Democrats are protesting Des Moines Superintendent Ian Roberts’ arrest by ICE because he indicts the entire public school system they control.
State officials revoked the license of the superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district Monday after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Ian Roberts Friday on a deportation order and weapons charges. On Saturday, the Des Moines school board placed Roberts on paid administrative leave while protesters demand his release.
ICE says Roberts is not only an illegal alien from Guyana who was working illegally, but also that he fled arrest in a school district-owned car and was in illegal possession of a loaded gun and hunting knife when agents finally nabbed him. The school board voted in secret to select Roberts as the “first person of color” to assume the Des Moines superintendency in 2023. The noncitizen also holds a Maryland Democrat voting registration.
In 2022, Roberts explained away previous illegal weapon possession charges by alleging the charges were racially motivated: “I may not appear to be the ‘type of man’ who would enjoy deer season in Pennsylvania, in fact, I am and have been hunting for more than 20 years,” he wrote of the incident, according to CNN.
That’s also essentially how he obtained a “doctorate in education leadership,” with a “dissertation” that involved interviewing 15 non-white people about “culturally responsive inclusion” through an online questionnaire.
If the feds’ facts are accurate, Roberts is a highly successful career con man. Public documents show he made many outrageous and contradictory claims about his history that should have prompted due diligence from numerous U.S. education employers, including that he worked on a security detail....

Yet another entire school board composed of middle aged women. They are the most destructive force in society. In general, they have no place in government. America is better before they could start attending law school or holding office on a regular basis.
Affluent
White
Female
Urban
Liberals
Or AWFUL!
The 19th Amendment should be repealed.
It was a horrible mistake.
L
Wow, that paper was published TWENTY SIX YEARS ago!
I was born and raised in Iowa. This whole circumstance is so disgusting.
The practiced con artist Roberts obtained a “doctorate in education leadership,” with a
.......lol........“dissertation” that involved interviewing 15 non-whites about
“culturally responsive inclusion” using an online questionnaire.
The feds’ facts are entirely accurate and tell the story
of a calculating con man, a highly successful career con artist.
Public documents show he made many outrageous and contradictory claims about his history, even his date of birth was falsified that should have prompted due diligence from numerous U.S. education employers.
He invented unbelievable stories about himself that he was in the Guyana military and “worked” a security detail when Queen Eliabeth visited dirt poor Guyana.
And yet all the libs on that school board selection committee SO wanted to believe all of his fairy tale stories they did zero background investigation. It indicts that hiring committee as much as it does the charlatan himself. It is a perfectly emblematic of all that is wrong with the education establishment.
Were test scores improving?
Libs on the school board selection committee SO wanted to believe Roberts’ concocted his fairy tales.
And he knew this and fashioned his fairy tales around liberal’s innate stupidity.
The sap-happy female school board did zero background investigation.
His hiring indicts that school board committee as much as it does the charlatan himself.
It is perfectly emblematic of all that is wrong with the education establishment.
Great deconstruction.

You won’t hear Democrat Norris admit she was conned by Ian Roberts
b/c to do so collapses a Democrat’s carefully polished “feelings of tolerance and compassion.”
Admitting you were conned involves intense feelings of
sheer stupidity, shame, embarrassment, and a damaged ego.
Con artists like Roberts are “masters of manipulation.”
They exploit human psychology, so admitting you were deceived
by the conman’s “invented reality” can be a deeply painful experience.

He’s just doing the job Americans don’t do.

Liberal leftists live such a delusional life that I do not think they are capable of being ashamed or embarrassed.
Jackie Norris is so deluded by Democrat liberalism, she’s working her *** off
thinking she can parley the Roberts debacle into votes to get into the Senate.

Oh, right....I almost forgot....liberals are loaded w/ “tolerance and compassion.”
Is chatting up children part of a super's job description?
Did school authorities think it was odd that their super was always in the schoolyard
chatting up young kids......not in his office doing administrative work?
Roberts hid so much of his bgrnd.....but one thing is clear.....he enjoyed being around children.
Are there any connections to pedophilia or child porn in his sordid history?
Did any of the children ever spend time w/ him....... alone?
