Court Martial For Milley?

SCHOOL DISTRICT SETTLES WITH COACH FIRED FOR OBJECTING TO CRITICAL
RACE THEORY

[[link removed]]

David Flynn has been a devotee
[[link removed]]
of Dedham Massachusetts High School his whole life. As a student, he
led the football team to a championship, then became the assistant
football coach for four years, and eventually took the role of head
coach in 2011.

However, he was abruptly fired in 2021 after exercising his right as a
parent-citizen to raise concerns about critical race theory and Black
Lives Matter propaganda in his daughter’s seventh-grade history
class.

We took his case, and we’re pleased to announce that he settled
[[link removed]]
his civil rights lawsuit against his former employers at Dedham Public
Schools.

“The past two years have been difficult for me and my family. I
thank my family, friends, and everyone else who reached out for their
continued support,” said Coach Flynn. “With Judicial Watch’s
help, I can move on from this challenging situation knowing that by
raising my concerns through the appropriate channels I made a
difference for the students and families of Dedham Public Schools. I
hope other parents can learn from this and not back down from fighting
for what is best for their families.”

As part of the settlement, the Superintendent of Dedham Public
Schools, Michael Welch, acknowledged “the important and valid
issues” raised by Flynn and specific changes in school policies
because of Flynn’s complaint, including banning teachers from
promoting Black Lives Matter to students online.

The Superintendent’s acknowledgment is the result of a February 2021
lawsuit
[[link removed]]
filed in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts against the superintendent, high school principal, and
high school athletic director for retaliating against Flynn for
exercising his First Amendment rights (Flynn v. Forrest et al. (No.
21-cv-10256)).

The superintendent wrote in the letter
[[link removed]]
that Flynn’s concerns were valid and that the school district is
amicable to the settlement:

Dear Dave,

I hope you and your family are well. I am writing this letter to
acknowledge the important and valid issues you raised regarding the
Dedham Public Schools and the subsequent lawsuit you filed in federal
court. I am pleased that we are able to amicably settle this matter
after the recently filed appeal of the court’s decision.

First and foremost, I want to acknowledge and validate the concerns
you initially raised regarding your daughter’s experiences at Dedham
Middle School. You had every right to inquire about these issues, and
you followed the appropriate steps in attempting to learn more. You
correctly pointed out that the 7th grade social studies curriculum had
significantly changed and parents were not informed of these changes.
In probing this matter further, you discovered that the district’s
website did not accurately reflect the new curriculum content, and
parents were unable to understand what was being taught. Your
legitimate questions prompted additional conversations at the School
Committee level that ultimately led to the establishment of a
Curriculum Advisory Committee that now brings together parents,
community members, and district educators to broadly review and more
thoroughly communicate curriculum changes and concerns. Curriculum
updates are a necessary and important part of the work of school
districts, and effectively communicating these improvements is a
critical component of this process.

Your initial inquiry triggered a larger internal conversation about
the district’s oversight in the teaching of these new curriculum
units. More specifically, the sequencing of the curriculum’s
identity unit and the virtual use of a Black Lives Matter emoji
t-shirt by a teacher sparked a series of intense conversations about
teacher autonomy and the importance of balanced messaging and
viewpoints in the classroom. As you pointed out, positive intentions
can often have unintended negative impacts on students. Ultimately, I
directed staff to remove these t-shirt emojis and instructed them to
not wear these in the classroom in the future.

Finally, I understand that after you raised these concerns at the
classroom level, you left that initial conversation expecting to hear
directly from the building principal. It appears this was unclear
within the school and you did not hear back in a timely manner. I am
sorry for this breakdown. Effective two-way dialogue among parents and
school staff is the foundation of mutual trust. While we pride
ourselves on this connection, in this particular instance this fueled
frustration and identified room for improvement.

I regret that these initial justifiable concerns ultimately led to
where we are today. As you have indicated, I appreciate your
recognition of the opportunity to have improved the trajectory of this
sequence. With this settlement, I hope we are able to put any
divisions behind us and begin the important work of healing through
better conversations and listening.

I recognize the school district's opportunity to improve based upon
the issues you have identified, and I thank you for raising them. As
educators, I believe we can always learn from our experiences. Thank
you for your many years of dedicated commitment to the development of
student-athletes in Dedham.

Sincerely,
Michael J. Welch
Superintendent
This is a remarkable victory for Coach Flynn, as his federal civil
rights lawsuit resulted in the Dedham School District admitting that
he was absolutely right to be concerned about the district introducing
a new, controversial CRT-style curriculum without parental notice or
involvement. And Coach Flynn also appreciates that the teachers will
no longer be able to use virtual learning to push Black Lives Matter
symbols. It shouldn’t have taken a federal civil rights lawsuit for
the school district to do the right thing. We hope other school
officials take note that they must treat parental curriculum concerns
with respect and avoid radical indoctrination of children.

Our lawsuits and FOIA requests on critical race theory and other
leftist extremism are extensive:

* Earlier this month, we sued
[[link removed]]
on behalf of a Minneapolis taxpayer over a teachers’ contract that
provides discriminatory job protections to certain racial minorities.
The lawsuit was filed against the superintendent of the Minneapolis
Public Schools, the Minneapolis Public Schools, and the Minneapolis
Board of Education for violating the Equal Protection Guarantee of the
Minnesota Constitution.
* In July 2022 we sued
[[link removed]]
the U.S. Department of Defense for records related to the United
States Naval Academy implementing critical race theory in the training
of naval recruits.
* Records
[[link removed]]
produced in April 2022 from the National Credit Union Administration
(NCUA) show the government agency responsible for regulating credit
unions required “inclusion and unconscious bias training” for the
agency’s employees and contractors and offered advice on how to
recognize and address alleged “microaggressions” in the workplace.
* Records
[[link removed]]
produced in February 2022 from the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (CFPB) included a PowerPoint presentation titled “Race and
gender based microaggressions” that was used for training at the
organization.
* Two sets of records we obtained in November 2021 related to the
teaching of critical race theory in Montgomery County Public Schools
[[link removed]]
(MCPS),
Maryland’s largest school system, included a training course with
information about a book titled “Antiracist Baby” that introduces
the youngest readers to “the concept and power of antiracism,” and
says it’s the “perfect gift” for “ages baby to age 3.”
* Records from Loudoun County, VA, obtained in October 2021 revealed
a coordinated effort to advance critical race theory initiatives in
Loudoun County public schools
[[link removed]]
despite widespread
public opposition.
* A training document provided to us in October 2021 by a
whistleblower in the Westerly School District
[[link removed]]
of Rhode
Island, details how its schools are using teachers to push critical
race theory in classrooms. The training course was assembled by the
left-leaning Highlander Institute and cites quotes from Bettina Love,
from whom the Biden administration distanced itself publicly after her
statements equating “whiteness” to oppression.
* Records produced in June 2021 by Wellesley Public Schools
[[link removed]]
in Massachusetts
confirmed the use of “affinity spaces” that divide students and
staff based on race as a priority and objective of the school
district’s “diversity, equity and inclusion” plan. The school
district also admitted that between September 1, 2020, and May 17,
2021, it created “five distinct” segregated spaces.
* Heavily redacted records we obtained in May 2021 from Montgomery
County Public Schools
[[link removed]]
(MCPS) in Maryland
included documents related to their $454,000 “Anti-racist system
audit” and critical race theory classes. Students were taught that
the phrase “Make America Great Again” was an example of “covert
white supremacy.”

WHY GEN. MARK MILLEY SHOULD BE COURT-MARTIALED

Chris Farrell, our Director of Investigations & Research and a former
U.S. Army intelligence officer, has identified the most egregious
examples of treasonous subversion by a commissioned officer since
Benedict Arnold. And that officer currently is at the top of the
military hierarchy, no less. Here is Chris’ report
[[link removed]]
in _The Washington Times_.

Gen. Mark A. Milley
[[link removed]],
chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, should be subject to an Article 32 Hearing
under the provisions of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for his
[[link removed]]
conduct and
statements as memorialized in the Bob Woodward book “Peril,” and
the Aug. 8, 2022, New Yorker magazine excerpt of a forthcoming book by
Susan B. Glasser and Peter Baker
[[link removed]].


An Article 32 Hearing is the military equivalent of a civilian grand
jury, and should probable cause of the commission of a crime be
established, it would lead to Gen. Milley’s court-martial. The Army
has an affirmative duty to maintain good order and discipline,
especially with regard to senior leader misconduct.

History provides an example of a senior officer engaged in misconduct.
Assistant Chief of the Army Air Service Brig. Gen. Billy Mitchell
[[link removed]]
was
court-martialed in 1925 for remarks to the press concerning two deadly
military aviation accidents.

Mitchell made the following offending statements: “These incidents
are the direct result of the incompetency, criminal negligence and
almost treasonable administration of the national defense by the Navy
and War Departments,” and “The bodies of my former companions in
the air molder under the soil in America, and Asia, Europe and Africa,
many, yes a great many, sent there directly by official
stupidity.”

On Dec. 17, 1925, Mitchell was found guilty of “conduct of a nature
to bring discredit upon the military service.” The court suspended
Mitchell from rank, command, and duty, with the forfeiture of all pay
and allowances for five years. Mitchell resigned from his
[[link removed]]
commission as
an Army officer on Feb. 1, 1926. Some would say that history
vindicated Mitchell, with the coming of World War II. Nonetheless,
Mitchell paid the price for press statements outside the scope of his
[[link removed]]
authority and
for his
[[link removed]]
insubordination.

Gen. Milley called his communist Chinese military counterpart in
October 2020 and January 2021 with unauthorized promises and
assurances of advanced warnings of U.S. military intentions and
actions. America learned of these contacts through the book
“Peril,” authored by Mr. Woodward and Robert Costa. In the book,
Gen. Milley is quoted as saying, “General Li, I want to assure you
that the American government is stable and everything is going to be
OK. We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations
against you.” And then, reportedly, Gen. Milley said this:
“General Li, you and I have known each other for five years. If
we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s
not going to be a surprise.”

Gen. Milley admitted to making the calls. A spokesman for Gen. Milley
stated that Gen. Milley acted within his authority as the senior
military adviser to the president and the secretary of defense, yet
Gen. Milley failed to consult any civilian authority, a fact confirmed
by Christopher Miller, the former acting secretary of defense, and by
former President Donald Trump.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a graduate of West Point and an
Army officer, as well as a lawyer, congressman and former director of
the CIA, described Gen. Milley’s actions: “If you had a senior
military leader, who is simply an adviser, tell the Chinese Communist
Party that they would get notice of an attack, this rivals anything
we’ve seen in our nation’s history.”

Mr. Woodward and Mr. Costa “obtained” a copy of a call transcript
between Gen. Milley and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi concerning Mr.
Trump and nuclear weapons. The book provides detailed quotes from both
Gen. Milley and Mrs. Pelosi. In one exchange, Mrs. Pelosi at length
attacks Mr. Trump, saying “they couldn’t even stop him from an
assault on the Capitol,” and that “he’s crazy. You know he’s
crazy. He’s been crazy for a long time.”

“So don’t say you don’t know what his state of mind is. He’s
crazy and what he did yesterday is further evidence of his craziness.
But anyway, I appreciate what you said.”

Gen. Milley responds to Mrs. Pelosi, “Madam Speaker, I agree with
you on everything.”

Gen. Milley obviously cooperated in some manner with Mr. Woodward.
Freedom of Information Act requests for call transcripts were
stonewalled by the Pentagon. Gen. Milley is hiding the information
from the American people and forcing a current lawsuit in federal
court to compel him to release information he selectively leaked to
friendly reporters.

Mr. Baker
[[link removed]]
and
Ms. Glasser
[[link removed]]
make clear that Gen. Milley loathed Mr. Trump and was grossly
insubordinate. The authors quote Gen. Milley saying, “F—- that
s—-, I’ll just fight him” [President Trump], and, “If they
want to court-martial me, or put me in prison, have at it. But I will
fight from the inside.” A general “fighting from the inside”
against the president is the very definition of subversion.

Gen. Milley must be held to account for his conduct and selectively
leaked statements. His conduct goes far beyond the controversy of the
Mitchell court-martial. Mitchell pales by comparison. His
[[link removed]]
reported
actions, if true, are the most egregious examples of treasonous
subversion by a commissioned officer of the United States since Maj.
Gen. Benedict Arnold.

HUNDREDS OF ADULT MIGRANTS POSE AS MINORS TO DODGE DEPORTATION

The Biden administration’s border crisis makes a mockery of the rule
of law. If the administration doesn’t follow the law, why would a
foreign national trying to game our immigration system? Our
_Corruption Chronicles_ blog has the details
[[link removed]].


As if the crisis along the southern border were not bad enough, adult
illegal immigrants are posing as minors to enter—and stay in—the
U.S. since typically those under 18 are welcomed with open arms. The
government refers to them as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) and
hundreds of thousands have entered the country in the last few years.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is charged with
caring for illegal aliens under the age of 18 and the agency spends
millions of dollars annually to house, medically treat, entertain, and
school UAC who come mainly from Central America. Undoubtedly, illegal
immigrant minors are almost always allowed to remain in the U.S. and
quickly disbursed to a government-funded shelter upon arrival at the
border.

The special treatment has led to even more criminal behavior by those
already breaking the law entering the U.S. illegally. In El Paso
alone, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirms that more than 655
adult migrants posing as minors
[[link removed]]
have been busted in fiscal year 2022. This week the agency announced
that the El Paso Sector has recently seen an unusual amount of
activity involving adults posing as minors to dodge deportation. In
one of the incidents agents identified 10 adults posting as UAC while
in custody. CBP has a limited time to transfer UAC to HHS custody once
the illegal border crossers are vetted and there begins the journey to
stay in the U.S. Bigger criminal enterprises are behind the imposter
plots, according to federal authorities. “Transnational Criminal
Organizations exploit migrants convincing them to pose as minors in
order to be processed as such” said El Paso Sector Border Patrol
Chief Gloria I. Chavez. “Identity fraud is a common tactic used by
TCOs to take advantage of migrants who do not know the legal
consequences of their actions as they attempt to deceive
authorities.”

The frontline Homeland Security agency says three adults posing as
minors were also discovered recently using counterfeit documentation
at the El Paso Sector Central Processing Center in Texas. The illegal
immigrants, a 21-year-old female, 22-year-old female and 22-year-old
male, are from Guatemala and were part of a group of 13 apprehended by
federal agents in the area. “The three were encountered, along with
nine unaccompanied children from Guatemala and one adult,” CBP
writes in a statement. “These individuals pose as minors in order to
avoid expulsion.” In a separate incident this month three males from
Guatemala, ages 18, 25 and 26, intentionally posed as minors to remain
in the U.S. Federal agents detected discrepancies between their
stories and documentation presented in their failed attempt to pass as
minors.

In yet another incident made public this month, CBP officers at El
Paso’s Ysleta Station, which is responsible for 16.7 miles of the
international boundary along the Rio Grande River, discovered a group
of what appeared to be eight minors later determined to be from
Guatemala crossing the border illegally. Two of the illegal immigrants
pretending to be underage turned out to be imposters, according to the
feds. One was a 22-year-old male and the other a 19-year-old female.
As in the other cases, agents, though overwhelmed with an onslaught of
illegal immigration, detected discrepancies during interviews. CBP
warns that individuals who attempt to pose as unaccompanied children
may face charges under American laws that prohibit false statements to
federal agents and conspiracy to defraud the U.S.

The last thing the country’s disastrous immigration system needs is
more UAC. American taxpayers already spend a fortune to accommodate
them through HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which funds
and oversees dozens of state-licensed care facilities to house the
young migrants when they arrive in the U.S. In fiscal year 2021 ORR
housed an unprecedented 122,731 UAC, according to government figures
[[link removed]],
and this year’s budget is a whopping $8.76 billion. HHS projects
that in 2022 it will accommodate approximately 149,000 and between 500
and 600 daily for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends in
September. Last year the overwhelming majority of illegal immigrant
minors in U.S. custody, approximately 72%, were over 14 years of age
and 66% were male. Nearly half (47%) of the underage migrants came
from Guatemala, 32% from Honduras, 13% from El Salvador and 8% from
other countries.
Until next week,
