Trump Admin Investigates Chicago Public Schools For Racial Discrimination

The U.S. Department of Education has launched an investigation into Chicago Public Schools (CPS) for alleged racial discrimination in its “Black Student Success Plan,” which reportedly only focuses on the academic achievement of black students.

The Title VI investigation comes after education advocacy organization Defending Education filed a complaint with the department’s Office for Civil Rights in February. The Education Department’s press release states that the “Black Student Success Plan” deals with “remedial measures only for black students, despite acknowledging that Chicago students of all races struggle academically.”

“Chicago Public Schools have a record of academic failure, leaving students from all backgrounds and races struggling and ill-prepared to meet the challenges and enjoy the rewards of contemporary American life,” Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for civil rights, said. “Rather than address its record honestly, CPS seeks to allocate additional resources to favored students on the basis of race. The Trump-McMahon Department of Education will not allow federal funds, provided for the benefit of all students, to be used in this pernicious and unlawful manner.”

“To CPS, I say this: Every American student deserves access to a quality education, and the Trump Administration will fight tirelessly to uphold that ideal and ensure all students are treated equally under law,” he added.

Also in February, the department sent a notice to state education officials that they will no longer be allowed to have programs that exclude people based on race or make race-based hiring decisions, as had become the norm for diversity, equity, and inclusion-crazed school districts. Some states, schools, and left-wing interest groups have attempted to fight the directive.

Chicago is no different, and its Democrat mayor, Brandon Johnson, threatened to sue the Trump administration if it cut its $1.3 billion (about 16 percent of CPS’s annual budget) in federal funding due to the city’s DEI obsession.

The state got involved as well, with the Illinois State Board of Education sending a letter to the Education Department claiming it was in compliance with Title VI and that it really has no idea what the Trump administration means by DEI — the common refrain from left-wing protectors of the ideology, despite the fact that what is meant by “DEI” is well documented.

The state board also has an entire page dedicated to its commitment to the ideology, and CPS has an “Office of Equity” complete with a DEI resource guide.

Unity Message Backfires: Racist AOC Tweet Turns Heads

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) campaign account on X is facing significant backlash over a social media post that capitalized “Black” and “Latino” while leaving “white” in lowercase.

The post has since sparked accusations of hypocrisy and divisiveness.

The controversial post appeared on the “@TeamAOC” account, which is managed by the New York Democratic congresswoman and her staff members, drawing immediate criticism from users across the platform.

The message accompanied a video from Ocasio-Cortez’s recent “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, where she has been appearing alongside Bernie Sanders at anti-Trump rallies in traditionally conservative states across the country.

“Do not let them trick you into thinking we are enemies,” stated the post featuring footage from a Boise, Idaho event. 

“Do not let them trick you into thinking that we can be separated into rural and urban, Black and white and Latino. We are one.”

Social media users quickly pointed out the apparent contradiction between the unity message and the selective capitalization choices in the text, with many suggesting the typographical choice undermined the very message of togetherness.

One X user’s reply, which garnered more likes than the original post, questioned: “If we are one, why did you capitalize ‘Black’ and not ‘white’?” 

This sentiment was echoed by numerous commenters who saw the capitalization disparity as problematic.

Another popular response accused the campaign of deliberate racism, stating: “We see you, you f***ing racist POS. Don’t act like it was an accident that you left the word ‘White’ uncapitalized,” reflecting the intensity of reactions to what some viewed as a calculated slight.

“The masters of the universe are Jews,” former US Senator declares in Israel

Ex-GOP Senator and Republican Jewish Coalition chair Norm Coleman proclaimed with a straight face that Jews control the world during a Jerusalem conference featuring a speech by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Former US Senator Norm Coleman has raised eyebrows by declaring that “the masters of the universe are Jews” at a major Zionist lobby event in Jerusalem. In an address to a summit hosted by the Adelson-funded Jewish News Syndicate on April 27, Coleman pointed to various major technology firms founded by Jews, suggesting the shared religion of the companies’ creators should translate into a greater zeal for censoring criticism of Israel.

“And when you think about it, the Masters of the Universe are Jews! We’ve got Altman at OpenAI, we’ve got [Facebook founder Mark] Zuckerberg, we’ve got [Google founder] Sergey Brin, we’ve got a group across the board. Jan Koum, y’know, founded WhatsApp. It’s us.”

The remarks came as Coleman lamented that pro-Israel propagandists are “losing the digital war” in battle for the hearts and minds of younger generations, and called for more stringent censorship of pro-Palestinian speech.

“A majority or Gen Z have an unfavorable impression of Israel. And, my friends, I think the reason for that is that we’re losing the digital war. They’re getting their information from TikTok, and… and we’re losing that war.”

As numerous polls show young Americans are increasingly skeptical of Israel – with a recent survey showing 71% of Democrats and 50% of Republicans under age 49 now hold an unfavorable view of Israel – establishment politicians have consistently blamed TikTok’s algorithm for the decline in enthusiasm for genocide. In February, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, Mark Warner, revealed that the bill forcing China’s ByteDance to sell TikTok was motivated by the visibility of pro-Palestine content on the app.

For Coleman, though, it appears this wasn’t enough. “We have to figure out a way to win the digital battle,” he told summit attendees. “We’ve got to get our digital sneakers on, so that the truth can prevail over the lies. And when we do that, the future of Israel will be stronger because a majority of all Americans will support Israel. We’ll make that happen, we have to make it happen. Thank you, Baruch hashem.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the stage directly after Coleman’s speech, highlighting Tel Aviv’s interest in the event, which was billed as the “Inaugural JNS Policy Summit to address Israel’s pressing strategic issues.”

Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty, backed by Soros, is demanding race be considered in plea deals and sentence reductions.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty has sparked a firestorm of criticism after implementing a new policy requiring prosecutors to consider the race of defendants when offering plea deals.

This measure, set to take effect on Monday, has been labeled by experts and citizens alike as potentially unconstitutional and a clear example of out-of-control liberal activism.

Moriarty instructed prosecutors to evaluate the defendants’ «racial identity» and age as part of a «holistic» analysis when proposing resolutions.

The policy aims to “address racial disparities” in the judicial system, but it has raised concerns even among prosecutors themselves, who fear this directive may violate laws that prohibit the use of race in sentencing decisions.

University of Minnesota constitutional law professor Jill Hasday and former prosecutor Imran Ali, interviewed by Kare11 News , have questioned the legality of the measure.

Ali pointed out that current sentencing rules explicitly forbid taking race into account in these processes, which could lead to discrimination lawsuits.

Top Corporations Fund Former Obama Official Calling To ‘Wage War on Whiteness’

Procter & Gamble and other prominent corporations fund a “racial justice” group whose leader, a former Obama White House official, lashed out this week at what he called “white mediocrity” and urged a “woke” army of black youth “to wage war with whiteness.”

David Johns, who led President Barack Obama’s White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, made the remarks at an event Tuesday to promote a boycott against Target for rolling back its DEI programs.

Johns is the executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, a black LGBT group that aims to fight “anti-Blackness.” The nonprofit lists companies like Airbnb, Sephora, Sony, and Procter & Gamble as sponsors. Procter & Gamble, which sells household brands like Gillette and Charmin, contributed $515,000 to the National Black Justice Coalition in 2023, around one-fourth of the nonprofit’s budget, according to tax records. The Department of Health and Human Services under President Biden awarded the National Black Justice Coalition a $1.2 million contract through 2026 as part of the government’s “Let’s Stop HIV Together” campaign. It is unclear if HHS is still funding the coalition, but Johns said last month his organization was “proud to be a grantee” of the HIV program.

Speaking at the anti-Target event, Johns endorsed the boycott and railed against President Donald Trump as a “fascist trying to rob us of our wealth.” He also urged black consumers to shop at black-owned businesses as part of a movement to “reclaim … African ways of being.”

“We don’t need nothing from white people. We don’t need nothing from white people,” said Johns. “They can’t even make potato salad.”

“We have everything we need to ensure that our babies are woke, that they are critical thinkers, that they are equipped to do the kind of work to wage war with whiteness,” said Johns, adding that “we don’t need to be lulled by the trappings of white mediocrity.”

Washington State’s racist policies and infanticide dreams

Washington State is a geographically blessed place. It’s got two gorgeous mountain ranges that invite outdoor activities, a rare and beautiful rainforest, a gorgeous coastline with a great harbor around Seattle, and a climate and soil that are perfect for all kinds of agriculture. It’s also gone completely insane, for it’s now engaged in the highly unconstitutional act of giving financial benefits based openly on race and is on the verge of making infanticide legal.

Washington has been a Democrat redoubt for a long time. Its last Republican governor left office in January 1985, the State House of Representatives hasn’t had a Republican majority in the 21st century, while the State Senate last managed a fragile Republican majority in the 2017-2018 session. As with most Democrat-controlled states, on an acre-by-acre basis, it’s mostly a red state, but the demographic heft (and, perhaps, election fraud) in the coastal, urban regions is enough to control the state’s politics.

And as we’ve learned, when you have a Democrat-majority state government, you get laws that are unconstitutional, illegal, and immoral.

In the unconstitutional and illegal category, Washington has just passed a law that provides forgivable loans (i.e., no-strings cash) of up to $120,000 for first-time homebuyers.

Oh, wait, I misspoke. The law doesn’t apply to all first-time homebuyers; it applies only to blacks and, perhaps, can be stretched to accommodate other racial minorities.

MSNBC Suggests Trump Plans to Deport African-Americans

The latest racial-tinged conspiracy theory that the TDS-addled corporate state media is running with is that the Trump administration is developing plans to deport African-Americans, otherwise known as “people of color.”

Let the brutal ogre and former Kamala Harris press ops goon who has rebranded herself as a journalist, Symone Sanders, explain:

We’ve been talking about this all week, but Janai Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, she penned an op-ed in The Nation this week. And her op-ed talked about that we think democracies are — the way they die is dramatically, through these wars, and blood is shed, and it’s cinematic in a sense. But really, the realistic way in which democracies die, is it is dismantled brick by brick, piece by piece. And she says that what we are seeing now with the lawlessness from this administration are really the canaries in the coal mine gasping for air. I’m paraphrasing here. But to me, that is why Kilmar Abrego-Garcia’s specific case, the case of the gentleman who’s a make-up artist out of California who was also sent to that prison, that’s what the more — the 75% of the folks who have been sent, the men who have been sent there that don’t have criminal records — that is why this is so important. If they can do it to them, if they can snatch students off the street without any pushback or recourse, they will do it to any of us. To be very clear, it’s going to be the people of color, and vulnerable communities that are next in line.

School’s HR chief: ‘We’re going with the black person … no matter what’

The O’Keefe Media Group released undercover video of Jonathan Ferrer, the HR Director for Summit Public Schools, a charter network operating in California and Washington, admitting to race-based hiring.

Ferrer admitted to violating Title VII, California FEHA (prohibits discrimination) and school policy.

“You get presented with, on equal merits, like a white person or a black person or whatever. Yeah, we’re going with the black person,” Ferrer told the undercover OMG reporter.

“Whenever there’s a qualified candidate and they happen to identify differently or present differently, we’re probably going with that person… That’s what DEI is all about,” Ferrer told the undercover journalist.

“We have one trans teacher in our district, and, so, I think it’s just culturally, we just naturally look for those folks,” he said.

When asked if Summit Public Schools would ever hire a Trump supporter, Ferrer said, “I don’t think we would hire them.”

“We do have DEI questions built into our selection process,” Ferrer said. “We have a rubric… if they say any of these things, this is not someone who’s answering the question the way we’re aligned to answer the question.”

Points For Honesty: UK Tech Firm Says “Only Immigrants From India Will Be Considered” In DevOps Want Ad

UK tech firm Avantao Technologies has apologized after posting a job ad stating “only candidates who are immigrants from India will be considered”, according to the Daily Mail.

The listing, for a DevOps engineer role in Ilford, also asked visa-related questions like “What is your native country?” and “Are you seeking sponsorship for employment in the UK?”

The Daily Mail report says that the company claims the ad was a staff training “test” that was mistakenly published. Sure.

“Unfortunately, that has been published, and we are unable to retract it because it was a mistake made by the employee who posted it live and then departed on holiday,” a spokesperson told MailOnline.

“We are very sorry to hear that this has occurred… a mistake is a mistake, and we have taken action against the individual… we genuinely apologise.”
