In the affluent suburb of New Jersey, Highland Park High School is making waves with the introduction of a new club dedicated to young socialists. The club’s creation has been highlighted through a promotional flyer, which was recently shared by Fox News Digital.

According to the flyer, the Highland Park High School Socialist Club convened for its inaugural meeting during lunchtime on Thursday. This gathering marks a significant moment for students eager to explore anti-capitalist ideas under the guidance of Mr. Girvan, the club’s advisor.

Inviting students to join the cause, the flyer features a striking call to action: “WE WANT YOU.” This slogan accompanies an image of Karl Marx, the renowned communist thinker, pointing directly at viewers. This imagery cleverly mimics the iconic “I WANT YOU” World War I Army recruiting poster featuring “Uncle Sam.”

The flyer further entices students by promising to “learn ways to solve social problems that don’t involve exploiting the working class,” offering an alternative perspective on societal issues.

Captured in December 2025, the flyer hangs prominently on the walls of Highland Park High School, serving as a visual reminder of the club’s mission and the students’ growing interest in exploring socialist ideologies.

Further promotional slogans include, “Learn what socialism is — not just what they tell you,” “Learn media and literacy skills along the way,” and “To help us build a better world!”

“Workers of the world unite!” the bottom of the flyer says, employing one of the most common socialist phrases.

Highland Park is located southwest of New York City, and the median household income is more than $100,000, according to Census Reporter, which is well higher than the national average of $83,730.

A March 2025 survey by the Cato Institute showed that young people increasingly favor socialism.

While minors weren’t surveyed, Cato found that 62% of 18-to-29-year-olds view socialism favorably. Meanwhile, 14% of respondents said they favored full-fledged communism. The sample size of the poll was 2,000 people.

Last month, avowed socialist Zohran Mamdani was elected to be the next mayor of New York City. The Associated Press reported that three quarters of New Yorkers under the age of 30 who voted in November voted for the 34-year-old soon-to-be mayor.

In response to several questions, Fox News Digital received a brief reply from Highland Park School District Superintendent Kristina Susca.

“All high school clubs are subject to the Equal Access Act requiring that school districts permit extracurricular clubs, regardless of their political content,” she said.
