RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL DISTRICT IS TRAINING TEACHERS IN CRITICAL RACE
THEORY

[[link removed]]

As the Justice Department and FBI targets innocent parents concerned
about critical race theory, Judicial Watch just received a 53-page
[[link removed]]
training document from a whistleblower which details how public
schools are using teachers to push critical race theory in classrooms.

The training course for the Westerly School District in Rhode Island
was assembled by the left-leaning Highlander Institute
[[link removed]]
and cites quotes from Bettina Love
[[link removed]],
from whom the Biden administration
distanced itself publicly after her statements equating
“whiteness” to oppression
[[link removed]].

The document reveals the following:

* The training course for teachers, entitled “Culturally
Responsive & Sustaining Pedagogy” is taught by Vera De Jesus and
Michaela Comella, partners at the Highlander Institute, which has an
about section
[[link removed]]
on their website
that describes itself as:

Highlander Institute partners with communities to imagine and create
more equitable, relevant, and effective schools.

Highlander Institute is named after the Highlander Folk School, a
social justice leadership training school and cultural center located
in New Market, Tennessee known for its role during the Civil Rights
Movement.

* The training course claims that there are “unfortunate truths
[[link removed]
about the history of Rhode Island and the United States.
* The training course notes that there is “systemic inequity
[[link removed]
that must be overcome in the school system.
* The training course asks teachers “How does systemic racism
[[link removed]]
manifest
itself in the education experience for students?”
* The training course links
[[link removed]]
to
a video called “Systemic Racism Explained
[[link removed]
from Act.TV, a
far-left YouTube channel.
* The course instructs teachers to ask themselves, “How do I
challenge systemic inequity
[[link removed]]
as
an educator?”
* The course goals are to “foster and sustain cultural pluralism
[[link removed]],
ultimately for the purpose of social transformation.” Further, its
stated goal is to, “disrupt the impact of educational inequity and
empower students to transform their own lives, their communities, and
society.”

* The course highlights “A Framework for Culturally Responsive &
Sustaining Pegagogy
[[link removed]
which includes:

* “Awareness” that “we all operate within an inequitable
system
* “Cognitive Development” where teachers “leverage students’
identities and interests …” and “scaffold and develop
students’ thinking skills”
* “Critical Consciousness” where the goal is that students are
motivated to “critical action so they can transform their lives,
communities, and society.”

* The course teaches that teachers should focus on collectivism over
individualism.
* In order to promote collectivism, it states that teachers may have
to “gather information
[[link removed]]
about
students’ identities …” in order to have them reflect. These
activities link to a journaling activity
[[link removed]]
where
students are prompted to write about the demographics of their
neighborhood.

What this document shows is that yet another school district, under
the rubric of critical race theory, wants to use teachers to abuse
their positions to turn children into Marxist agitators. Rather than
threatening parents, the Justice Department should be investigating
this rampant racism being pushed by lefitst extremists in schools
across America.


JUDICIAL WATCH SUES FOR DETAILS ON BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SHUT DOWN OF
CHINA-COVID INVESTIGATION

The Biden State Department shut down a national security investigation
into China’s role in the COVID pandemic, and the American people
deserve to know why.

So we filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the
U.S. Department of State for records related to an investigation into
the origins of COVID by the Bureau of Arms Control and Verification
(_Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State_
[[link removed]]
(No.
1:21-cv-02147)).

We sued after the State Department failed to respond to a simple May
28, 2021, FOIA request for:

* All records regarding the investigation into the origins of the
SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or COVID-19 by the Bureau of Arms Control and
Verification. This request includes, but is not limited to, the
following:
* All reports created pursuant to the investigation.
* All related to the actual or proposed termination of the
investigation.
* All related records of communication between any official,
employee, or representative of the Department of State. This includes
communications with any official, employee, or representative of the
World Health Organization, the government of China, and any branch,
agency, department, or office of the Federal government.

We took action after reports surfaced that the Biden administration
shut down an investigation
[[link removed]]
by
the State Department’s Bureau of Arms Control and Verification
ordered by the Trump administration in Fall 2020 to “investigate the
origins of COVID-19 and whether the virus stemmed from a leak out of
the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.” On January 15,
then-Secretary of State Michael Pompeo issued a statement
[[link removed]]
saying:


The COVID-19 pandemic was avoidable. Any responsible country would
have invited world health investigators to Wuhan within days of an
outbreak. China instead refused offers of help – including from the
United States – and punished brave Chinese doctors, scientists, and
journalists who tried to alert the world to the dangers of the virus.
Beijing continues today to withhold vital information that scientists
need to protect the world from this deadly virus, and the next one.

We’ve been very busy investigating burgeoning cover-up by Fauci and
his allies:

In July 2021, we uncovered
[[link removed]]
emails
and other records from the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases (NIAID) officials in connection with the Wuhan
Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China, revealing significant
collaborations and funding that began in 2014. The records reveal that
NIAID gave nine China-related grants to EcoHealth Alliance
[[link removed]]
to research coronavirus
emergence in bats and was the National Institute of Health’s (NIH)
top issuer of grants to the Wuhan lab itself. The records also include
an email from the Vice Director of the Wuhan Lab asking an NIH
official for help finding disinfectants for decontamination of
airtight suits and indoor surfaces.

Also in July 2021, we uncovered
[[link removed]]
CDC
records showing that Facebook coordinated closely with the CDC to
control the COVID narrative and “misinformation” and that over
$3.5 million in free advertising given to the CDC by social media
companies.

In June 2021, we revealed
[[link removed]]
that
the NIAID under Fauci gave the Wuhan lab $826,000 for bat coronavirus
research from 2014 to 2019. Also in June, Judicial Watch announced
[[link removed]]
it
filed Freedom of FOIA lawsuits against the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence (ODNI) and the State Department for information
on the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the origins of the SARS-CoV-2
virus.

In March 2021, we uncovered
[[link removed]]
emails
and other records of Fauci and Dr. H. Clifford Lane from HHS showing
that NIH officials tailored confidentiality forms to China’s terms
and that the World Health Organization (WHO) conducted an unreleased,
“strictly confidential” COVID-19 epidemiological analysis in
January 2020. Additionally, the emails reveal an independent
journalist in China pointing out the inconsistent COVID numbers in
China to NIAID’s Deputy Director for Clinical Research and Special
Projects Cliff Lane
[[link removed]].

In October 2020, we received from the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services 300 pages
[[link removed]]
of
Fauci’s emails, including his approval of a press release supportive
of China’s response to the 2019 novel coronavirus.

You can see how essential Judicial Watch’s watchdog work is in
uncovering the full truth about the origins of COVID-19. And our work
isn’t over by a long shot.

JUDICIAL WATCH SUES PENTAGON FOR VIDEOS/PHOTOS OF AFGHANS CLINGING TO
OR FALLING FROM AIRCRAFT IN KABUL

Of course, the Biden administration is running from its Afghanistan
disaster, but we intend to hold them to account for the catastrophic
surrender.

We filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the
Pentagon for videos and photos of Afghans clinging to or falling off
U.S. military aircraft at the Kabul airport. (_Judicial Watch v. U.S.
Department of Defense_
[[link removed]]
(No.
1:21-cv-02543)).

We sued after the Defense Department failed to respond to a basic FOIA
request for:

Images, including video, showing Afghans clinging to the sides of a
U.S. military aircraft at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan;

Images, including video, of persons falling from a U.S. Air Force C-17
military transport aircraft after taking off from the airport in
Kabul, Afghanistan.

Human remains were found in the wheel well of a C-17 aircraft that had
taken off from Kabul. According
[[link removed]]
to
the Air Force, “Before the aircrew could offload the cargo, the
aircraft was surrounded by hundreds of Afghan civilians who had
breached the airport perimeter. Faced with a rapidly deteriorating
security situation around the aircraft, the C-17 crew decided to
depart the airfield as quickly as possible. In addition to videos seen
online and in press reports, human remains were discovered in the
wheel well of the C-17 after it landed at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar.
The aircraft is currently impounded to provide time to collect the
remains and inspect the aircraft before it is returned to flying
status.”

Biden’s Afghanistan surrender was an unmitigated disaster that
directly killed and placed in harm’s way our troops and U.S.
citizens. And no one will ever forget the images of Afghanis falling
from and clinging to our military aircraft. Adding to the Afghan
scandal, photos and video of this disaster are now being hidden,
contrary to the law, from the American people.

And I trust you know that this lawsuit will likely be the first of
many as we seek accountability on what I consider to be the most
humiliating defeat in American history.

JAIL FOR BANGLADESHI SMUGGLER CAUGHT AMID RISE IN MIGRANTS FROM
TERRORIST NATIONS

Biden’s border crisis has been good business for transnational
criminals and the human trafficking operations they run. One such
criminal has been apprehended and sent to jail, as our _Corruption
Chronicles_ blog reports
[[link removed]].


A Bangladeshi man based in Mexico has been sentenced to 46 months in
prison
[[link removed]]
for
operating an “international human smuggling conspiracy” during a
period in which the U.S. saw a spike in migrants from terrorist
nations entering the country through the famously porous southern
border. The smuggler, 41-year-old Mohamad Milon Hossain, lived in
Tapachula in the southeast Mexican state of Chiapas bordering
Guatemala. For years Hossain assisted human smugglers operating out of
Bangladesh, South and Central America as well as Mexico to “bring
numerous undocumented individuals to the U.S. border in exchange for
payment,” according to federal documents
[[link removed]].


The Bangladeshi smuggler maintained a hotel in Tapachula where illegal
immigrants would stay on their way to the U.S., federal authorities
say. He then provided the migrants with plane tickets and other tools
so they could travel from Tapachula to Monterrey in the northeastern
Mexican state of Nuevo León where a fellow smuggler took over and
assisted their illegal crossing into the U.S. “Hossain was a key
facilitator and smuggler of Bangladeshi nationals and his actions put
our national security at risk,” said Shane Folden, the Homeland
Security Investigations (HSI) special agent in charge in San Antonio,
Texas, where the case was cracked. Folden added that “HSI is
committed to working with its domestic and international partners to
combat this type of crime throughout the globe.”

When Hossain got arrested in late 2019 migrants from terrorist nations
were trying to enter the United States through Mexico at record rates.
At the time an alarming congressional investigation
[[link removed]]
exposed
an astounding 300% increase in Bangladeshi nationals attempting to
sneak into the country through Texas alone. The feds apprehended
Hossain after arriving on a flight at George Bush Intercontinental
Airport in Houston. He was charged with smuggling 15 illegal aliens
from Bangladesh through the Texas-Mexico border in exchange for
payment from March 2017 to August 2018. An accomplice, stationed in
Monterrey, where the aliens would stay before the last leg of their
trek to the United States, has pleaded guilty for his role in the
illicit scheme. The feds say he paid drivers to transport the aliens
to the U.S. border and gave them instructions how to cross the Rio
Grande River.

In the last few years Bangladesh has had a greater presence in the
Mexican border region though Syria and Yemen are also well
represented. Bangladesh is a South-Asian Islamic country well known as
a recruiting ground for terrorist groups such as the Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Al-Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). The
smuggling operation run by Hossain is part of a broader crisis
involving a growing demographic of illegal aliens from terrorist
nations entering the U.S. through the Mexican border. The government
classifies them as Special Interest Aliens (SIA) and they are flowing
north via Latin America in huge numbers, thanks to established
Transitional Criminal Organizations (TCO) that facilitate travel along
drug and migrant smuggling routes. Tens of thousands of SIAs—from
the Middle East, Asia, and Africa—entered Panama and Colombia in
recent years. Nearly all the SIA migrants were headed to the United
States and most came from Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia,
Bangladesh, and India. Encounters with the special interest
individuals resulted in the seizure of tens of thousands of fraudulent
documents—including passports and visas—that facilitated travel
from their countries of origin through the Americas, the previously
cited congressional probe
[[link removed]]
found.


Years ago Judicial Watch, as part of an ongoing investigation into the
national security threats created by the porous southern border,
uncovered
[[link removed]]
that
Mexico is a hotbed of Islamic terrorism. Islamic jihadists are
training in southern border towns near American cities and have joined
forces with Mexican drug cartels to infiltrate the United States. A
few years ago, a high-ranking Homeland Security official confirmed
[[link removed]]
to
Judicial Watch that Mexican drug traffickers help Islamic terrorists
stationed in Mexico cross into the U.S. to explore targets for future
attacks. Among the jihadists that traveled back and forth through the
southern border was a Kuwaiti named Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir, an
ISIS operative who lives in the Mexican state of Chihuahua not far
from El Paso. Another was a Saudi Al Qaeda operative, Adnan G. El
Shurkrjumah, wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
during his undetected cross-border jaunts.

Until next week …
