Fairfax parents are calling for an immediate investigation into the board member chairing the budget committee, Kyle McDaniel, who according to pleadings filed in Loudoun County, has admitted to embezzling significant sums from his now former employer, $120,000 and $190,000.
It is unconscionable to leave McDaniel in a position of trust over our children's education. FCPS must immediately audit any expenses McDaniel has claimed while serving on the board or in any position with the school system. Grateful to Fairfax resident @lukerosiak for making sure the community was aware of these serious charges.
@fcpsnews This is NOT the kind of example we should be setting for our children, that you can defraud your employer and walk away unscathed. McDaniel must be held accountable.
An open letter to our acting state superintendent in Virginia @GullyoftheSun, on behalf of the most vulnerable students in the state:
Thank you for stepping up to serve the students of the Commonwealth in these confusing and fast-changing times.🧵
There's no proof of major waste, fraud, or abuse in govt spending, say the media. But there is. And now Public has obtained invoices revealing that a major contractor overcharged the Ed. Dept, paid its CEO $2M/year, and promoted debunked research as student performance declined.
@fcpsnews DEI rep Nardos King doesn’t call it CRT. She called it “anti-racism” then that got attention.
Now she calls it SEL
But she brought @DrIbram to our schools.
As the main union of East Coast dockworkers (ILA) goes to strike, billions of dollars of goods will be stranded in major ports like New York-New Jersey & Houston. The ILA, whose boss took home over $900,000 last year from union dues, is now backed by President Biden in the labor dispute even though it may cost the economy up to $5 billion a day.
Biden's decision to back the union bosses means that the supposedly neutral referees in the National Labor Relations Board, a creature of the administrative state, have already picked sides to the detriment of American workers & consumers.
According to the World Bank's 2023 Container Port Performance Index, which measures efficiency, the US does not have a *single* port that is ranked in the top 50 globally. This is no coincidence. While ports from the Netherlands to Australia work to automate to great success, union contracts limit the ability of ports to adopt technology that enhances efficiency.
This isn't new. Back in the 1950s, leaders in the same union opposed containerization - a major innovation that ushered in an era of global trade, reduced the cost to unload a boat from about $6/ton to 16¢/ton, and made dockworkers' jobs safer, too.
Luddism isn't unique to the dockworkers' unions. Recall the Hollywood strikes over streaming technology in 2023 that have left a negative impact on the industry: unemployment in the film and TV industry is now roughly 3x the national average.
Actual technological advances can *enhance* the well-being of American workers or consumers. But union bosses' efforts to coddle workers by limiting innovation leaves the whole country worse off as a result. And the National Labor Relations Board is ultimately responsible for coddling union bosses who send their workers on strike.
The right answer is the same one we need for the rest of the nanny state: SHUT IT DOWN.
Now that the Biden administration has defunded Daszak and EcoHealth, here's a reminder of how @CBS and @ScottPelley reacted when President Trump merely tried to defund Daszak and EcoHealth:
Meet Monica Tranel (D). She’s running for Congress in Montana and says males should be able to play in women’s sports. She also says she would support a law that states men who pretend to be women are biological women.
A criminal conspiracy to defraud the public and policy makers.
A criminal conspiracy that used federal funds to carry out the conspiracy and to reward the conspirators.
A RICO.
