A group of teachers and others in Loudoun County compiled a list of parents suspected of disagreeing with schools' actions — in part to “infiltrate,” to use “hackers” to silence parents’ communications, and to “expose these people publicly.”
Their opponents were those who objected to, sought to debate, or were even simply “neutral” about “critical race theory,” a radical philosophy opposed by many liberals and conservatives but increasingly embraced by governments.
A onetime high school Latin teacher put one man on the list for asking how Dr. Seuss was racist. The group erred on the side of convicting the innocent rather than letting a guilty party go free.
The group of radicalized suburban white women in wealthy Loudoun -- whose schools subject all staff to "equity" training and speak of racism as a dire and pervasive threat -- at times used violent language while doing battle with what they imagined to be "evil."
One listed those who had questioned government officials. “Ian Prior spoke about First Amendment concerns… Austin Levine criticized the School Board."
She then changed her Facebook profile picture to say “I don’t argue with people who Harriet Tubman would have shot.”
FOLLOWUP: Loudoun says teachers attacking parents protected by the First Amendment, on the same month an Equity Committee member seeks to ban Trump clothes as standing for "hate." Denies using Critical Race Theory, attaches "resources" drawing from CRT.
🚨Biden's USAID gave a nearly $1 billion contract to the DEI contractor who recently pleaded guilty to bribing USAID officials -- AFTER it knew of the bribery
The money (for "root causes of migration") was paid to a home-based business that employs the former USAID administrator
USAID OIG long knew of the $544M bribery scandal involving Walter Barnes that DOJ wrapped up this month
On November 9, 2023, the feds barred Barnes and his company from contracting based on "lack of business honesty/integrity”
That same day, it chose him for an $800M contract
The contract was to a "joint venture" between Barnes' PM Consulting Group & CollaborateUp, a home-based business run by a part-time think tank employee that was used to exploit a set-aside for "small business," even though large businesses would actually be doing the work.
Three USAID contractors pleaded guilty to bribing a USAID official to get more than HALF A BILLION dollars in contracts.
The fraud was made possible due to the government's racial "set-aside" laws, where blacks and other minorities can be awarded contracts without competition.
The actual contracts in this case make USAID seem unsalvageable. These contracts were awarded over 10 years and no one suspected bribery because they seemed normal?!
-$6.2M for “lectures”
-$40M for “creation of the PDEX award”
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) said yesterday that there was only $50 million in waste in total at USAID. Today, DOJ laid out $544M in contracts that a) were the result of bribery b) made possible by DEI and c) would have been shockingly wasteful even if not the result of bribes.
Big Beautiful Bill would revolutionize how college is paid for, in ways that will cause universities to lower tuition, discourage worthless majors, and only admit people who are likely to actually succeed in and benefit from college.
It's a huge, historic, common-sense policy:
The bill would force colleges to reimburse taxpayers for missed student loan payments, when programs (i.e. majors) have high dropout rates or low salaries of graduates.
In this example, colleges would have to eat 97% of the losses if it wants to pump out deadbeat CRT majors:
Many colleges ruin people's lives by admitting unqualified students who almost always drop out after going deeply into debt, with no degree to show for it. This is partly because of DEI admissions but also because they're a cash cow. If colleges want to make bad bets, they'll pay
The latest blockbuster higher-ed lawsuit says that George Washington University, which traditionally trains U.S. diplomats, let an anti-Israel activist group called the Middle East Studies Association operate out of its campus, and eventually essentially merge with its faculty.
GWU's Elliot School of International Affairs's Institute for Middle East Studies (IMES) held a non-stop drumbeat of 100% anti-Israel "academic" events after October 7, it said. They called Hamas et al "resistance groups" when the US State Department calls them terrorists.
GWU is 27% Jewish; its academics used their $ to try to convince Jews to betray their own religion, with IMES organizing events such as The Colonizing Self and giving extra credit to watch a movie about young Jews who discover that “the Jewish institutions that raised them lied."
Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade was elected in after a hoax hate crime engendered sympathy. This month, a left-wing radio host was convicted of the crime, and testified that Mobolade was in on the hoax. The FBI said Mobolade misled them about his contact with the culprit.
Mobolade was in contact with Derrick Bernard the day of the hoax, and had a 5-minute call with him 3 days later. Mobolade got a new phone immediately after the hoax, and told the FBI he was "120% sure" he hadn't talked to Bernard, while appearing very "nervous."
Bernard said in that 5-minute call, he expressed concern that the story getting too much attention would backfire, and that Mobolade said he'd "squash" it. Mobolade then began telling the media not to give the story "any oxygen."
A foreign aid agency locked its doors to keep DOGE from accessing records, and was lauded by the Left as David speaking truth to Goliath.
But no one talked to its employees, who said “The hero of the story is actually the villain. They were actually covering up horrible things.”
Its board sued to stop DOGE to stop “access to USADF systems including financial records, payment and human resources systems.”
But the objection might not have been on principled grounds, but rather because those records amounted to a crime scene.
An affidavit from a black employee said its CEO openly refused to hire whites. One white contractor was so abused she went to the bathroom in her pants bc she was scared to leave her desk. When its general counsel flagged lawbreaking, they allegedly framed him for death threats.
