Chinese immigrant, a witness to Mass murderer Mao’s political purge, warning about indoctrination in public schools

“The radical left are the real racists”

“[Mao believed that] young people’s mind is a blank piece of paper. You can draw the most beautiful pictures or whatever he wants to draw or whatever he wants them to believe. Those are the… warning signs. That’s why, you know, we have to absolutely support that parental rights and support school choice,” she said. “Parents start[ed] to wake up to say ‘what’s going on in our schools?’ which is good thing. I’m still positive, and I’m still optimistic about our country.”

Chinese immigrant running for Congress: The radical left are the real racists

A Chinese immigrant who witnessed Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution warned against the indoctrination of children in K-12 schools with neo-Marxist ideologies such as critical race theory and The New York Times’ 1619 Project.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Lily Tang Williams, who is currently running as a Republican candidate for Congress in New Hampshire’s second district, discussed the lessons she learned as a witness to communist brutality and shared a warning to Americans on the importance of fighting for liberty.

Tang Williams was born in China’s western Sichuan province on the cusp of Mao’s deadly terror campaign – the Cultural Revolution. She currently lives in fear that the communist country she meticulously planned to escape from is unfurling before her eyes in the U.S.

The Chinese Cultural Revolution was a political purge and persecution of millions of suspected anti-revolutionaries orchestrated by Mao, who was the chairman of the People’s Republic of China from 1949 to 1976. The violent movement vehemently opposed the “Four Olds:” Old Ideas, Old Culture, Old Customs, and Old Habits and featured the destruction of cultural artifacts.

Tang Williams drew a parallel between the Chinese revolution that was based on class and what she believes is a neo-Marxist Cultural Revolution that is based on identity groups molded together into a coalition on an oppression matrix.

“Identity politics is the hallmark of Maoism,” Tang Williams said. Critical race theory and The New York Times’ 1619 Project, which hold that America is systemically racist, are all part of this revolution, the New Hampshire congressional candidate said.

“Mao used standard Marxist terms like oppressor versus oppressed,” she said. “He actually divided all Chinese citizens – because we’re [of the] same race and have [the] same skin color – into Five Black Classes versus the Five Red Classes.”
