I find it hard to believe that any of her students would ever be candidates for Harvard.

According to Newsweek, “Kazmierczak does not appear to have ever been charged with a violent crime in Minnesota. He has twice been convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol, according to court records reviewed by Newsweek.”

The magazine reported that court filings from his 2017 divorce reveal that he has two children, he was not employed at the time, and he was receiving disability insurance payments.

CNN reported that he has been married and divorced twice, using Minnesota’s official marriage and divorce records as its source. CNN also reported that a Facebook account that seems to belong to Kazmierczak, “has a history of political posts, including criticism of Democrats such as former President Joe Biden and former vice president Kamala Harris. In October 2021, he posted a political cartoon criticizing Omar’s security spending.”

Newsweek further reported that after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, “Kazmierczak changed his profile picture to a photo of Trump speaking at a Turning Point USA event. A couple of weeks later, he changed it to a photo of Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, being comforted by Trump. He previously added badges to his profile pictures to show his support for Ukraine.”

The news site then claims to have found an X account from Kazmierczak, which follows “Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, and Benny Johnson.”

Maybe DU-grade Progs finally got their bad-boy MAGA. HOWEVER, the sources are NewSpeak and CNN, so engage block of salt.

ETA: The guy is, at least, not the brightest bulb in the knife drawer. How exactly did he think things would play out after squirting her?

This is the gutless administratio education schools and state/Federal educrats produced. :ownit:

This is the clue-free entitlement "community organizers" and activists produce. :ownit:

This is the education Carter's NEA-payoff Department of Education produced in almost 50 years. :ownit:

This is the public school inverted paradise into which POrogs would force private- and home-schooled children. :ownit:


What are the odds that a digest of DU-threads and DU-posts about private schools and homeschooling would be >>90% hostile to those means of education?

Sounds like Democrats teaching young Democrats. But good for that teacher calling out the students for cheating.

"Oh! My little sweetums isn't going to get into Harvard* because of you!" Teaching "the entitled."

"Oh! My little sweetums isn't going to get into Harvard* because of you!" Teaching "the entitled."

"Oh! My little sweetums isn't going to get into Harvard* because of you!"

*Insert any college or university here.

I heard this all the time when I had Parent/Teacher conferences because 'little sweetums' had been punished or had not gotten an A+++++++++++++++.

I remember one meeting which was held because I had given 2 students ZEROES for cheating. One was showing the other his answers. It wasn't even close, and they both admitted it. The parents of the 'show-er' didn't think he was cheating. I never heard from the parents of the 'show-ee.'

They refused to believe it was cheating. I refused to debate the semantics of the situation. They could call it 'out of the goodness of his hearting' for all I cared. He got a ZERO. This didn't compute in their universe because ZERO was a temperature or a nickname for a Japanese plane in WWII, but not a grade.

I was told ad nauseum about what cheating was and wasn't. I was also told I would be held responsible for his failure to get into Harvard or Oxford or whatever ultra-elite school that was the flavor of the month. I told them he was in the NINTH grade and that it was the FIRST month of the school year. He had plenty of time to pull the grade up and make an A. He wasn't doomed, and I didn't require ZERO to be written on his forehead in indelible red magic marker like some educational version of Hester Prynne. They wanted to know if she had gotten a ZERO also.(facepalm ran through my mind)

This was the opening of a new play at Hawthorne High School. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was a major character in this offering. I was hounded for weeks about giving the poor, bedraggled little person a retest. His counselor told me that they did that all the time at the middle school he came from. She didn't agree with it, but that's where a lot of it started.

I finally got so fed up with the almost daily conferences with somebody about it that I told the principal it had better stop. I gave her my written resignation and said that I was leaving if I heard one more word about it. I told her that I didn't have another job, but I thought that blowing grass clippings off medians was preferable to this torture. She said to keep teaching and she would take care of it. I thought she should be able to because she was responsible for 99% of it.

I wasn't sure what the parents thought. I wasn't going to send out a form letter to every school about the incident so the child wouldn't be accepted. Nor did I keep a calendar to remind me in 4 years to find out where he was applying so I could haunt the committee that considered possible enrollees.

These types of children were doomed IMHO. The parents refused to let any type of punishment be given because it would spoil the record of their child. I thought it was better to let them suffer the consequences now which were minor rather than bail them out all the time. They wouldn't be able to bail them out of life later on.

When this topic came up as it inevitably did when parents were running interference, I always wanted to tell them to save up because if they weren't using that cash for Harvard later, they might be using it to post a bond somewhere.

(I know people will now jump in to tell me how their child was unfairly treated in some situation. I'm not against a parent coming to the defense of a child when necessary. I'm dealing with kids who are never wrong no matter what.)

     There is and was no need for anyone to be anywhere near law enforcement as they carry out their duties. This isn't a game - a lot more AWFULs and soydudes are going to find that out in a final way. FA, FO.

too bad he never realized that he was considered nothing more than a disposable pawn by the very people who encouraged his behavior. they don't even care that he's dead, only that they got another death to exploit for political purposes. he means nothing more than that to the left

ERO EAD Thomas Homan receives 2015 Presidential Rank Award
https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ero-ead-thomas-homan-receives-2015-presidential-rank-award

Quote
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Executive Associate Director (EAD) of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Thomas D. Homan was one of three Department of Homeland Security (DHS) career executives who received a 2015 Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Service, which is bestowed to leaders who’ve achieved sustained extraordinary results. 

EAD Homan rose in his 31-year career in law enforcement from a police officer in New York, to the head of ERO in 2013. EAD Homan serves as first-in-command of ERO ― the ICE operational directorate charged with investigating, apprehending and removing criminal aliens and immigration violators from the United States, as well as dismantling terrorist and criminal organizations that exploit our borders and lawful immigration system.

EAD Homan’s leadership was tried and proven exemplary during unanticipated and severe challenges in immigration enforcement. EAD Homan directed his work force of nearly 8,000 (approximately 6,000 of whom are law enforcement officers) and managed an operating budget of more than $3 billion during  a time of exceptional ERO growth, unchartered immigration enforcement territory and reduced resources.

A little inconvenient truth. President Barack Obama awarded Thomas Homan in 2015. The same Tom Homan, who was appointed by President Obama.

President Obama deported more than 3 million people.

Alex Pretti was known to the feds and suffered a broken rib in a violent confrontation with agents a week before Border Patrol officers killed him in Minneapolis, according to a report.

Pretti, an ICU nurse, told a pal he saw ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and stopped his car during the earlier incident around a week before he was shot last Saturday, CNN reported.

He said he pulled over in his car and began shouting and blowing on a whistle, at which point he was tackled by five agents, the source said.

Alex Pretti is known to the feds as a troublemaker.
