I guess they’ve never heard of background checks in Des Moines

An illegal who managed to dodge the system for almost five years has finally been caught. He entered the US in 1999 on a student visa and his work permit ran out in 2020 (not sure how a work visa would be in place for twenty years either).

During that time, he was a school teacher, a principal, and finally, after his visa was up, became the superintendent of the Des Moines Public school system in 2023. He had weapons charges in 2020 and a deportation order from 2024.

I am assuming he had to submit paperwork for I-9 employment in 2023 as well as have a new background check. Or maybe Des Moines School HR just took the fact that he was employed by another school district as proof that he was legal and didn’t do the paperwork or background check. And the school district before that did the same thing, ad nauseum.

As an aside, he also had gender discrimination lawsuits from his employment from 2020-2023 (he liked being surrounded by women so some men filed suit).

Point being, at least two school districts dropped the ball and put an illegal with weapons charges in a position of authority over their schools, faculty, and students.

It gets worse (because of course it does). Via Not the Bee, it looks like most of his CV/Resume/Experience on LinkedIn is either lacking information or is false (he has at least three birthdates). I know I’ve had to provide official transcripts from every college I attended when interviewing. You’d think that for a School Superintendent position, this would be especially important.

Interestingly enough, Michelle ‘Big Mike’ Obama’s former chief of staff is the Chair of the Des Moines school board that hired this guy.

And yet there are people screaming about how unfair this is to this man. Who willingly broke several different laws. If anything, this who thing exemplifies the issues with public education.

Incompetence and willingness to break the law.

    It’s really very simple… I will quote the inimitable and hopefully (though the polls are rather dire) next Mayor of New York City, Curtiss Sliwa: “His complexion is his protection”.

    Despicable.

    Reportedly, the district put this guy on PAID leave.

    Which makes me wonder — since now they KNOW he’s illegal –if they can be prosecuted under 8 U.S. Code § 1324.

    What Boneman said. He’s brown so he’s gotta be OK ’cause no brown person would ever falsify their resume or keep stating she’s a black woman when she looks like a white woman with a good summer tan would they Kamalala or hide their birth certificate or their Columbia college transcripts or the editorials they wrote for their Hhhaaahhhvvvaaahhhddd law school newspaper would they Obama?

    It seems strange that anyone could go from being a “student” in 1999 to superintendent of the Des Moines Public school system in 2023.

    Oh, I’m sure they’ve heard of them. Ask Ken the janitor who’s whiter than paste, they probably background checked him all the way to when he was in the womb.

    Iowegians probably don’t see the resemblance, but when I was living and wandering around the Midwest I noticed a number of neighboring state residents said IOWA referred to Idiots Out Wandering Around. Most states have terms of endearments for neighboring states, but the IOWA one seemed to have been more widespread.

      Not to paint with an overly broad brush, but Iowa seems loaded pretty heavily with middle of the road, fence sitting sociopolitical cucks. Even if they aren’t full on leftists, many of the ostensible conservatives there seem to lean heavily into the pro-diversity, immigration, Zionist claptrap.

      As an outsider looking in, it strikes me as an odd place socially and politically. Not nearly as so obnoxious as Minnesota, or Illinois (even if not considering Chicago) but definitely not on the same page as me, and likely to want to favor and pursue policies that I find abhorrent.

    Background checks are ONLY for people you want to keep out, and NOT for people that perfectly meat your needs.
    To be ‘inclusive’ and ‘diverse’ they got three for the price of one: a criminal, an illegal, and a black man, and I would not be surprised if he/she/it/they/them is also transgender pedophile.

    This sack of dog squeeze was hired/appointed by a koterie of kotex Karen’s. An apt description I just coined the other day after (regrettably) seeing the woody allen-esque lesbian mayor kotek (and what is the plural of Kotek? Uh huh) of Portland hold a press conference (along with all her lesbilicous toadies and sycophants in the background) decrying Trump’s decision to send in the NG to start cleaning up the disaster these ruinous bints have created there.

    If one finds a picture of the school board in question (there was one posted somewhere the other day), they are nearly indistinguishable from the Portland den of demented and deleterious dykes, in much same manner the closing lines of Orwell’a Animal Farm described the sudden impossibility of being able to discern which were the farmers, and which were the pigs.

    boneman–Yep. He checks all the lib boxes.

    Bear–I read that. Hopefully the district can now be brought to task.

    Nemo–There’s so many white folks who pretended to be black just to get on the DEI gravytrain.

    Mark–Indeed. And considering that it looks like his CV was falsified as well, it’s a clusterfuck of their own making.

    WDS–If they didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.

    Taffy–I’m leaving the content but removing the link.

    Frank–They sure are proving it, aren’t they?

    BRD–They are odd when it comes to politics.

    Henk–Excellent point.

    BRD–And let’s not forget the Obama connection to that particular school board either.

    I saw a picture of the school board members that hired this guy yesterday on the news. I think it was Newsmax’s 6PM slot with Higbie.

    I am surprised he didn’t need a background check for being around children. Fingerprints, biometrics or phone follow ups are the standard here for even volunteer coaches.

    As for IOWA if you look at a voting map of the state there are only two small blue patches in the sea of red. Des Moines is one of them.

      That may be, but my prior point is that even the red areas are steeped in a weird, bastardized “conservative lite” mindset that espouses positions that are antithetical to true right side politics. Maybe it’s because the farm country and the heavy reliance on “immigrants” (I really hate that term for it’s rampant misuse in this context) or maybe it’s cultural, as with the frustratingly self destructive leftism of Minnesotans. Whatever it is, it’s a style of thinking that is somewhat unique to Iowa.

      I keep thinking back to Mollie Tibbet’s dad making excuses for the presence of the illegal shitbag who murdered his daughter, and not wanting his own daughter’s death avenged. Granted, I don’t know his personal politics (though I can guess at them from what is observable). This sort of social virtue snivelling/race cucking garbage seems to have many adherents in Iowa (even with those calling themselves conservative), which is difficult to explain for what is ostensibly a nearly solidly red state.

      One wouldn’t find nearly the same prevalence of that mindset in say, Missouri, which aside from it’s two big cities (KC and STL) is pretty solidly red and majority rural/farming country in overall land area. What a difference being one state away makes. Meanwhile, Kansas seems a political oddball also, in somewhat the same way as Iowa.

    Nemo–And liberal women at that.

    Gerry–That’s what gets me too. And yes, Iowa is mainly red, but it’s a strange shade of it.

    BRD–Yeah, Kansas and Iowa are red, but it’s not true red.

    from my comment above:

    “no brown person would ever falsify their resume”

    As I surmised, there was a story yesterday reporting that indeed Superintendent Ian Andre Roberts has falsified his entire curriculum vitae including his PhD Ed confirming that the bozo’s on the school board never checked anything in his resume because a nice black man wearing a bow tie would never never lie about such a thing. Gotta wonder how many of the six were fantasizing about a roll in the hay with this guy. Probably ALL of them.

        Me, I wonder just how legitimate her EdD was; did she do the actual work or was it a “Joe’s wife wants a doctorate; make it happen.”
