🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter...
...because he was HOMESCHOOLED.
Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up.
His name is Andrew Coates. He's 22 years old, in Nebraska.
Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT.
He is doing the job. For free.
All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love."
So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department.
And in April, the city rejected him. Why?
Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled.
That's it. That's the whole disqualification.
Not his EMT license.
Not his fitness.
Not his record.
Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!!
...how he was educated.
The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school."
That's all it said.
He graduated high school.
He has a diploma.
And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description.
His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him:
"I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him."
Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid.
And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy.
Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors.
And this young man is the proof.
At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch.
When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school.
You will not ask if his diploma was accredited.
You will thank GOD he came.
Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words:
"I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity."
That's a better man than the policy that rejected him.
Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it.
Fix this.
Hire him!!!!!!!
To all of you bitching and moaning about gas prices, here are a few questions for you...
1. Who shut down off shore drilling?
2. Who shut down Alaska drilling?
3. Who shut down the Keystone pipeline?
4. Who stopped new oil and gas leasing on federal lands
5. Who Cut the pace and size of federal drilling leases
6. Who drained our oil reserves?
You hypocritical freaks didn't say a damn thing when Biden did all of that
So at this point just STFU!!
And this is:
The terrorist organization—CNN.
One of the greatest cover-ups in U.S. history:
Jake Tapper’s stage manager, Pablo Parada, caught on hidden camera revealing that Jake Tapper knew the incapacitated vegetable Joe Biden was incapacitated before he was dethroned by his own party right before the 2024 presidential election —and helped cover it up. Now, Tapper is extorting liberals with a book.
“Biden—I met him twice… He was sharper [back then], for sure.”
Do you think his health was really that bad when he was in office?
Pablo Parada: “Yeah, everybody knew. C’mon. Even Tapper, like, wrote a book about it. Like, who knows. I mean, he [Tapper] doesn’t want to reveal that in front of us.”
📝 The SOB should be stripped of his press credentials, officially designated as fake news, and charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States government.
@JamesOKeefeIII is the news.
🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST DREW THE LINE
The White House is NOT attacking the Free Press.
It’s attacking the FAKE NEWS.
The cancer that’s been rotting this country for years, corrupt, coordinated, out of control, and a threat to national security.
And he’s right.
Real journalists tell the truth.
The rest of them lie, smear, and protect the swamp.
This isn’t about “democracy.”
This is about whether America still has a press… or a propaganda machine.
FAKE NEWS must be stopped. NOW!
Thank you, Mr. President.
🚨 WOW! President Trump calls the Fake News a "threat to NATIONAL SECURITY," hits back HARD after CNN/MSNOW/Politico file a 1st Amendment lawsuit because of their White House ban
"The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America."
"It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW!"
Replace them with more honest reporters!
Media outlets should think twice before running anti-American "anonymous source" clear propaganda.
@RepThomasMassie Really, dude? How much blood is on the media's hands?
Stop with your bullshit hypotheticals. You don't have to agree with the president. But you should stop siding with the networks that helped bury and fuck this country over.
“The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America…” - President Donald J. Trump
🚨 NOW: Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) reveals she SPOKE to President Trump after slamming his mass deportations, saying Hispanics feel "betrayed"
"There are good people picking up the Jalapeño peppers!"
"I hopes he listened to what I was saying."
"Please preserve the fortune you brought to the party...we need to continue winning elections."
Trump responded this week to her anti-mass deportations ad, saying he's STRONG on the border compared to Salazar
WE VOTED FOR *MASS* deportations
"Mass" does not mean we pick and choose which laws we enforce...ANY ILLEGAL caught needs to go back. That's exactly why DHS is right now swooping up 3-4 illegals per "criminal" illegal alien targeted
YOU BROKE THE LAW, YOU LEAVE!!
Trump launched his campaign on deporting illegal aliens in 2015.
More than 10 million more came in under Biden alone after that.
Over 56% of all voters, not just Republicans, support deporting *all* illegals.
Mass deportations should he his legacy, not amnesty.
@MaElviraSalazar Traidora Pte Trump te dio la map y gracias a él repetiste. No muerdas la mano a quien te ayudó porque hay un Dios que siempre paga de acuerdo como actúas
