IMO, think more of it being Marxism than communism. It really began to ramp up once we allowed Herbert Marcuse to enter this country (1933) after the breakup of the Frankfurt school in Germany (Hitler wasn't a fan of Marxism/ Communism obviously) and install him into the OSS which was the precursor for the CIA.

I believe it was Max Horkheimer that bemoaned to other Frankfurt school philosophers that the working class proletariat was lost to capitalism as they had means to purchase things and freedom of movement with some money.

This caused Marcuse to look for oppressed peoples to form a new proletariat. Marcuse found the blacks (negro class he called them) as a group that was prime to be courted to his cause. Along with blacks, he sought out the gay and queer populations as others who could be their own proletariat.

Our education system has been under attack for years (80s) since Henry Jerue was enamored by the writings of Paulo Frierre.
