As we discussed one week ago. Ron Gochez is a school teacher in LA, that has some revolutionary ideas (of the Marxist variety). In my last post on Mr. Gochez, I showed a video of him making a speech supporting La Raza. That video has made a major splash on the internet, and made FOX News by midweek. The MSM, of course, chose to ignore it. Here is the original video.
On Thursday, FOX News interviewed him. Here is that video.
Now, there are two item in FOX interview that raise questions for me. First, in the FOX interview, he states that he does not teach his political ideas in school. However, at the very beginning of his first video, he states that the previous speaker was one of his students, and how proud he was of that student. The second aspect is that if you go to his personal page at his school, you see that he is a…
School of Public Service and Social Justice faculty member (Emphasis mine).
So, if he is teaching “social justice,” he IS teaching Marxism. You can’t just change the name and tell us that it’s something different.
Additionally, he is not asked about, nor does he explain the anti-Semitic comments he has made in the past.
Well, we find more on Ron Gochez with a little digging. For one thing the guy’s a rabid anti-Semite. In 2002, he published a Letter to the Editor, at SDSU’s Daily Aztec, entitled “The Jewish-owned media continue to blind the masses with propaganda to keep them in fear.” The letter’s been taken down, but not the responses to it.
So, as you can see, there seems to be more to this than meets the eye. For additional insight into Mr. Gochez’s beliefs, here are two more videos.
“Occupied territory of Mexico?”
And he helps folks evade immigration.
My opinion is simple, the words from his FOX interview, and his words and actions described in the videos above, do not match.
Mr. Gochez is listed on the Useful Idiot of the Month poll. For the uninitiated, the term, “Useful Idiot,” was allegedly coined by Lenin to describe people in western countries that supported communism. Unfortunately for the useful idiots, they were often the first to the wall when the communists took over. After all, you can’t have idealism interfering with your totalitarianism, can you? Hopefully, Mr. Gochez won’t have to embrace that reality.

I believe that future generations should have the same opportunities that myself, and those that came before me, had. My parents taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do. I don’t want to have to tell my daughter, “You can do whatever the government tells you to do.” We are at a crossroads in this country; are we going to be free, or are we going to be slaves to the nanny state. I choose freedom.

Thanks for the link.
Your right, his words on Fox News and the ones in the videos don’t match up. I believe Mr. Gochez even said in his Fox news interview that he teaches capitalism is bad, and then says he doesn’t teach his political ideas. Those two just don’t jive together. I tend to think that his revolution may not be as peaceful as Mr. Gochez says that he’s promoting.
Folks like that talk peace until things don’t go their way, or until they have their people in place. Then, with history as our teacher, millions die.
Matt, I’ve got a useful Idiot for you, Bill O’Reilly. While the American public is getting very concerned about big government, O’Reilly wants more big government, while saying government can’t solve problems in other areas.
When did O’Reilly suggest that? He does tick me off from time to time, but what specifically did he say regarding this issue?
?Ask and you shall receive, A few weeks ago O’Reilly admitted the government messed up the
markets, i.e. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, but said that more government regulation was needed.
As a matter of fact I did posts on it, Bill O’Reilly Believes the Feds can Fix the Problems it Created (http://solomonsconservativewisdom.blogspot.com/2010/04/bill-oreilly-believes-feds-can-fix.html) & The Case against the Feds regulating the the Problems they created (http://solomonsconservativewisdom.blogspot.com/2010/04/case-against-feds-regulating-the.html), also there was the one with the interview with Steward Rhodes, founder of the Oathkeepers, were O’Reilly just wants the police and soldiers to follow orders, like what they did during Katrina, and let the courts worry about whether it was constitutional down the road.
that makes him the useful Idiot of the year to me, with his show and reach.
Thanks you for the info Solomon.
ah yes Matt..He gets all the free speech he wants eh..how destructive is this!! HAPPY MONDAY my friend!
You’re right Angel. They use free speech to promote their ideas, and when they get power, free speech suddenly get’s shut off.
To Los Angeles Unified School District,
We are writing you with great concern about a teacher currently employed by LAUSD. He is Ron Gochez, a history teacher at Santee High School. Our concerns and comments will now go on record. We will be forwarding this letter also to all LAUSD Board of Education members, the LAUSD ethics committee, Mayor Villaraigosa, L. A. County District Attorney Steve Cooley, the Governor, and many, many others. Firstly, you are aware of Ron Gochez’s ‘La Raza’ rally speech he had on UCLA campus some time ago. His speech at that rally was extremely inflammatory and racist! A person is defined by his words and his actions. This man promotes violence! He spews hate and speaks of the destruction of our society! He calls for an outright revolution against the United States! In his own words, against us “these people, these frail, racist, white people”. Why is this man still employed by LAUSD? How can LAUSD allow this man to teach in our schools! It defies any logic or common sense!
For the record I must cite a few facts below that you may or may not be aware of;
(1) From the ‘La Raza’ rally at UCLA;
In Ron’s own words; He refers to Americans, “these people, these frail, racist, white people”. He goes on to proclaim “Where we now stand is stolen, occupied Mexico,” “We are a revolutionary Mexican organization here,” he said in the video. “We understand that this is not just about Mexico. It’s about a global struggle against imperialism and capitalism. At the forefront of this revolutionary movement is La Raza. We will no longer fall for these lies called borders! We see America as a northern front of a revolutionary movement. Our enemy is capitalism and imperialism.” “a northern front of a Latin American revolutionary movement.” He says there are 40 million of “our people” north of the Rio Grande, ” and that means “40 million potential revolutionaries north of the border, inside the belly of the beast,” and he says they are a “culture of revolutionary spirit.” Video documented here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGqPo5ofk0s
(2) To give a simple definition of ‘La Raza’ and its agenda, from their own website;
‘MEChA’ members refer to themselves as “La Raza” and vice versa. (The Race)
According to MEChA, the Southwestern United States — including California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, as well as parts of Nevada, Utah, and Colorado — sits on the territory of the “Nation of Aztlan.” Supposedly the cradle of Aztec civilization.
MEChA (‘La Raza’) charges that Aztlan was unjustly seized by the United States following the Mexican-American War. Now MEChA wants this territory given back to its alleged rightful owners: the people and government of Mexico.
“Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. … We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan.”
“For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.”
This closing two-sentence motto is chilling to everyone who values equal rights for all.
It says: “For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing.”
(3) Ron Gochez made a conference presentation at ““THE STRUGGLE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE IN EDUCATION” – 2nd Annual Assoc. of Raza Educators Conference.” Gochez’s presentation? No surprise here: “How to be a teacher AND an Organizer: Putting Revolutionary Theory into Practice!”
Ron Góchez, M.Ed., LAUSD, Association of Raza Educators, Los Angeles
“Come and learn how to organize! Ever feel like you wanted to organize something but didn’t know how? Come learn some basic/practical tactics that you can use to advance Social Justice both inside and outside of your classroom! As A.R.E we believe that being a Social Justice educator means being able to organize students, parents and fellow teachers! Come learn how from teachers who have led successful struggles in South Central LA”.

Social Justice Educator/Community Organizer
This man’s agenda, and his beliefs are not his own! He continues to promote his agenda in our public schools even today! This man is a radical revolutionary and a racist in every sense of the word! He stands against the United States of America and any ‘white’ American. His agenda is dangerous and destructive! His teachings are corrosive! His cause is revolution! He professes all of this, anytime and everywhere, including LAUSD campuses! This has been documented!
He should have been terminated as a teacher LONG ago, immediately after his ‘La Raza’ rally speech! He has been manipulating this school district for many years to promote his hate, his violence, his racism, his revolution! He is molding the minds of our school children to his cause! As an employee of our most sacred of public workers, an educator of OUR children, it is outrageous that he proclaims his words of hate, racism, and revolution everywhere! He is a traitor to this city, a traitor to our children’s welfare and education, a traitor to our State, and a traitor to the United States! It is further to go on record Ron Gochez has used LAUSD, and his employment status as a ‘teacher’ for LAUSD for a platform to promote his agenda, revolution and his corruptive beliefs to his students. These are facts. This alone is valid cause for termination! On the teacher’s code of ethics violations are yet more grounds he should be fired! This cannot and will not be tolerated as a public employee! A teacher, an educator? He is neither! He has been promoting racially motivated revolution in our schools for years. We call for the immediate termination of this radical activist from his employment as a TEACHER in the LAUSD!!! The destruction this man has caused to our educational system and to our children as YOUR employee is indescribable! His words, his racism, and his agenda are a slap in the face to every Parent, every Citizen, and every American in our United States of America. His words are not those protected by free speech! Free speech does NOT protect words of revolution, treason, racism and hate when these words are professed to his ‘students’, our children, and they instill violence! It is on record LAUSD has not taken any disciplinary action. Certainly LAUSD has never taken the proper action by firing him! His words promote revolution and instill treason against OUR STATES and OUR COUNTRY!!! Our teachers, the educators of our children, as public employees must respect and teach the laws of our cities, the laws of our states, and the laws of our country! ALL OF THEM! We as parents demand his immediate termination! He is still today corrupting OUR children and OUR schools! LAUSD, we will not rest until he is terminated and removed as your employee! We will not stop until he is no longer able to promote a ‘revolution’ by ANY definition, incite violence, or instill hate and racism in our children, and in our schools, as a teacher employed in the State of California. We will not tolerate him using our educational system or any school district as a PLATFORM to promote his ‘Revolutionary’ agenda any longer!
Ron Gochez’s radical agenda, and his words of revolution, racism, and hate are soon to ignite a powder keg in our schools, in our streets and our state! And will it be caused by a ‘teacher’ employed by the Los Angeles Unified School District? We can see all the resulting lawsuits and news headlines now!
This letter and our demands will be posted EVERYWHERE!!! We have only begun…
To each of you we ask this question;
Would you allow this man to teach YOUR CHILD??? Ever?
We demand you uphold your own District’s Code of Ethics below and terminate him…

Judge me as a politician.” The public no longer credits that line of reasoning—as our politicians keep finding out. There is no dividing up ethics into compartments: There’s only ethics.”
(3) “A. Commitment to Excellence. We are committed to being the best school district and personnel we can be, educating our students to their maximum potential.
