OBAMA ADVISOR CONNECTED TO A SCHOOL SCAM? THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE…Considering Obama’s administration gave us the current “Equity” mandates for all public schools, the ones making it not only possible, but required that states use federal funding to implement regressive, racial-essentialist, anti-American pedagogy in K12 classrooms, I’d say everything they did related to education was a “scam.” That one ex-advisor got busted perpetrating a scam related to K12 education is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg, but still gratifying.
In spring 2013, Andrew left his role as a superintendent in his schools network to work in the U.S. Department of Education and as a senior adviser in the Office of Educational Technology at the White House. The job lasted until November 2016.
In court papers, authorities said Andrew stole $218,000 from the schools he helped create and then used the money to obtain the best interest rate his bank offered on a mortgage for a $2 million Manhattan apartment he bought with his spouse.
Andrew admitted Friday that he tried to make it appear as though the money he took from the schools came from a civic organization he controls as he moved money from the schools network accounts to his personal accounts and later to the nonprofit’s account from March to October of 2019.
Fun-fact: Democracy Prep is the school at the center of the Clark Lawsuit, filed by Gabrielle and William Clark in Nevada after a Civics teacher there failed mixed-race, but “white-passing” William for refusing to profess his “misogyny” and “white supremacy” as part of a class assignment. Her civil rights case is still pending, and she is still in need of funding. Her case is excellent, and likely to succeed if it can be brought to court, but it will take money to get it there.
