<p>As usual, California leads the nation.  The good citizens of the Golden State have discovered a <a href="http://www.cnngo.com/shanghai/life/daily-show-takes-us-school-crisis-caused-chinas-confucius-institutes-494602">nefarious plot</a> by the communist Chinese to infiltrate our schools and brainwash our children.  It works like this.<span id="more-268"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confucius_Institute">The Confucius Institute</a>, a non-profit funded by the Chinese government, is supplying a language and culture curriculum for U.S. middle schools. Sure, cash-strapped schools get free lesson plans and materials to help students study Chinese &#8211; but what&#8217;s the <em>real</em> price?</p>
<p>Fortunately, the ever-alert citizens of Hacienda Heights, California, have recognized this program for what it is: A communist plot to brainwash our children.</p>
<p>Jon Stewart, America&#8217;s best journalist, produced <a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-june-7-2010/socialism-studies">this expose</a> explaining it all.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, all Americans are warned to avoid Chinese food, Chinese laundries, and yes, Chinese checkers.  All could lead to communist sympathies.</p>
<p>Remember, the Department of Homeland Security wants you to know the threat level is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeland_Security_Advisory_System">orange</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, avoid looking at these pictures of those involved in the communist plot:</p>
