Marxist teachers at Mercer Island High School

Oh dear, looks like I've seriously underestimated the challenges facing Mercer Island schools.  Not only are we underfunded, but look at what one blogger uncovered about our community:

The school Ann [Dunham, mother of Barack Obama] attended, Mercer Island High School, was a hotbed of pro-Marxist radical teachers. John Stenhouse, board member, told the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party USA and this school has a number of Marxists on it's staff. Two teachers at this school, Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman, both Frankfurt School style Marxists, taught a critical theory curriculum to students which include d; rejection of societal norms, attacks on Christianity, the traditional family, and assigned readings by Karl Marx. The hallway between Foubert’s and Wichterman classrooms was sometimes called "anarchy ally."

The pieces are beginning to come together.  Censorship of offensive art, the band's recent trip to Communist China, photos of Lenin on a new Mercer Island resident's blog?  Coincidence?  or am I just drinking too much raw milk?
