Spanberger Won’t Condemn School Board Member For Sympathetic Emails To Sex Offender Using Girls’ Bathroom

If you want to see Democrat Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger dance, ask her opinion about allowing men in women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams. She has been tap-dancing around a straight answer for weeks. In a recent debate, when pressed, she said the decision is up to individuals and school districts.

A political gift in the news should have made it much easier for Spanberger to find clarity.  

An Arlington School Board allowed a sex offender to shower and dress in the girls’ pool locker room last year, WJLA TV’s Nick Minock reported on Thursday. As with many public schools, the pool and facilities are open to the public outside school hours. He also revealed that a current Arlington School Board member, when running for her school board position, had an empathetic email exchange with a male sex offender who used girls’ spaces at Arlington schools.

The Federalist asked Spanberger in an email if she supports trans-identifying, male sex offenders showering with young girls? And does she condemn the sympathetic emails between the sex offender and a school board member candidate?

Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears knows her position and is not ashamed to say it out loud: “Girls are girls, and boys are boys.” She will support policies that promote the separation of the sexes in sports and private areas.

‘ThisB***hNeedsToDie’: Another Lib Caught Wishing Death Upon a Conservative in NJ School Board Race

Enough. I’m tired of being told to turn down the rhetoric when we did nothing wrong. Second, the very people making those claims are wishing death upon us behind our backs. It’s nothing new, but just a reminder for everyone to hit the mute button when some self-righteous liberal says that in your presence. 

Your people are shooting ICE facilities and conservative activists. Liberals are children who need a belt to the face, especially this liberal in a local New Jersey school board race who’s been busted sending graphic texts about his conservative opponent. And yes, he’s wished death upon her. He’s since dropped out of the race (via NY Post): 

A New Jersey school board candidate was caught red-handed sending vicious, sexual messages about a conservative female board member in a group chat labeled “ThisB***hNeedsToDie.” 

Photos of Scott Semaya’s vile texts about Danielle Bellomo at a July school board meeting leaked this week on social media — and the widening scandal is now being investigated by local cops and roiling the affluent suburb of Marlboro. 

“Bellomo must be cold — her nips could cut glass right n” read one text, allegedly captured on camera while Semaya’s fingers typed an “o.” 

Outrage was immediate, and Semaya this week dropped out of the race for the Marlboro Board of Education, followed by his running mate Melissa Goldberg. 

[…] 

Semaya, 38, an accountant who has voiced progressive liberal views, was one of five candidates running for three open seats on the Marlboro Board of Education. He cited only “family circumstances” in announcing his exit from the race. He did not return multiple messages seeking comment.

Judge blocks sanctions on boys who objected to female in locker room, rejects district’s Hail Mary

Awealthy suburban D.C. school district belatedly justified its 10-day suspensions of two boys for complaining about a female who identifies as a boy recording them in their locker room, by claiming they had harassed the female student “over weeks and months.”

That wasn’t enough for U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema to reinstate suspensions by Virginia’s Loudoun County Public Schools, which she paused Sept. 16 shortly after the anonymous Christian boys sued.

The President Clinton nominee granted the boys’ preliminary injunction motion at a hearing Friday, shielding the 11th graders throughout litigation from punishment and a disciplinary notation on their record that could sink their college applications. 

One left LCPS after suing but “the threat of discipline remains” if he returns, their lawyers at America First Legal Foundation and Founding Freedoms Law Center wrote in their motion for preliminary injunction. (Brinkema asked last month why he should remain a plaintiff.)

Brinkema didn’t give her reasoning in Friday’s bench order, but AFL lawyer Ian Prior told the media she cited serious constitutional questions, the harm of removing their educational experience and the timing of the “permanent mark on their records.” The judge will issue an order with her reasoning but didn’t give herself a deadline.

“We’re extremely pleased” suspensions are off the table throughout litigation, Prior said. They expect to succeed on all counts – likelihood of success is a factor supporting preliminary injunctions – but need to win only one, he stressed. 

It’s arguing discrimination by religion, because a Muslim student who complained about the female wasn’t punished, and sex, for LCPS telling the boys to find a different place to change but not the female student. LCPS also violated the boys’ constitutionally protected free speech and misused its Title IX probe and findings “as a pretext for viewpoint discrimination.”

Grown Minnesota man who posed as high schooler accused of sexually assaulting students

A 22-year-old man who allegedly used a fake identity to pose as a student at a Minnesota high school has been accused of sexually assaulting his teen classmates, according to authorities.

Multiple parents have alleged that Kelvin Luebke sexually assaulted students while posing as a senior at White Bear Lake High School, according to a search warrant application obtained by KARE11.

White Bear Lake police applied for a search warrant on Monday to look through Leubke’s phone in response to the alarming allegations, the outlet reported.

A school resource officer is also investigating a claim that Leubke received nude photos from a female student, according to the filing.

Multiple juvenile girls have reported to cops that the high school wannabee had been texting and messaging them on social media, authorities added.

Leubke was arrested last month on an unrelated warrant and sprung free from Washington County Jail, Fox9 reported.

A parent had reported that her daughter saw Luebke’s mugshot online and recognized him as a fellow student she knew as “K.P.,” the document said. The parent then alerted the school.

Leubke has not yet been formally charged in connection with the sexual assault allegations.

A Criminal Illegal Alien Superintendent Is The Inevitable Result Of Leftists Controlling Public Schools

So it turns out that the Des Moines superintendent Ian Andre Roberts had an even longer rap sheet than previously known. According to the most recent release of records from DHS, Roberts had been violating immigration and firearm laws for close to three decades.

Understandably, most people will wonder how such a fraud can find himself at the head of a large urban school district in a state as ruby-red as Iowa. As executive editor Joy Pullman has explained, this is simply the result of a leftist regime systematically taking over the American public education system: “[Roberts is] the inevitable product of a system the Left has built for rewarding people for pushing hateful, un-American ideology at public expense and punishing excellence.” Sure enough, it was a school board headed by Michelle Obama’s former chief of staff Jackie Norris in a closed-door meeting that hired Roberts.

There is every reason to believe these people knew that Roberts was a fraud, as Norris’s pathetic plea for “radical empathy” suggests, but hired him anyway. He was just too good to not be true: a smooth-talking black man with a Caribbean accent who boasted an extensive academic and leadership background and had even represented Guyana in the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics.

And, if Vice President Kamala Harris (a DEI-hire herself) had won the presidential election last year instead of Donald Trump, it is almost certain no one would have bothered investigating Roberts now. After all, he became superintendent in spring 2023 during the Biden administration, and he led the district for two whole school years before anything happened to him. Does it really matter that he wasn’t qualified?

Well yes, it does matter, and that’s the real scandal here. Being a superintendent is not some harmless sinecure, but a powerful leadership position. While one might assume that Roberts just smiled for photos, cut ribbons for new playgrounds, and sat in meetings discussing plans to help at-risk kids like he once was, his job allowed him to do far more than this.

As a superintendent, Roberts had the final say in district and campus leadership and how the district’s money would be spent. He decided who became principal, curriculum director, athletic coordinator, chief financial officer, and a slew of other important positions. He also weighed in on vendors for things like school lunches, busing, educational software, school textbooks, and more.

Obviously, this all has a direct impact on district policy. Starting with Roberts himself, all leadership would now be hired based on skin-color, sexual orientation, and most of all politics. Over time, this produced an anti-meritocratic system where academic rigor, student accountability, a talented teaching staff, and fiscal responsibility were jettisoned in favor of the opposite.

ICE Releases Illegal-alien School Superintendent’s Record

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released the full criminal and immigration record of Ian Roberts, the illegal alien who somehow became the school superintendent in Des Moines, Iowa.

It’s a long record. The New York Post called his past a “sordid” one of “sex, lies and DEI payouts.” 

ICE arrested Roberts last week, and he resigned his nearly $300,000-a-year post shortly thereafter.

For its part, the Des Moines public school system is suing the company that was supposed to vet Roberts before he was hired.

Criminal Record

Roberts’ education career ended after ICE arrested the illegal alien from Guyana on September 26. The arrest cost him a $270,000-per-year salary plus generous fringe benefits.

Roberts was arrested with a loaded gun, a hunting knife, and $3,000 in cash, and tried to flee ICE when he was stopped. It turned out that he lied to the school board about his citizenship, and was registered to vote in Maryland. He falsely claimed to have earned a doctorate.

Now, ICE has revealed the details about his lengthy criminal career, aside from the charge of being an illegal alien in possession of a gun.

On July 3, 1996, in New York, he faced “charges for criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of narcotics, criminal possession of a forgery instrument and possession of a forged instrument,” ICE reported.

In November 1998, he faced a charge of unauthorized use of a vehicle in Queens, New York. The charge was later dismissed.

Fourteen years later, in Maryland, he was convicted of speeding, reckless driving, and unsafe operation.

Des Moines school district sues firm behind hiring of illegal alien superintendent

Iowa’s largest public school district is suing the firm that helped it hire an illegal immigrant — Ian Roberts, who is now in Department of Justice custody — for negligence and breach of contract.

One-Fourth Consulting, which operates under its brand JG Consulting, was sued in the Iowa District Court for Polk County last week by the Des Moines Independent Community School District (DMICSD) for its role in hiring Roberts. 

Roberts was hired to be the superintendent of the district in May 2023 at a salary of $270,000.

Last month, Roberts was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He was subsequently charged with possession of illegal weapons after a loaded handgun was found in his car following his arrest.

What Democrats Will Support In Order To Oppose Donald Trump

The list is staggering, really. And one need not go back to January to compile a collection of the most anti-democratic behavior and positions possible, all to save muh democracy. I can fill out this column with stuff just since Friday. 

In June of this year, The United States Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision in Mahmoud V. Taylor, in favor of parents objecting to sexually explicit LGBT material being used in school on religious exemption grounds. The case overturned the decision against both the rights of parents and the 1st Amendment’s freedom to practice religion by a district court judge nominated early in Joe Biden’s term. That judge’s name? Deborah Boardman. 

One might think that a leftist trial court judge getting spanked by the Supreme Court that hard would be the biggest black mark on her record. Wrong. On Friday, Judge Boardman ruled in the sentencing phase of the would-be assassin of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Nicholas Roske. 

Roske, in case you don’t recall, left his home in Simi Valley, California after the Dobbs decision overturned Roe V. Wade and returned the abortion issue where it belonged – to each state’s citizenry to decide. This was too much for Roske, who flew across the country and eventually arrived outside Justice Kavanuagh’s Maryland home with a Glock-17 with ammunition, zip ties, a tactical knife, pepper spray, a hammer, a screwdriver, a nail punch, a crowbar, duct tape, a pistol light, and padded boots for stealth. This was not a spontaneous murder he was plotting. 

Roske was found guilty by a jury of his peers. Federal sentencing guidelines for a crime like this vary between 324-405 months. The Department of Justice asked for 30 years, or 360 months, right in the middle of the sentencing guidelines. Boardman came back with 8 years, or 96 months. Why? Because sometime recently, Nicholas decided he was now trans and wants to be called Sophie. Boardman essentially threw all legal jurisprudence out the window and came up with this for justification.

North Carolina Transgender School Bus Driver Called ‘Ms. Sharon’ Accused of Child Sex Crimes

A transgender school bus driver in Charlotte, North Carolina, is accused of sexually assaulting several 14- and 15-year-old boys.

The suspect was arrested Tuesday and identified as 48-year-old Leetwain Darrell Tate, who goes by the name of “Ms. Sharon,” the New York Post reported Sunday.

Authorities said he is accused of assaulting at least four teenage boys. Tate was charged with two counts of statutory rape and six counts of indecent liberties with a minor.

An image shows the suspect who appears to be dressed like a woman.

The man is accused of luring the boys to his home where they stayed with him. One of the victims claimed the suspect offered him money for sex.

“Tate was employed as a school bus driver for Sugar Creek Charter School in Charlotte. He was initially suspended while the investigation was underway and was officially terminated on September 30, according to WCCB. Authorities emphasized that none of the alleged crimes occurred on school property or during Tate’s bus routes,” according to a KTSA report.

Court records said the man is being held on a $1 million secured bond, WCBD reported. The outlet also said police were called to the area of Peachtree Road and Corvis Road in early September once a parent learned her child had allegedly been sexually assaulted.

California Governor Vetoes Bill Mandating New Health Curriculum for Elementary and Middle Schools

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have directed the State Board of Education to approve new teaching for health classes in elementary and middle schools.

The bill, sponsored by Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner, a Democrat who represents Encinitas, California, sought to compel the State Board of Education to finalize health education resources by mid-2028. These materials were to follow the guidelines set in a 2019 statewide plan for health instruction.

In explaining his choice, Newsom said the bill should be considered only after finishing an ongoing evaluation of health teaching programs across California. This study aims to assess current practices and identify potential improvements before mandating new tools.

According to opponents of the measure, implementing the bill could lead to introducing lessons as early as third grade that teach children that reproductive organs do not always align with an individual’s sense of gender.

“Teaching controversial gender theories to students as young as eight or nine years old is not a practice that most Californians support, nor want to see happening in our schools,” state Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones, a Republican from Santee, wrote in a Sept. 26 letter to the governor, urging him to veto the bill.

Jones, in his letter, wrote that the 2019 health framework “introduces the theory that reproductive anatomy does not necessarily determine a person’s gender.”
