CNN:The origins of Sanders' ideology, in his own words | Hillary Clinton Group [View all]

By Brianna Keilar, CNN Senior Correspondent
Updated 10:11 AM ET, Mon February 29, 2016

In 1969, just a few years before Bernie Sanders first sought public office, he penned a number of columns on a variety of topics: sexuality -- including violent rape fantasies and the sexual development of children -- emotional links to cancer, foreign relations and the failures of traditional education.

He rails against "conservative" education -- what he viewed as an ineffective and soulless learning environment where children must "sit still for 7 hours a day ... and raise their hands when they have to go to the bathroom."

It was a theme he returned to repeatedly that year, denouncing authoritarian teaching styles.

Often "a child has an old bitch of a teacher (and there are many of them) or pehaps (sic) he simply is not interested in school and would rather be doing other thing (sic)," Sanders wrote in his column, "Cancer, Disease and Society," for an alternative publication called The Vermont Freeman.
