Minnesota government says 'Quality Learing Center' at center of Somali fraud exposé is closed as it's all of a sudden full of kids

The now-infamous "Quality Learing Center" which was made famous after an expose from independent reporter Nick Shirley is now reportedly shut down—however on Monday it was overrun with children.

According to the New York Post, the scene at the daycare center was bustling with children on Monday a few days after Shirley's expose on alleged fraud taking place in Minnesota within the Somali community. At the time of Shirley's report, there were no children in sight at the facility which had a now-infamous typo in the word "Learning" on its sign.

At the same time, the Minnnesota Star Tribune has reported that the center was shut down last week. The flagship newspaper has also come under scrutiny in the wake of the report from Shirley, with many claiming online that the YouTuber has been reporting on what the paper should have been doing all along.

Citing the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families, Tikki Brown, the Minnesota paper reported the "Quality Learing Center" was shut down last week.

However, the New York Post spoke to the son of the owner of the day care center on Monday, who claimed that Shirley's visit took place before they opened the day Shirley visited. Ibrahim Ali argued to the Post, “Do you go to a coffee shop at 11 p.m. and say, ‘Hey, they’re not working?’" Despite the reports of the center shutting down, Ali appeared to insist that the center was open for business.

Ali also blamed the misspelling of the now-infamous sign on a graphic designer. “What I understand is [the owners] dealt with a graphic designer. He did it incorrectly. I guess they didn’t think it was a big issue,” Ali claimed as he also said that he helps out with the facility's paperwork.

A resident who spoke to the Post said that the center is usually a ghost town, and that they have never seen children go in the center until today. “We’ve never seen kids go in there until today. That parking lot is empty all the time, and I was under the impression that place is permanently closed,” the resident said.

Both of the conflicting reports about the center being "open" or "closed" were published on Monday, but the Post had a first-hand reporter at the scene.

“What I understand is [the owners] dealt with a graphic designer. He did it incorrectly.”

Shows how stupid the thieving Somalis are........
they are the ones who hung the sign for all to see
seemingly oblivious to the misspelling.

But dont fret, people.....they dont use “big words”
like learning in slum-dumb Somali.

Seems like a lame attempt to cover up the theft. I would think it would be easy to prove business records were fabricated. Utility usage would also prove fraud. I would also assume food delivery and garbage collection would also solidify the fraud..

I have had signs made by sign companies. Never had a misspelling but if there was I wouldn’t have accepted it and the sign company would have fixed it. These stupid somalians didn’t KNOW it was misspelled.

The scandal is covered with 💩’s fingerprints.

It’s not just Minnesota. It’s EVERYWHERE there’s a Somali population.

Washington State has 539 Somali child-care centers, many who did not even supply a physical address. You have to assume the bureaucrats knew something was fishy, but were told to shut up or be fired for racism.

You have to also assume there was an organization doing the paperwork for them.

“BREAKING: Following the exposure of millions in fraud at Somali-run care centers in Minnesota, similar concerns are now surfacing in Washington state, where 539 of about 5,000 licensed care centers are Somali-run, many lacking a physical address.“

Make them show the roster and see if it matches with the ‘rent a kids’ that showed up.

Check to see if there is adequate first aid, diapers, and safety equipment. Who did the yearly safety/fire inspections?

Look at the WH portraits and the ‘library’ that BO had done by specifically minority artists/architects and construction workers. Cartoon portrait, rebar sticking out, Death Star design -

The more of these articles I see here on FR, the more frustrating it is to realize that there’s nothing specific that I can say or do about it here or anywhere else at the moment, to make one bit of difference in how and when it will all play out. However, there is some consolation in knowing how many other FReepers are outraged by this deeply embedded villainy going on all around us; but I refuse to allow myself to be caught up in any frantic frenzies of furious futility.

Is there photographic evidence of this somewhere? Not saying I don’t believe you...I’ve just never heard about this.

Theft is a way of life in some cultures. Some of us are too naive to believe it.

Looks like the parents of the instant kids would now be part of the fraud. If an FBI agent can’t muster up some parent to confess to fraud, then they need to be fired and the FBI needs to hire the journalist that uncovered the fraud.

We need to shut Minnesota down. And Michigan. Illinois. California. Orygone. Wash. CO. For starters.
