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....

This also indicts the State of Pennsylvania.
Thanks to a child molesting football coach, PA is the only state that requires a separate background check to work in any capacity near children. I guess it would be ok if the system worked but it’s costly did ponderous.
And apparently ineffective if it allows an illegal to become a school superintendent.
Why do the good citizens waste their time and comply?
The entire school board should be fired or otherwise removed from office for egregious failure to preform due diligence.
They probably paid a search committee thousands of dollars to come up with a illegal criminal for the position. Need to ask for a refund.
liberal white women mostly, no doubt.
My grandmother told me when I was 16 that letting women vote was going to be the end of the country someday. I said what about you and she told me she had never voted.
I thought she was crazy at the time, but I see she was a prophet.
I forgot where I heard the term to describe modern democrats that hate America and Americans. But the term is “Alienists” as opposed to nativists. They believe just because the alien is different they must be good because native born Americans are inherently evil and racist. Any crimes and chaos from the alien is obviously the fault of the native. Plus it makes those liberal whites feel oh so good about how not racist they are.
