of students are proficient in core subjects, the sad fact is that they are becoming very skilled at “revolution.”
The lies of the Left point to serious issues plaguing our country. Division, “revolution,” and activism are being used to destroy our nation. Lord Jesus, we ask for Your mercy and grace as we fight these battles with spiritual weapons. There are certainly demonic forces at play, and we need the full armor of God to defeat them. Direct our prayers and actions so we can defeat the enemy.
These are just a few of the lies the Left has told this week. How are you praying?
