Children Allege North Carolina Bus Driver Offered Them $5 to Swab Their Cheeks With Q-tip
A North Carolina news outlet has reported an incident on Tuesday in which children alleged that a middle school bus driver has been offering them $5 to swab their cheeks with a Q-Tip.
The director of communications for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School (CMS) system told The Epoch Times that CMS can’t provide details while the incident is being investigated.
“The driver involved in the incident was suspended pending the results of an ongoing investigation,” the director said. “The alleged incident appears to be an individual acting outside of assigned duties and done without the knowledge of the district or school administrator.”
John Paul with WSOC-TV reported that several parents told him that a CMS bus driver for the Ridge Road Middle School in Charlotte offered their children $5 to swab their cheeks.
Paul said that parent Mone Davis reported to the news outlet that her daughter said, “She gave me the Q-Tip thing and made me swab my mouth, and when I was done, I put it in the cylinder and gave it to her. Then she gave me $5.”
The allegations date back to Feb. 15, Paul said, with one report alleging that the bus driver took samples from 10 kids on the bus as well as personal information.
Paul said one child reported to the parent that the bus driver said it was a COVID-19 test, while another child reported to the parent that there were two other adults on the bus who weren’t identified.
Paul said Ridge Road Middle School sent out a statement to parents in connection with the allegations in which the school principal said he reported the incident “to the appropriate parties for investigation,” but that he could not provide further information because it’s under investigation.
Ridge Road Middle School didn’t immediately respond to The Epoch Times for comment.
“Why would someone take a mouth swab from a kid and their personal information—and maybe more importantly—what could they do with that information,” Paul asked in his report.
Jason Stoogenke, also with WSOC-TV, pointed to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services fraud alert that involves a similar procedure in which someone offers “free cheek swabs” for the purpose of obtaining that person’s personal information “for identify theft or fraudulent billing” in Medicare scams on senior citizens.
However, because this case involves children, it “makes this case even more mysterious,” Stoogenke said.
High School Assistant Principal in Michigan Is Able to Return to Work While Awaiting Trial For First-Degree Child Sex Assault
An assistant principal at Ecorse High School in Michigan could be allowed to return to work after he was arrested and charged earlier this week for criminal sexual conduct charges involving a child.
Melven Conway, 46, was taken into custody at the school Monday morning after the Detroit Police Department had been notified of an alleged sexual assault that happened around eight years ago and involved his then-ten-year-old daughter, but thanks to a judge’s decision to grant low bail and place him on house arrest, Conway is permitted to go back to work while he awaits trial. In other words, he is free to resume his role around children despite his criminal child sex charges.
There were no legal parameters or limitations given to him that would restrict his contact with minors. The decision for him to return to school is entirely on the district.

Teacher Spying Is Instilling Surveillance Culture Into Students
For the teachers, it began in October at the California Teachers Association’s 2021 LGBTQ+ Issues Conference. Lori Caldeira and Kelly Baraki explained how they identified potential new members of UBU, the school’s club of LGBTQ supporters. “When we were doing our virtual learning—we totally stalked what they were doing on Google, when they weren’t doing schoolwork,” Caldeira said. “One of them was Googling ‘Trans Day of Visibility.’ And we’re like, ‘Check.’ We’re going to invite that kid when we get back on campus.”
Whatever you think of LGBTQ issues, the fact that a teacher can remotely track what students do online should give you pause. This was not a case of a teacher reviewing the browser history on a classroom computer after school. As Caldeira said, albeit with her tongue in cheek, they were stalking the kids. (The title of Caldeira and Baraki’s presentation declared that it was about running such clubs “in conservative communities.” Needless to say, conservative teachers can snoop on kids’ online activities too.)
The Buena Vista Middle School in Salinas, California, where Caldeira is employed (and is currently on leave, following the uproar over the story), uses GoGuardian, a standard software tool for monitoring what students do during Zoom classes. GoGuardian, which promotes itself as powering “digital learning environments where every student can thrive,” is being used in about 30,000 schools.

Texas Middle School Teacher Caught on Video: ‘Those Conservative Christian People, They Need to Die. They Need to Get COVID and Die’
A Texas middle school teacher was allegedly caught telling two other women that “conservative Christians” needed to “get COVID and die” because of their political opposition to coronavirus mandates, which she says has “impacted” the “rest of [her] life.”
Radio host Dana Loesch reported that a “Colleyville Middle School teacher identified by school parents as Lisa Grimes” was captured making the remarks and that the video was “provided by a family of the school who asked to not be identified at this time.”
“We have a political system that will not allow us to [inaudible] so we’re vaccinating like the flu, which is, you know, get the flu vaccine if you want, but you can’t — don’t ‘tread on me,’” the woman in the video states.
“But it’s too late. It would have had to have been immediate. If we had done it immediately, it’d already be gone. That’s what’s frustrating. The rest of my life is impacted because of politics? Because of conservative Christian crap? I’m telling you, those conservative Christian people, they need to die. They need to get COVID and die.”
District Identifies Person Responsible For Racist Graffiti Found At McClatchy High
The person responsible for the racist graffiti found at C.K. McClatchy High School last week has been identified, the Sacramento City Unified School District announced Thursday.
Last Friday, someone wrote the words “White” and “Colored” over water fountains at McClatchy High, a reference to the Jim Crow era. The district’s race and equity monitor, Mark T. Harris, told CBS13 a Black female student confessed to the vandalism and cameras caught her in action.
Harris stopped short of calling it a racially motivated act.
“I don’t believe those words that were on those water fountains were racist,” Harris said. “I do not believe they were hate crime or hate speech. Part of it quite honestly is because the admitted perpetrator is a young African American woman.”
During the interview, she said it was a prank. But community activists like Berry Accius from the Voice of the Youth say there should be zero-tolerance.
Parents livid after 8th graders given assignment to use pizza toppings as metaphor for sex
Hey, it’s only indoctrination.
Yet another school system, this time in Connecticut is under fire after a teacher handed out an assignment called “Pizza and Consent,” where apparently eighth grade students were given a class handout which advised that pizza could be used as a “metaphor for sex,” whereby students were to list their favorite and least favorite pizza toppings “in relation to sex,” Fox News reports.
The assignment was distributed to students at the John F. Kennedy Middle School in Enfield, CT late last month, however, reports only surfaced recently.
Examples in the assignment included: “Likes: Cheese = Kissing,” “Dislikes: Olives = Giving Oral,” the assignment read.
“Now that you know this metaphor for sex, let’s explore your preferences! Draw and color your favorite type of pizza. What’s your favorite style of pizza? Your favorite toppings? What are your pizza no-no’s? Now mirror these preferences in relation to sex!” the assignment continued.
The assignment then included a section for “likes” and “dislikes” where students were to “mirror” their preferences for pizza toppings in relation to sex.”
“Obviously, you might not be able to list all your wants, desires, and boundaries, but hopefully you’ll start feeling more comfortable about discussing them,” the instructions read.
“For those of y’all who don’t like pizza or sex at all, feel free to draw out another food or include non-sexual activities,” it read.
California High School Barricades Maskless Children in Gym, Staffer Turns Down Thermostat to “Freeze Them Out”
Oakdale, California – High School students at Oakdale Joint Unified School District began protesting the state’s mask mandate after Governor Newsom was spotted at a 49ers-Rams game without a mask on.
“If they don’t follow by their own rules that they’re trying to force upon me, why should I follow them,” an Oakdale High School student told CBS 13.
Brave high schoolers showed up to school without masks this week and the far-left school staffers used lunch tables to barricade the children in the school’s gym.
The police were called to conduct a welfare check after a school staff member turned down the thermostat to “freeze them out.”
A school officer conducted a welfare check and concluded it was not a police matter so the abuse is not currently under police investigation.
ADL Teaching Schoolchildren Only White People Can Be Racist
The Anti-Defamation League received widespread criticism over the past week after it came out they changed the definition of “racism” so that only white people could be labeled as racist.
It turns out they’re using this same definition in their “No Place For Hate” program and teaching millions of children in over 1,800 K-12 schools across America that only white people can be racist.
