Health officials are on high alert after a case of tuberculosis was reported in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, a small town thrust into the spotlight by President-elect Donald Trump during a rally in September. Trump highlighted a staggering 2,000% increase in Haitian migrants in the town in just a few short years, many of whom were funneled into local factories like cattle. The TB case has heightened fears of a potential outbreak.
The Charleroi Area School District superintendent notified parents on Monday morning about a teen recovering from TB who returned to class without clearance from doctors.
“I am writing to provide an update regarding a recent health matter involving one of our high school students. The student, who attended school today, was diagnosed with tuberculosis a couple of weeks ago. Upon learning that the student had returned without a doctor’s clearance to return to school, we immediately isolated the student and sent them home,” Superintendent Dr. Edward Zelich wrote in the letter.
Zelich continued, “Please know that we are closely monitoring the situation and will continue to work with the appropriate health authorities to ensure our students’ and staff’s safety and well-being.”
A little more than two weeks ago, Zelich called social media posts mentioning “supposed tuberculosis outbreak” fake news: “We are aware of recent social media posts circulating inaccurate information regarding a supposed tuberculosis (TB) outbreak.”
Think tank America 2100’s Nate Hochman pointed out on X, “Charleroi is a small town in Pennsylvania. In the past few years, it’s been flooded with thousands of Haitian immigrants. The school system has seen an 1,800% increase in non-English speaking students. Now, a student just tested positive for tuberculosis.”
“Who would have thought Tuberculosis at Charleroi High School,” one X user said.
In a matter of weeks, the Charleroi Area School District shifted from calling social media posts about a potential TD outbreak as “fake news” to now acknowledging at least one student has caught the highly contagious bacterial disease that usually affects the lungs.
Was there a cover-up?
What a surprise!
TB not TD.
Immigrants spreading diseases that Americans won’t spread.
Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world.
The elites enable illegals, and the average person pays the price.
This is crazy. It was imported and people were not checked before being released.
We don’t even know any illegal’s real name to get accurate records, if we could even trust their “doctor” to provide non-faked information from their country.
Another Biden/Harris success story. Allow millions of illegals into the US with undiagnosed diseases. You can bet they will make sure none of those disease laden illegals settle close to their “humble” homes.
“the student and sent them home”
While the resurgence of a previously eradicated deadly disease might be viewed unfavorably by some, we SHOULD celebrate the enlightened pronoun usage.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list.

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
This is how 90% of native Americans got wiped out — disease from uncontrolled immigration.
Fly a few dozen of those Haitians to Martha’s Vineyard. They’ll be welcomed with open arms!
What other diseases are the illegals bringing in? Can Biden and his cabinet be sued?
Thanks for posting. Health / life BUMP!
Had 2 white spots on the lung, they thought it was cancer- I insisted on a biopsy before agreeing to surgery- thankfully i did- turns out it wasn’t cancer- but they didn’t know what it was- doc said it ‘might be tuberculosis’- I was dumbfounded- it took about 6 months, but they finally faded to nothing- and docs still don’t know that it was-
it’s weird how the left call white folks occupiers, but illegal immigrants who break our laws to get here they call ‘undocumented immigrants’, and it’s a-ok for millions of them to come here, but we Americans are considered to be evil for having moved here and fought to make a life-
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Now it's known as the place for immigrants with TB.
Man do I ever feel sorry for the people of that town.
I sure do hope that 100% of the haitians are sent home.
