PRINCIPAL FORCED TO RESIGN AFTER HELPING A HOMELESS STUDENT
Rob Burnside, the former principal of Lakota East High (@EAST_HAWKS) in Ohio, was REMOVED from his position after he housed a 16-year-old homeless student so he could keep attending school.
The teen’s home life was unstable, and he was forced to sleep in a car. His dad’s trailer didn’t have heat, and his mom moved outside the district.
When Rob found out, he took the boy into his home so he could continue attending school.
When the school found out, they threatened Rob with termination.
The student offered to leave the school and his home to protect Rob's job, but Rob REFUSED.
Rob decided NOT to cave to the school's threats, and sacrificed his career to continue supporting Hayes.
Rob and his wife are now Hayes' legal guardians.
Rob and his wife have 6 other children, including 2 adopted ones.
The boy has since graduated and is now working toward becoming an aviation mechanic.

“Chris Hipkins needs to find billions more every year to fund the bigger government he is promising. If you’re wondering where the money will come from, listen to his would-be coalition partners,” says ACT Deputy Leader Nicole McKee.
“Opportunity leader Qiulae Wong has told the HomeRun property podcast that her party is open to abandoning its land value tax in favour of Labour’s capital gains tax – but only after negotiating with Labour.
“She said: ‘We think a land tax is the better solution, but if the general public wants to go capital gains tax – that is supporting Labour’s – we’ll negotiate with them on that.’
“The word ‘negotiate’ is doing the work there.
“Labour’s current CGT is deliberately narrow. Opportunity’s tax agenda is far broader.
“And Wong has already made clear what she thinks of Labour’s version. She has previously called Labour’s CGT ‘tinkering’ and ‘pretty minuscule’.
“So nobody should seriously believe Opportunity would enter coalition negotiations, give up its flagship land tax, and ask for nothing in return.
“Hipkins claims Labour will introduce only a capital gains tax and no other taxes. But that leaves plenty of wriggle room if Opportunity – or the Greens and Te Pāti Māori – demand a much more aggressive CGT as the price of putting him into the Beehive.
"Once Hipkins has accepted the principle of a capital gains tax, coalition negotiations can change its scope, rate, exemptions and design while he continues to claim he has introduced ‘only a capital gains tax’.
“Labour's current CGT doesn't cover the family home, or farms, but we know Opportunity wants to tax these properties.
“The point at which the tax is collected could also be up for discussion. Taxing on-paper gains at regular periods would bring Labour's CGT closer to Opportunity's vision.
“And Hipkins would have every reason to roll over. In fact, his spending plans mean he may need to.
“Labour now says it wants core Crown spending at around 33 per cent of GDP. This means spending an extra $10 billion or more every year. That money has to come from somewhere.
“Voting Labour is a package deal. Labour comes with the Greens, Te Pāti Māori, Opportunity, or some combination of the three – and each of these parties is champing at the bit to tax more of what New Zealanders have worked, saved and sacrificed to build for themselves and their families.
“A Party Vote for ACT isn’t just a vote to lock Labour out. It’s a vote to lock out their tax-hungry coalition partners too."
@chrishipkins But can you do it without borrowing more money? Because the problem is the amount of debt in our system. We can't keep kicking the can down the road for future generations to pay. At some point we have to take the medicine required. And that is going to hurt.
@krystalball Opposing fascism? They're the ones using guns to counter words. Antifa has killed more people since 2016 than any other groups in the US. #provemewrong
Gavin Newsom, the fact you're spreading such lies that there won't be an election in 2028 is the very sort of lies that are causing the division in the country. I get you're a partisan, but outright lies like that are exactly the problem.
@krystalball And yet his actions, his social media profiles, and his voting habits say otherwise.
Krystal, just stop. Can we just stop trying to other these people and accept things are so bad. You're losing credibility by feeding the partisan narrative so obviously.
Oh, and while I’m at it, why is this shocking story that dropped yesterday not getting the same attention as Kimmel’s 48-hour suspension? It’s far more egregious but the U.S. mainstream media doesn’t seem to care. Why?
(Obviously, I know why… )
As of this afternoon, in the past 6 days, TPUSA has received 54,000+ requests from high school and college students nationwide to start a chapter or get involved with an existing chapter.
This is just the beginning. @tpusastudents
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
Once again, a bullet has silenced the most eloquent truth teller of an era. My dear friend Charlie Kirk was our country's relentless and courageous crusader for free speech. We pray for Erika and the children. Charlie is already in paradise with the angels. We ask his prayers for our country.
