Gabriel Gipe, the pro-Antifa California high school teacher caught on camera boasting about having “180 days to turn them (his students) into revolutionaries,” will be fired by the school district, the Natomas Unified School District said in a letter Wednesday.
A Project Veritas video caught Inderkum High School AP Government teacher Gabriel Gipe on camera explaining his plans to politically radicalize and indoctrinate his students with his far-left, Antifa-aligned ideology.

Per Daily Caller:
The Natomas Unified School District (NUSD) said in a letter that it spent two days investigating Gipe’s actions and his classroom environment. As of Wednesday, the district put Gipe on paid leave, but the district said it would next place him on unpaid leave before firing him.
“In this video, a teacher at Inderkum High School was recorded sharing his educational approach that is disturbing and undermines the public’s trust,” NUSD’s letter said. “By taking a day and a half to investigate beyond the video, the district was able to learn more facts essential to the next steps.”
NUSD learned that Gipe violated the district’s political action guidelines that outline what staff can and cannot do while teaching. Gipe received and opened copies of these guidelines in 2018 as well as September 2020, according to the letter.
“For example, in addition to inappropriate statements from the video, the teacher posted a sign supporting a personal decision for at least local political issue, and possibly more,” the letter said.
Gipe’s classroom was cleared of all posters and signage on Wednesday morning, according to the letter. On his walls, he hung an Antifa flag, a pride flag, a Mao Zedong poster, a flag of North Korea’s ruling party and a Planned Parenthood flyer, according to photos.
NUSD said that Gipe purchased stamps with his own money that included “an inappropriate image of Josef Stalin with an insensitive phrase, as well as other stamps with Fidel Castro, Kim Jung Un and others.”
