SACRAMENTO, CA – A teacher from Inderkum High School in Sacramento is reportedly on their way to being fired by the school district, according to reports.
This, following an undercover video from Project Veritas that showed the teacher nonchalantly discussing how he radicalizes his students to become far-left militants.

Inderkum High School AP government teacher Gabriel Gipe managed to gain the national spotlight – but not in any way he likely wanted – after Project Veritas released a video showing obtained footage where Gipe casually bragged about how he radicalizes students in his classroom.
While speaking with an undercover journalist, Gipe boasted how he has a limited timeframe to radicalize students:
“I have 180 days to turn them (the students) into revolutionaries.”
When Gipe was asked how he accomplishes this, he replied:
“I scare the fuck out of them.”
During the interaction with the undercover journalist, Gipe then talked about his links to local Antifa outfits:
“The Sacramento organization that is under the banner of Antifa is very loosely organized, right? So, like, when there’s right wing rallies and stuff, we like, we’ll create an opposition to that. Yeah.”
Gipe also explained how he gives his students “extra credit” assignments for them to attend Antifa protests, so that way they’re attracted to the idea of attending far-left demonstrations:
“And so like I do it for extra credit. So, they get points for doing it. Like and so, that encourages them to do it…And I’ve had students show up for protests, community events, tabling, food distribution. All sorts of things.”
“When they go, they take pictures, write up a reflection, that’s their extra credit.”
Not only did Gipe encourage his students – who are minors, keep in mind – to attend what often turn out to be violent demonstrations, he also bragged about his Antifa flag proudly displayed inside of his classroom and how he inferred to students who disagreed with the flag that they’re fascists:
“Like, I have an Antifa flag on my wall. And a student complained about that, and he said it made him feel uncomfortable. Well, this is made to make fascists feel uncomfortable, so if you feel uncomfortable, I don’t really know what to tell you. Maybe you shouldn’t be aligning with the values that this is antithetical to.”
The video, which is roughly 12 minutes long, is pretty damning, needless to say.
Natomas Unified school board member Micah Grant was among the first to voice his concerns over the released video of Gipe, saying the following on Facebook:
“I am a lifelong defender of individual freedoms and personal expression, but I am deeply concerned with what I’ve seen in the video.”
“Parents depend on us to provide a safe and nurturing educational environment for their children and we have a responsibility to address any allegations where a teacher may have pressured students into conforming to his or her personal beliefs.
I have full faith that our Superintendent will thoroughly investigate this situation and that appropriate action will follow.”
And now the Natomas Unified School District is taking action against Gipe. When the video began going viral when circulating online, the school district released the following statement:
“Yesterday, a group released an undercover video that has been covered extensively. In this video, a teacher at Inderkum High School was recorded sharing his educational approach that is disturbing and undermines the public’s trust.”
The statement continued from there, saying that Gipe was placed on leave and that they’re taking steps to ensure he’s terminated from his position:
“As of today, this teacher was placed on paid leave because of his actions and choices in the classroom. Natomas Unified will be taking the legally required next steps to place the teacher on unpaid leave and fire the teacher.”
When citing the reasons for termination, the school district pointed to several violations of employee conduct that Gipe had been engaged in while teaching at the school, namely specific policies revolving around advocating “for and against ballot measures on school property”, “conducting political activity during work hours”, and trying to “encourage or discourage political activity” of students during work hours.
The school also confirmed that they removed the Antifa flag from the classroom, as well as a poster Mao Zedong – but also revealed in their statement that even more disturbing material were found inside Gipe’s classroom:
“Additionally, the teacher, using his own money, purchased a series of rubber stamps. These stamps include an inappropriate image of Josef Stalin with an insensitive phrase, as well as other stamps with Fidel Castro, Kim Jung Un and others.”
Apparently, Gipe would use these stamps to mark completed classroom assignments.

We at Law Enforcement Today have shared previous reports regarding Antifa-enthusiasts trying to radicalize youth.
Back in August, we shared an investigative deep-dive like no other outlet has exposing a “summer camp” in Portland that shapes youths into becoming Antifa militants.
Here’s that previous report.

PORTLAND, OR – As insane as it might sound, the city of Portland plays host to a summer camp (aimed specifically at young children) that is setting up youths to pursue a path to political extremism later on in their lives.
The summer camp is called Budding Roses, and the summer camp was founded by a literal “Anarchist Federation”.
According to Budding Roses’ “About” section of their website, the following is written regarding the founding of this Portland summer camp:
“Budding Roses was founded as a project of Black Rose/Rosa Negra Anarchist Foundation, inspired by global examples of mutual aid and popular education projects like the Paideia Free School in Spain and the Black Panther’s Free Breakfast Programs, and Paolo Friere’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed.”
Further along the “About” section of Budding Roses’ website, the people behind this summer camp proclaim their efforts are meant to turn children into the next generation of protesters in Portland:
“We believe that empowering youth to become critically engaged with social justice issues lays the groundwork for transformational social change tomorrow and today.
We see returning campers taking on leadership roles at camp, getting involved in their communities, holding banners at marches, and initiating discussion about social issues with their parents.”
This is perhaps some of the most well-thought, innocuous-seeming language ever employed to openly admit that Budding Roses is crafting the next round of professional protesters (a.k.a., future rioters) to terrorize Portland.
For instance, we’ll go back to the founders of Budding Roses – which is the Black Rose Anarchist Federation.
According to the mission statement of Black Rose Anarchist Federation, the organization claims to be made up of “revolutionaries who share common visions of a new world” where they hope “people collectively control their own workplaces” – also known as Marxism – and “society is organized for peoples’ aspirations, passions, and needs rather than profit.”
And Black Rose Anarchist Federation claims in their mission statement that this Marxist society can only be accomplished by overthrowing “the state and capitalism” – also known as political violence:
“We believe that this vision can only be brought about through the revolutionary power of the working class organized in the workplaces, community, schools, and streets to overthrow the state and capitalism and build a new world from the bottom up.”
It’s not a coincidence that Black Rose Anarchist Federation named their summer camp “Budding Roses” – the summer camp is being used as an indoctrination camp to put children on a pathway to eventually join in the efforts to “overthrow the state and capitalism” once they become teens and young adults.
It’s of little surprise to see that Black Rose Anarchist Federation also promotes Antifa in their blogs, promoting the 2017 book by Mark Bray “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook”. But then again, it would make sense that Black Rose Anarchist Federation would promote Mark Bray’s Antifa book – considering that Mark Bray is a member of Black Rose Anarchist Federation.
During the summer of 2020, when concerns of the pandemic lead to numerous in-person gathering establishments being closed down, Budding Roses was among those entities that closed down the summer camp for the period.
But that closure prompted Budding Roses to create a “Summer Kit full of activities that campers could do remotely”, according to the curriculum portion of the camp’s website.
This portal, which is still active, gives an inside look at the tools employed by Budding Roses to help them create the next generation of black-bloc rioters that will be destroying businesses, attacking police, and the sort in the years to come.
One of the activities included in the summer camp is a “Walking Tour of Radical Portland”, where children are urged to visit these sites in the city “where radical events have taken place throughout history and today” – which include the Macadam ICE building where “Occupy ICE” transpired and the Plaza Blocks outside of the federal courthouse and Multnomah County Justice Center that was habitually terrorized in 2020.
There is of course a “What is Police Abolition” guide that paints defunding police and ending policing altogether as a good thing – as the guide from Budding Roses reads:
“Abolishing police means looking at how we can care for each other instead of punishing people and communities for being poor. We would all be a lot safer if everyone had access to the things they needed. That could mean a lot of different things!”
If that isn’t enough indoctrination to turn children into future radicals, Budding Roses ensures that campers have access to the “Budding Roses Protest and Chant Book”.
Through this protest and chant book, young children in Portland can learn such Antifa classics like “no borders, no nation, stop deportations” and “cops and borders, we don’t need them, what we want is total freedom”.
There is also an instructional booklet download for these young campers to learn about the effects of tear gas, and also provides illustrated pictures on how to contain tear gas that police use when people are rioting.
Perhaps the icing on the cake is the guide on “Reflections of Privilege and White Supremacy”, where there’s an activity portion specifically “for white youth” that tasks kids with asking themselves “What parts of white supremacy do you see in yourself or in your family”.
Budding Roses may call itself a “summer camp”, but it is something more nefarious. It is an indoctrination camp meant to radicalize youths into becoming violent rioters in Portland.
