Abiding Child Abuse in Schools
The stories of pedophile teachers not being held accountable for their abominable crimes are endless. In an in-depth piece, reporter Matt Drange investigates the issue and what he finds is positively revolting.
A case in North Carolina is typical. In Durham County, a student at Neal Middle School said her chorus teacher, Troy Pickens, had groped her, only disclosing a few years later that he’d raped her. James Key, the school’s principal, didn’t open an investigation until the child’s mother got involved, and even then, according to a subsequent civil suit that settled out of court, the principal “failed to report the groping allegation to law enforcement or child protective services, as required by state law.” Instead, Key allowed Pickens to resign, paving the way for him to remain in the field.
Several months later, Pickens applied for another teaching job in nearby Wake County. He landed the job partly due to a positive review from Key, who, according to the civil suit, never shared any information about his misconduct investigation.
Before long, Pickens sexually abused another student at his new school. “The methodical assaults in a school bathroom, detailed in court records, included digital penetration and forced fellatio. The student only came forward about the abuse two years later, after Pickens was arrested for raping the student back at Neal.”
But just as in Durham County, the Wake County district allowed Pickens to resign.
Similar to Drange’s horror stories, a 2023 report by the Defense of Freedom Institute’s Paul Zimmerman alleges a “systemic failure by federal, state, and local authorities to prevent sexual abuse of students in public schools.” The report, titled “Catching the Trash,” finds that federal, state, and local authorities have not done enough to ensure that students are protected from abuse during the school day.
According to data compiled by DFI, “between 2010 and 2019, the number of complaints filed with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights alleging sexual violence against K–12 schools more than tripled.” The most recent available data, collected in 2017–18, shows 13,799 “incidents of sexual violence” and 685 instances of “rape or attempted rape” across about 95,000 schools—an increase of 43 percent and 74 percent, respectively, from the 2015–16 data.
Scandalously, DFI found that when public school employees are investigated for sexual abuse, many school districts are under no legal obligation to notify parents or even note the investigation in the employee’s personnel file. “This allows administrators to pawn off known abusers to different schools and districts in a phenomenon called ‘passing the trash’”
Additionally, Billie-Jo Grant, a researcher and consultant for SESAME, a group that targets educator sexual abuse, writes that fewer than 5% of school administrators nationwide report sexual misconduct to law enforcement.
Every state has its own litany of ugly child abuse stories.
In a well-publicized case, Los Angeles second-grade teacher Mark Berndt had a track record of perversity dating back to 1983 when he dropped his pants on a class trip to a museum, blaming it on “baggy shorts.” In 1992, several students claimed he was masturbating in class, and another student said he touched her inappropriately in the classroom. In both cases, school administrators ignored the allegations.
Berndt was finally busted in 2012 when it was learned that he had a habit of blindfolding his second graders and feeding them cookies smeared with his semen. Despite 30 years of perversity, the remedy employed by the school district was to bar lessons involving blindfolds and classroom-made butter. The statutes in California, which mandate an arcane 10-step process before a dismissal is finalized, are still in force.
Also in California, 51 Bay Area schools face sexual abuse lawsuits. In the cases reviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle, former students say school leaders ignored or mishandled complaintsthat educators were sexually abusing them. The students claim the district’s inaction allowed teachers to continue harming them and other students. “In at least two cases in which schools did investigate, officials found evidence that an alleged abuser had behaved inappropriately with students but allowed the employee to continue working with children, the suits claim.”
A French teacher in New York City is still in the classroom after being fired by the Department of Education. Dulaina Almonte, 33, lost her job at Harry S. Truman High School in The Bronx in 2020 after the Special Commissioner of Investigation substantiated claims she “sent a 17-year-old female student a staggering 28,075 late-night texts over 14 months—66 messages a day—and traded nearly 1,900 texts with a male 12th-grader.” It is also claimed that she and a former pupil were “involved in a sex act” in a classroom, according to a police report. She now teaches at a public charter school in New York.
Almonte is not exactly reticent about her situation, asserting, “It’s not a crime, but still got fired, which is honestly why the DOE can suck a big pr–k.” She defiantly added, “Still a teacher working elsewhere. Like, you really can’t f–king touch me.”
In Massachusetts, multiple school districts, including Woburn, Wachusett, Masconomet, Quabbin Regional, North Attleboro, and Attleboro, told an investigator that releasing records of school employees with sexual assault findings could “undoubtedly result in personal embarrassment to the perpetrators” as well as victims.
Shockingly, Massachusetts requires schools to collect discipline data on sexual assaults by students—but not by staff.
Collective bargaining agreements negotiated between teachers’ unions and school districts are a key contributor to the problem. They often allow for scrubbing of personnel files. State legislators—many of whom depend on teachers’ union support—are notoriously lax in this area.
It’s worth noting that abuse can happen in private schools, of course, but at least in a private setting, the rules are such that the school can take action without going through the bureaucratic maze that a unionized public school does.
What we really need is a national database for teachers and other education workers who have been convicted of committing sex crimes against children. The U.S. Department of Justice has already established a database for sex offenders. It is imperative that we have a similarly organized collection of information for educators, where school administrators are legally bound to report any and every instance of pedophilia. This would put an end to pedophiles going to another school or state and getting a new job with a clean record. Until this happens, our children will be at the mercy of agenda-driven union bosses, inept and union-bought state legislators, and corrupt and apathetic school administrators whose main interest is not to make any waves by simply passing the trash.

White Journalist Says He Wore ‘Black Man Disguise’ to ‘Document Racism’ in US – Gets Roasted Online
A Canadian author, who admitted he disguised himself as a black man for a book documenting racism in America, received massive backlash from social media users who criticized the idea as ill-conceived.
“Last summer, I disguised myself as a Black man and traveled throughout the United States to document how racism persists in American society,” read an X post on Tuesday by National Post writer Sam Forster. “Writing Seven Shoulders was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done as a journalist.”

Moreover, a description for Forster’s book Seven Shoulders on Amazon reads, “Six decades after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, award-winning journalist Sam Forster performs a daring transformation in order to taxonomies the various types of racism that persist in modern America.”
“Seven Shoulders is the most important book on American race relations that has ever been written,” the description boldly claims.
News of the book sparked outrage and amusement from all corners of social media, with many puzzled as to why he didn’t just interview black Americans.
You could have spoken with Black Americans…

This is wild especially considering some other white dude already did this and there’s no way your book is the most important book ever written on race relations. That’s a comical statement.
Or…OR ask a black person about their own experiences!!! Like holy hell.

It was also pointed out the same experiment had already been done by renowned author John Howard Griffin in the 1960s, in a book titled, “Black Like Me.”
Nothing new under the sun. This was published in 1961.

“Black Like Me” by John Howard Griffin came out in 1961; unclear what you thought would be groundbreaking about this. There’s no crime scene to investigate. Just listen to Black people when they tell you and open your eyes to something outside your own experience.

Biden DOJ Tracked Moms For Liberty for ‘Hate’ Similar to KKK, Secret Emails Show
The Department of Justice deployed its “hate crimes” unit to track conservative group Moms for Liberty in the same manner it tracked the KKK, according to internal emails.
Moms for Liberty, a conservative education policy reform group, was tracked by the DOJ’s Community Relations Service (CRS) alongside symbols like the noose, the Confederate flag, the swastika, and white supremacy, the emails obtained by the Daily Wire show.
The emails reportedly show the only other groups whose movements were similarly tracked were the Ku Klux Klan, a “second KKK-style group”, and the Oath Keepers militia.

The CRS says its role is “preventing and responding to community tensions and hate crimes, bias, bullying, and discrimination.”
The emails show the DOJ pressured local officials to accept their assistance.
For example, DOJ-CRS “Conciliation Specialist” Hannah Levine emailed school board officials in Roanoke county to offer her assistance to ease “community tensions” over LGBTQ policies at its schools.
“CRS is aware of ongoing community tensions in Roanoke County following the release of the new model policies for transgender students,” Levine wrote in an email reported in August. “I’d like to connect to see if we might be able to offer support and services as you work to manage conflict within the community related to this.”
There is no evidence Moms for Liberty or elected officials in Roanoke were committing hate crimes.
The DOJ initially refused to disclose the emails through a FOIA request but relented in the face of a lawsuit by America First Legal.
From The Daily Wire:
The DOJ concealed the records from the public by ignoring a Freedom of Information Act request, but released them pursuant to a lawsuit filed by America First Legal on behalf of The Daily Wire. They show the Community Relations Service, which says its role is “preventing and responding to community tensions and hate crimes, bias, bullying, and discrimination,” tracked targets like Moms for Liberty through Google and LexisNexis alerts.
The DOJ did not return a request for comment on why it was tracking Moms for Liberty. It appears to have used its tracking of Moms for Liberty to identify school boards considering enacting conservative-leaning education policy. It then pressured school boards to defer to the DOJ to resolve the differences of opinion between duly-elected conservative officials and leftist activists, instead of enacting platforms they won elections on.
Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice condemned the revelations and called on the DOJ to answer for its targeting of her organization, which it has not done as of this writing.
“We reject the notion that advocating for parental rights and the well-being of children is an act of hate and we call on the Department of Justice to clarify its position on this matter,” Justice told The Daily Wire.
“The actions of the federal government should never infringe upon the rights of parents to engage in the democratic process,” she added.

Trump Mocks Biden’s PA Rally with Tiny Crowd in Empty Gymnasium
Former President Donald Trump ridiculed Joe Biden’s campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Wednesday as pictures emerged showing predictably scant attendance.
Biden held a campaign rally at the Girard College, a majority black prep school in Philadelphia, to launch a “nationwide effort to mobilize Black voters.”
“Our campaign believes that Black voters deserve to hear from Team Biden-Harris, and they deserve to have their vote earned, not assumed,” the campaign said ahead of the event.
“No campaign has valued Black voters like we have, including through investing earlier and with more money than ever before talking to Black voters.”
But photos from the event showed a pitiful reception that’s become a signature of Biden’s anemic campaign.

And that’s despite Biden pulling all the stops including bringing on Sesame Street’s Elmo and a marching band to the campaign event.

Trump has been gaining ground among black and Hispanic voters while campaigning in traditionally blue areas like the Bronx and New Jersey in recent weeks.
In fact, national polling averages reveal support among black voters has collapsed for Biden while at the same time shifting big in favor of Trump.
The shift has been so dramatic that CNN warned that Trump is poised to clinch the 2024 election with 291 Electoral College votes if his surge in support among black voters alone remains steady heading into November.
