A Minnesota Department of Education headquarters employee has been forced out after a conservative news site reported on the man’s prior conviction of criminal sexual conduct.
Agency officials confirm that Wilson Tindi's employment ended last week, although the department hasn’t said if he was fired or he resigned. The departure came after Alpha News, a news site that caters to the political right, posed questions to the agency about Tindi's 2016 conviction on fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct charges for which he served time in a county workhouse.
Tindi worked as director of internal audit and advisory services for about two and a half months and was still considered a probationary employee.
The department told MPR News that Tindi “did not interact with students, visit schools, or have access to private student data.”
A working phone number for him was unavailable.
Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, chairs the House Fraud Prevention and Agency Oversight Committee. She sent a letter to the department seeking answers regarding Tindi's hire and policies about vetting prospective hires.
"Even for other individuals who are employees of the department, they know their colleague is a registered sex offender. I think, as a female employee, I would want to know who I'm working with. That would raise concerns,” Robbins said.
Minnesota law requires criminal background checks for certain professions, including school teachers and bus drivers as well as licensed care providers. But for other positions, it isn't mandatory and can be done upon request of the hiring agency.
Is not this person a foreign national?
It sounds like he should get a free ride home.
“””A Kenyan national convicted of sexually assaulting a sleeping woman in Minnesota wasn’t deported after his prison sentence — he was promoted.”””
I believe so, yes.
Minnesota gave us the 1st Moslem member of Congress, Keith Ellison who, along with the Minn Dept of Education advocated for allowing some, just SOME sex offenders to be allowed to work for the public schools. Just sayin’
Hmm. Gatortraz?
He’s also got a “recent” DWI arrest going for him.
Time to send him home. ICE, ICE, Baby.
MN GOP is perhaps finally fighting back.
This hasn’t happened since Reagan.
Yeah. Breaking in to a single woman’s home and assaulting her as she sleeps in her bed is apparently a “4th degree” sex crime in Minnesota.
They don’t spend one second vetting their appointees do they? I’ll bet there are a lot more convicted pervs in the school system.
“””Yeah. Breaking in to a single woman’s home and assaulting her as she sleeps in her bed is apparently a “4th degree” sex crime in Minnesota.”””
In Minneapolistan they will hit you with a 20 dollar fine for that, if anything. ESP
ESPECIALLY if you are unwhite.
Isn’t this the state with the fraudulent Tim Walz as Governor?
How does he hold office, with all the scandals that have been exposed?
RE: Minnesota law requires criminal background checks for certain professions...
Tim Walz: Ha, not for my job. Even that anti-Communist witch hunt stuff about my 30 trips to China since 1989. I skated.
Normally if you are convicted of a sex crime, you are added to a sex offender list but in Tampon Tims’ land you get a job and a merit badge.
He’s gonna get deported now, isn’t he?
He need all assets seized and needs his ass kicked before being sent “home “. The worthless fool is a career criminal.
