Is this what goes on in America nowadays?
Doesn't the importance of impartiality mean anything any more in education?
Impartiality is defined as fair, equitable, unprejudiced, unbiased and objective. It is important in educating children so that they develop abilities to gather clear and accurate information from reliable sources, examine it in an objective manner, form balanced opinions before making decisions, that sort of things.

Pro-Antifa High School Teacher in California Admits Communist Indoctrination of Students ... ‘I Have 180 Days to Turn Them into Revolutionaries’ … Other Teachers ‘on the Same Page’ … ‘There is a Reason Why These Kids are Becoming Further Left’

And since this is an article by Project Veritas, which I believe is an American far right activist group, is it plausible that similarly, there are far-right teachers in American public schools who are indoctrinating children with their ideology?

This teacher went over the line. There are extremists who shouldn't be teaching of all political stripes. Still, it's the GOP who is trying to get their beliefs taught in school, not sure there are any Dem attempts to do so.

How often do Conservatives seek to insert Creationism into the curriculum? Or to simply degrade the quality of the instruction when they can't. Being neutral would be the noble objective. The reality is that one side respects the rules with some exceptions. The other side doesn't respect the rules unless ordered by a court. Needless to say, opposing fascism wasn't always a ' leftist ' proposition.

Impartiality is a myth. Each and every one of us has biases -- some of them much destructive than others. The best that we can do is to (1) admit our biases to ourselves and others, and state them up front so that our words can be taken with a grain of salt, In dealing with any issue examine our out biases are influencing our decision-making and asking ourselves" "Is what I really want>"

You're right; 100% impartiality is impossible, but at least in the UK, it is in the job description. Plus, we have regular audits to ensure that no extreme views are propagated to influence children's minds.

Schools should be aware of their duties regarding impartiality and treatment of political
issues. Sections 406 and 407 of the Education Act 1996 require maintained schools to
prevent political indoctrination and secure the balanced treatment of political issues.

It's white supremacist or Christian nationalist propaganda.
No one is selling Communism because there's no market for it.
However wanting more social responsibility from government isn't Communism.
We're talking infrastructure, they call it Socialism and the really out of touch call it Communism despite being corrected over and over by everyone.
Communism = everything conservatives dislike including Democrats, BLM, and Antifa, Antifa being their new Illuminati a made up villain to blame conspiracy theories on.

So, is this incident where a pro-Antifa teacher tried to indoctrinate his students fake news?

@Ryo1 For all either of us know it's entirely made up.
The premise is so ignorant and unlike any experience I had in all the way up through Collage that it's either just a screwy teacher, tenure keeps even the demented, or entirely a propaganda piece.
These days it's best to assume it's a propaganda piece since it's so counter to personal experience and suspiciously uses trigger words designed to set off Qanon type conservatives.
I'm telling you it's fucking stupid, like an Enquirer piece from the 1970's.
