Patriot,

Since 2023, the Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa has had a
superintendent who was in the country illegally, lied on official
documents about being a citizen, and habitually made false claims
about his background. His salary and benefits cost the taxpayers
$305,000 per year. 

When ICE arrested Ian Roberts for being in the country illegally
despite an active deportation order issued under the Biden
administration, it sent shock waves through the district and
throughout the country.

However, here’s what you may not have heard in the news…

IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, MY ORGANIZATION, DEFENDING EDUCATION,
PUBLISHED A BREAKING INVESTIGATION INTO IOWA SCHOOLS’ AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION POLICIES.
 

[Iowa Affirmative Action Report] [2]

We reported that, contrary to federal law, Des Moines Public Schools
had an affirmative action plan in place that included RACIAL QUOTAS in
their hiring goals.
 

[Strategic Objective #1] [3]

It was no surprise to me that the Des Moines school board rushed to
hire someone who checked their preferred identity boxes — not only
did he support the affirmative action strategy of the district, he
likely benefited from it!

What comes next?

You and I must do everything in our power to uproot these political
and ideological litmus tests from our schools. 

No more DEI.

No more “equity” mathematics. 

No more race-based hiring. 

Here’s how you can help:

I am looking to raise $24,000 in the next 48 hours to expose harmful
ideologies in the schools. Can you join me by chipping in $10, $35,
$100, or ANY amount you can generously afford today? [4]
 

Donate $10 [5]

Donate $35 [6]

Donate $50 [7]

Donate $100 [8]

Donate $250 [9]

Donate $500 [10]

Donate Any Amount [11]

Since our founding in 2021, Defending Education has been the top
organization exposing harmful agendas in our schools and equipping
parents to fight back against them. 

My team fully relies on your immediate support to keep our
investigations alive. 

Please chip in any amount you can today. [12]

Thank you,

[Nicole Neily]
