The John W. Pope Civitas Institute had a crowd of 60-70 protesters from Raleigh F.I.S.T. gather outside its office around 4:30 PM today. They denounced our group and even went so far as to boo when the speaker shouted “SCHOOL CHOICE”! It seems as if F.I.S.T. members are unfortunately against educational choice and freedom. Video is included below. So who is this F.I.S.T.? Images of Marx and Che Guevara adorn the group’s website, providing links to their book “What is Marxism All About?” and stating that “the only way to achieve true liberation for all peoples throughout the world is through socialism.” I guess “liberation” doesn’t involve educational freedom; so much for logic. Regardless, this is a group of youths that must have fallen asleep in history class when discussions of the U.S.S.R. and Cuba arose. Hmm, I wonder how those countries are faring now?
