陈凯一语： Kai Chen's Words:

Jay Chen and his cohorts on the left will always use political correctness with its main ingredient "diversity" to try to destroy Americanism. Now they toss the poison mushroom from China into the "diverse" salad to serve you and your children. Do you really believe the communist mushroom engineered by Mao and his cohorts can nourish you and your family?? --- Kai Chen

Jay Chen 与像他一样的美左们永远会用“政治正确”与“多样化”去妄图消灭美国的建国精神--生命、自由与对幸福的追求。 现在他们将从中共那里搬来的毒蘑菇搅拌在沙拉里用“多样化”的口号塞到你和你的子女们的口里。 你真的相信那些毒死了八千万中国人的共产毒蘑会营养你和你的家人吗？！ --- 陈凯

​Jay Chen, a member of the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District Board of Education, informs on his Facebook page that The Daily Show With Jon Stewart segment on a district school's controversial Confucius Classroom airs tonight.

"My Daily Show interview with Aasif re: our Chinese Class is scheduled to air tonight, at 11 p.m.," writes Chen of the fake news show's correspondent Aasif Mandvi and the language and culture classes that have come under fire for being tied to a red Chinese government takeover of impressionable young American minds.

Speaking of Mandvi and China, above is a recent story he did showing that Wham-O moving its production of Frisbees, hula hoops and pool noodles from China to the U.S. is reverse colonialism.

Chen says he is "proud" of the district's decision in January to approve launching a Confucius Classroom next fall at Cedarlane Middle School in Hacienda Heights, with the Chinese government's Chinese Language Council International, also known as HanBan, picking up the tab. HanBan has established 272 Confucius Classrooms worldwide since 2005. The collegiate version, Confucius Institutes, have been implemented in 282 universities over that same period.

"As someone who was born in the U.S. but grew up and worked in Asia and Latin America, I can't stress enough the importance we need to place in teaching our students a second or third language, such as Spanish or Mandarin, two of the most widely spoken languages in the world," Chen wrote in a May 25 open letter to the community.

Someone else who was not born in the U.S. but in China--Los Angeles-based activist Kai Chen (no relation to Jay, presumably)--previously informed Clockwork that cameras from The Daily Show would be turning up at an early May Hacienda La Puente Unified School District Board of Education meeting where Kai and other Confucius Classroom foes confronted Jay and the other trustees.

Indeed, Kai Chen--who first came to Clockwork's attention last September when he organized demonstrations over the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum's Mao Tse-Tung statue in Yorba Linda--later lamented the fact that he was not interviewed on camera for the fake news report.

But that snub was more than made up for thanks to interviews the night of the school board meeting by Japanese television and subsequent coverage of his anti-Confucius Classroom campaign by a host of outlets, including (partial list): Epoch Times, The New American, Ron Paul's Daily Paul, San Gabriel Valley Tribune and, naturally, Fox News, which has featured the Chen interview on several of its programs.

Jay Chen writes in his open letter that activists like Kai Chen are spreading "a great deal of misinformation," including "accusations that our teachers will be brainwashing students with Communist ideology."

"I find it curious and disappointing that a handful of individuals have chosen to make our diverse community ground zero for a false propaganda campaign, and have cast aspersions on the intentions and abilities of our great teachers," Jay Chen states. "With budget cuts looming, now is not the time to attack teachers or deny our students an opportunity to expand their horizons past ours."

Kai Chen--an author and former Red Army and Chinese national basketball team member who vehemently opposes what he views as an oppressive Chinese regime--wore an Olympic Freedom T-shirt when he addressed the school board the night The Daily Show cameras rolled.

"They recorded my speech," he later told Clockwork, "but I doubt they will air it."

We'll apparently find out if he was right tonight on Comedy Central.
