Middle school dean placed on leave after Project Veritas video exposes teacher sexualizing students, talking about panties of 'naughty' girls

PAUL SACCA
November 11, 2022

A dean at a high-priced Connecticut private school has been placed on leave after a Project Veritas video appears to show him sexualizing his students.

Iman Rasti is the middle school dean, writing center director, and seventh-grade English teacher at the Greens Farms Academy, according to his LinkedIn account. He was reportedly caught on video making sexually explicit comments about his underage students entrusted to his care. Rasti seemingly admits to being sexually turned on by his seventh-grade students.

The undercover Project Veritas journalist asked Rasti if he was ever "tempted" by his students, and he nodded in agreement, then said, "Every day."

Rasti then appeared to confess being sexually aroused by his students: "It's very hard. I mean, literally and figuratively."

Don't look now, but the ACLU is fighting to let kids change their "gender" without parental knowledge or consent

Harris Rigby
Oct 14, 2022 · NottheBee.com

You know how schools are "trans-ing the kids" by socially transitioning them at school, calling them by their preferred gender pronouns and new names behind the backs of parents?

Yeah, well, one Pennsylvania school district put an end to that, saying they'd no longer lie to and deceive parents about their child's gender confusion. A very sensible policy in an insane world.

But the ACLU will have none of that.

The "civil liberties" organization is bringing a lawsuit against the school district because of some invented right of children and schools to hide things from PARENTS.

From National Review:

On October 6, the ACLU filed a federal discrimination complaint with the civil-rights divisions of both the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education, accusing the Central Bucks School District of engaging in "illegal discrimination." The district has chronically failed "to take reasonable and necessary measures to address persistent and severe bullying and harassment of LGBTQ+ students generally, and gender non-conforming students in particular," the complaint states.

The left-wing organization also accused district leaders and the Republican-led school board of "enacting blatantly discriminatory practices and policies targeting LGBTQ+ students."

Apparently, it is now discrimination if teachers can't display flags or banners meant to normalize and indoctrinate children into radical gender theory. It's also discriminatory to refer to kids by their ACTUAL name and gender unless the parents give permission.

The Left is completely opposed to the natural order of things and parents are their primary target.

The policies the ACLU is targeting in Pennsylvania have generally been supported by conservative parents nationwide: barring the school staff from socially transitioning students with gender dysphoria without their parents' consent, allowing community members to challenge library books they believe contain age-inappropriate or sexualized content, and prohibiting teachers from displaying politically divisive flags or other materials in their classrooms.

But to the ACLU, those policies and directives are examples of discrimination targeting LGBTQ+ students. In a prepared statement, Witold Walczak, the legal director of the ACLU of Pennsylvania, said all students deserve a learning environment where they can "be their full selves without fear of being bullied."

They want these kids to be confused, abused, and sterilized and they aren't going to let their parents stand in their way.

As a parent, you have to protect your children. In this case, you have to protect them from predators in school and at the ACLU.

The ACLU is calling for the Department of Justice and the Department of Education to investigate Central Bucks and to order the district to implement measures recommended by the DOE for supporting transgender and gender non-conforming students in school.

Hunter, the school board president, noted that the district has not yet received official notice of the ACLU's complaint. She called on the organization to release to the district an unredacted version of the complaint and to bring forward any specific allegations of discrimination, harassment, or bullying.

They want to bring the State in to force this school to implement policies that undermine parents and families in order to trans the kids.

This is the goal, to liberate children from their parents and let the State become their parents

National Private School Organization to Push Critical Race Theory at Annual Conference

SPENCER LINDQUIST
15 Oct 2022137

The National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) is set to once again push critical race theory (CRT) on America’s private schools at their annual People of Color Conference (POCC).

“BIPOC in White Spaces: Addressing the Hidden Burden of Cross-Racial Interactions” is the title of one of the sessions, which claims in its description that “Black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) in predominantly white spaces often carry the burden of navigating cross-racial interactions.”

The session will focus on the anxiety that nonwhite individuals allegedly experience when interacting with their white peers. The description defines racial anxiety as “the unconscious stress response before, during, or after cross-racial interactions,” also calling it “an experience of cognitive interference and depletion.”

“White educators committed to overcoming their own racial anxiety are welcome,” it adds.

The talk will be led in part by Chap Chapman, who runs a diversity, inclusion, and equity (DIE) consulting group called “Chap Equity.” Chap Equity offers a number of different resources on its website, including lesson plans for children that discuss transgenderism and literature discussing “white anti-racist people and whiteness.”

The talk will also be led by another DIE consultant, Jessica MacFarlane. MacFarlane’s mission is to “mobilize white people in the collective process of unlearning, skills-building, and active anti-racism,” her website reads.

The session will be led in part by the Wells Collective, another DIE consultant group. One member of the Wells Collective is Kalea Selmon, who Breitbart News revealed made anti-white statements in support of racial segregation at a previous POCC.

In one clip, she remarked, “it is absolutely okay to give black and brown students things you’re not giving white children,” also saying that non-white students had to be protected from the “white gaze.”

“We must believe that change is possible. Uniting communities of color against white supremacy in the pursuit of racial justice can begin by dismantling anti-Black, anti-immigrant, and anti-Asian ideologies,” the description reads.

It goes on to say, “We must teach multiple histories and be willing to face hard truths.” But above all, the talk seeks to lay out a playbook for continued leftist institutional takeover through a racialized method of political mobilization.
Breitbart News previously revealed that the People of Color Conference was started by Randolph Carter, a former Black Panther. The conference has previously hosted talks with titles such as “Cultivating Anti-Racists and Activists in Kindergarten” and even “Decolonizing the Minds of Second Graders.” Other presentations have showcased slides with titles such as “Burn $#!% Down” and maligned the “White People Way.”

https://notthebee.com/article/hundreds- ... sex-crimes

At least 269 K–12 educators in the U.S. have been arrested for child sex crimes already this year.


Oct 15, 2022 · NottheBee.com

This is not normal and we are under no obligation to accept it as normal.

Nearly 270 public educators were arrested on child sex-related crimes in the U.S. in the first nine months of this year, ranging from grooming to raping underage students.

An analysis conducted by Fox News Digital found that from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, at least 269 educators were arrested, which works out to roughly one arrest a day.

The 269 educators included four principals, two assistant principals, 226 teachers, 20 teacher's aides and 17 substitute teachers.

Now, it's true that, by relative numbers, this is a very small fraction of the total number of teachers in the United States. Still, by raw numbers it's quite a lot. There's no point in downplaying that. And we should be prepared to learn about many more incidents in the years ahead:

"The number of teachers arrested for child sex abuse is just the tip of the iceberg — much as it was for the Catholic Church prior to widespread exposure and investigation in the early 2000s," Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The best available academic research, published by the Department of Education, suggests that nearly 10% of public school students suffer from physical abuse between kindergarten and twelfth grade."

Educators 'know better than anyone' what kids 'need to learn and thrive' says teachers' union that called for school closures

JOSEPH MACKINNON
November 14, 2022

The largest national teachers' union in the country took to social media over the weekend to reaffirm its contempt for parents and taxpayers. In a Saturday tweet, the National Education Association (NEA) suggested that the same people who advocated for stultifying school closures, masking, and the use of experimental vaccines in children "know better than anyone." The tweet was not well received.

Those who can't do, tweet

The NEA represents 3 million "educators," including public school teachers, staffers at colleges and universities, and aspiring indoctrinaires.

More than just a teachers' union, the NEA is a partisan force that doesn't simply seek to "advance the cause of public education," but supports abortion; amnesty for illegal aliens; gun bans; race-based admissions and hiring; LGBTQ activist-dictated pronoun use; statehood for the District of Columbia; making race the crux of all educational considerations; and BLM.

According to tax filings obtained by Fox News Digital, during the pandemic the NEA gave $200,000 to the George Soros-founded leftist group Democracy Alliance, which reportedly helps set up the Democratic agenda. It gave $100,000 to the Strategic Victory Fund, which boosted progressive candidates in battleground states.

The NEA gave $6.1 million to the New Jersey Education Association, which took out attack ads on parents who were critical of critical race and gender theories. The association also called on social media platforms to censor the speech of concerned parents online.

The NEA, whose president is a leftist partisan and a "fierce social justice warrior," knows which political causes to rally behind with taxpayers' money because it believes it knows best.

The union made that abundantly clear when its official Twitter account wrote, "Educators love their students and know better than anyone what they need to learn and to thrive."

Maryland school district unveils LGBTQ propaganda targeting toddlers with highly sexual concepts

JOSEPH MACKINNON
November 15, 2022

The largest school system in Maryland has unveiled a new book list loaded with LGBT-activist propaganda aimed at elementary schools and tailored to children as young as 4. The objective of the sexual content is to "reduce stigmatization and marginalization of transgender and gender nonconforming students."

Fox News Digital reported that a recent Montgomery County Public Schools PowerPoint presentation referenced a set of activist books that will be distributed to classrooms, from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. The books seek to undermine the concept of a gender binary at an early age and immerse children in the vernacular of LGBT activists, teaching toddlers words like "drag queen" and "intersex."

Pre-kindergarteners will read or be read "Pride Puppy!" a book about a young child celebrating "Pride Day" with his grandfather. It is touted as an "affirming and inclusive book that offers a joyful glimpse of a Pride parade and the vibrant community that celebrates this day each year.

Kindergarteners (i.e., children ages 5 and 6) will take a break from learning to tie their shoes and mastering the alphabet to read "Uncle Bobby's Wedding," a book about a gay wedding.

Move over, "Clifford the Big Red Dog." First-graders will read "Intersection Allies," a "gleeful entry into intersectional feminism for kids ... offering an opportunity to ... connect to collective struggle for justice."

After a few years, kids in the MCPS district will be ready for "Born Ready: The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope," a book about the black transsexual son of the activist chair of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation Board.

Shaping the confused minds of tomorrow

It's not enough that the books are in the curriculum. MCPS wants to make sure the message is getting across.

MCPS pre-K teachers were provided with a resource guide linking them to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's glossary of "LGBTQ+ words."

Accordingly, teachers can provide toddlers with activist-approved definitions for words such as: "non-binary"; "transgender"; "pansexual"; "cisgender"; and "gender expression."

Teachers are instructed to "disrupt the either/or thinking" and emphasize that "people of any gender can like whoever they like. People are allowed to like whoever they want" and that pleasure should be the determining factor behind students' choices pertaining to the clothes they wear, the books they like, and the play they engage in.

Skirt-wearing biological boy sexually assaulted 2 female students last year – superintendent finally fired following grand jury report

CANDACE HATHAWAY
December 07, 2022

The Loudoun County School Board fired Superintendent Scott Ziegler following a grand jury report regarding the district's handling of two sexual assaults committed by a biological boy who claimed to be transgender, Fox News Digital reported.

In May 2021, the skirt-wearing biological male student was accused of raping a 15-year-old female student in the girls' bathroom. The story received national attention when the victim's father, Scott Smith, accused Loudoun County School District of covering up the sexual assault to protect to its transgender policy.

Following the horrifying attack, the biological boy was removed from the school and quietly sent to another school in the same district, where the student was accused of sexually assaulting another girl in October 2021.

The attacker faced charges and was found guilty of both sexual assaults.

Monday's grand jury report stated that the district showed a "stunning lack of openness, transparency and accountability, both to the public and to the special grand jury."

The report noted that the district "failed at every juncture." According to the report, the school board attempted to "thwart, discredit and push back" against the grand jury's investigation.

The grand jury slammed Ziegler for claiming at a school board meeting in June of last year that he did not have any knowledge of the first sexual assault and that there was no "record of assaults occurring in our restrooms." In that meeting, Ziegler also stated that "the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist." :!: :x :!:

This doesn’t surprise me. My disabled daughter was sexually assaulted the day after a boy sexually assaulted another disabled girl on the school grounds. The school HID BOTH INSTANCES. My daughter was confused about what happened and told me that the boy “spanked” her while the truth was more horrific to what he did in both instances to both girls. The frustration I had w the school districts was not just why they allowed this but the cover ups of the Sped teachers, assistant’s, principal, and superintendent. It was inexcusable. There were a lot of resignation’s and “early retirements” but no real consequences. In the end, as a parent I ended up fighting a school district who was using my tax money to cover up their misdeeds. It was absolutely disgusting and no one lost but the precious girls involved. Sigh 😔

That is beyond gut-wrenching, FME; I don't even have words to express just how much that sickens and saddens me, tbh. :cry: Bless your daughter's and the other girl's hearts and souls, truly; and may the Savior heal them wholly, body and spirit.

As for the boy and school officials - well, a tall tree, and a short rope is needed.

Here are my reasons (not excuses)

-My kids need the social interaction.
-My kids don't listen to my wife and I will enough to be taught by us. They need teachers who they are a little afraid of.
-We don't have the energy for it.

Thank you. It has taken a while to heal from it but what was more eye opening was realizing that this isn't just an isolated incident, as referred to in EmmaLee's post above. We live in a fallen world, and it happens so much and there are so many tears that fall to the ground in silence, but the Lord takes note of every single one and he gives us strength. But I do agree with EmmaLee, as far as the outcome needed for the boy and the school officials. Until then...

Small-town elementary teacher accused of forcing young boys to touch his groin during class

CORTNEY WEIL
December 07, 2022

A long-time elementary teacher in Benson, Minnesota, about 150 miles west of St. Paul, is in custody after surveillance footage from his classroom allegedly showed him forcing young boys to grope his groin area.

Last Friday, Roger Joseph Ebnet, 59, who teaches second grade :!: at Northside Elementary School in Benson, was arrested after reports indicated he forced at least three boys, ages 7 and 8, :!: :x :!: to touch him inappropriately.

On December 1, Ebnet allegedly had one boy sit between his legs and instructed the other students in the classroom to close their eyes and face the opposite direction. According to the criminal complaint, Ebnet then sat "up slightly" and placed "the boy's hand" so that it was underneath his — meaning Ebnet's — "groin area."

That same day, video footage allegedly showed Ebnet positioning another boy between his legs and placing that child's hands behind his back so that they were close to Ebnet's groin. At that point, "Roger Ebnet continue[d] to squeeze his thighs and make upward movements with his groin towards the child’s bottom," the complaint alleged.

A similar incident with yet a third boy had allegedly occurred the day before. Ebnet compelled that boy's hand to be placed behind his back as well, at which point, Ebnet began making thrust-like motions with his pelvis, video footage reportedly suggested.

Ebnet was arrested and charged with three felony counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct. He is currently booked in Yellow Medicine County Jail on $200,000 unconditional bond or $25,000 conditional bond. Should Ebnet post conditional bond, he would be barred from all Benson Public Schools and from interacting with all persons under age 18, including the alleged victims. He would also be forced to wear a GPS monitoring device. He is scheduled to appear in court again on December 14.

Ebnet's arrest has shocked the small town of Benson, which has fewer than 3,500 residents. He has worked for the district for 30 years :!: and was named an Educator of Excellence in 2017 :!: by the Minnesota Rural Education Association.

Dean of students brags about bringing in LGBT group that passed around sex toys in classroom, talked to kids about 'queer sex'

JOSEPH MACKINNON
December 08, 2022

A high-ranking official at an elite school that serves kids from pre-K :!: :!: :!: through twelfth grade bragged to an undercover reporter that he has gone far beyond bringing drag queens into the classroom.

Joseph Bruno, dean of students at Chicago's Francis W. Parker School, indicated he brought in an LGBT group that passed around sex toys to kids and discussed "queer sex" best practices during "Pride Week."

Project Veritas released a video of Bruno's remarks on Wednesday.

Francis W. Parker School purportedly guides students "in their learning and development so they can become authentic, effective, responsible and empathic citizens and leaders in our democracy :x and the wider world."

To this end, the school's faculty "is committed to healthy identity formation :?: :?: :?: and intellectual development within each learner at Parker."

Last week at a National Association of Independent Schools People of Color conference, the school's dean of students unwittingly spoke with an undercover Project Veritas reporter on hidden camera, detailing some of the initiatives that have been undertaken in the classroom to aid in such "identity formation."

"During Pride, we do a Pride Week every year, and I had, like, our LGBTQ+ health center come in. They were passing around butt plugs and dildos to my students. Talking about queer sex, using lube versus using spit," said Bruno.

Bruno indicated that the kids were "just playing with" and "looking at" the sex toys that had been distributed in the classroom "while I'm sitting there."

According to Bruno, some kids asked, "How does this butt plug work? How do we do, like, how does this work?"

Bruno intimated that "a really, like, cool part of my job is I don't have to worry" about potential resistance to prompting and answering such questions and to giving kids lessons on "queer sex."

The reporter asked, "Everybody's cool with that? The butt plugs and the dildos?"

Bruno responded, "No. ... It's queer sex."

Having apparently faced little to no opposition from the board of trustees, the administration, or parents, Bruno said he enjoyed "so much freedom. So much money to do stuff."

There's plenty of money in the school's coffers, given that tuition ranges from $37,080 to $42,300.

The dean of students said the school also "had a drag queen come in, pass out cookies and brownies and do photos" with students ages 14 to 18.

Alex Bevels, the "non-binary" man dressed as a woman who was brought into the classroom, "hung out" in Bruno's classroom and office.

Rather that condemn Bruno's remarks or explain the alleged provision of sex toys to kids, the school stated that "administrators and Parker's Board of Trustees support Parker's programming, the strength and inclusivity of our curriculum, and the dedicated faculty and staff that teach it."

I think the biggest problem with homeschooling is thinking we have to imitate public schools. Lack of money is the next big problem.

If we think we have to make our kids sit in a desk for hours a day and do the boring stuff they have to do at school, it can definitely be a fight. But if we can notice our children's particular interests and natural talents - and have the money to follow that - homeschooling can be a joy.

We didn't have much money, so I wasn't able to do all I wanted to do. I got my son several science kits. One day, while I took a nap, he went through every one of them. So much for them lasting a while - and I did not have enough money to buy him more.

But when he went to public school, he declared that he hated science. I told him he didn't hate science; he hated the way they taught it. He has been a scientist since the day - at around 2 or 3 years old - he dismantled the phone box (the boxes we had in the old days that you'd plug phones into).

One thing I didn't follow through with, and wish I had, was the idea of doing simple arithmetic while playing catch with a small football (I can't throw a round ball straight to save my life, so we used this). My son loved it, even though he hated arithmetic.

He hated words, especially writing them, thus some high school classes were a nightmare for him. On the other hand, he could learn a great deal watching a YouTube video. He was a whiz at taking things apart and putting them together again. He was a car mechanic - don't know if he's still doing that or not.

On the other hand, one of my daughters - at around age 8 or 9 - decided to write a research paper on sea turtles, using one of our sets of encyclopedias. She shared with me what she learned - and, thus, I learned things I hadn't known before.

If I'd had the money for the supplies, I would have put my kids in school a lot less. If I'd known someone with an interest and a natural talent for teaching kids, I would have had them teach my children certain subjects - like math or car mechanics.

In today's climate, I would have always homeschooled them, and prayed they would learn enough for their lives to work for them.

We never had pedophilic teachers in the schools they went to, when they went. We didn't have the "white guilt" (guilt for existing). We didn't have the "blacks are stupid" (math is racist; having a driver's license is racist), either.

People have become complacent. I can not even fathom the hatred or at a minimum, total disregard for a child's safety and future, as a vile human that allows their child to attend public school.

A couple of my grandchildren are in public school. Both of their mothers, my daughters, think that I am far too concerned about nothing.

There are teachers and administrators that lie and say they do not worship satan. The proof that they are liars is the fact that they belong to the teachers union. This make them the scum of the earth. Even lower than whale sh!t. If they had good morals and cared for the children, they would quit the satanic union and teach privately. But because they are the scum of the earth, there is no person at school that a child can trust. NONE.

In my little town, the scum of the earth go sit by satanists at church where big pharma and queers are promoted. They take the sacrament and desecrate the temple.

When we didn't homeschool, my excuse was that my big kids (now adults) loved school. As soon as that changed I took them out of the system.

One of the best parenting decisions I made was to not send my youngest three to school.

'Critical theory is the framework' used to train teachers: K-12 public schools 'saturated' with CRT due to teachers' education, report finds
January 10, 2023

A new Monday report finds that California public schools are "saturated with critical theory ideology" and "divisive rhetoric" because future teachers are trained using a "critical theory" framework.

CriticalRace.org, a project of the nonprofit Legal Insurrection Foundation, recently released a report titled "UC Schools of Education Report: Who Teaches the Teachers?" by Dr. Brandy Shufutinsky, which examines the training programs used to teach future educators in the University of California Schools of Education system.

"The impact that UC educated teachers have in shaping the minds of future generations is substantial. Because of the impact UC trained teachers have on students, it is essential that the pedagogical frame(s) used in schools of education and teacher training programs are examined for politicization and biases," the report stated.

The study attempts to show how critical race theory made its way into the public education system by investigating the curricula used to train teachers.

Talks about "misinformation", "identifying fact from fiction", and being able to "accurately assess information in a time of disinformation" - and then refers to our Constitutional Republic as a "democracy". Doesn't get any better! :lol: I can just imagine what other mis/disinformation the government schools are "teaching" these days that young, impressionable children are soaking up like sponges.

Mandatory 'media literacy' education for K-12 students will help children identify so-called 'disinformation,' says New Jersey Gov. Murphy
January 11, 2023

Last week, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (D) signed a first-of-its-kind bill into law requiring all K-12 students to receive an education in "media literacy," which the governor argued would allow children to identify so-called "misinformation."

"I am proud to sign a first-in-the-nation, bipartisan law to equip NJ students with tools to identify fact from fiction," Murphy tweeted. "K-12 media literacy education will empower future leaders to accurately assess information — essential in preserving our democracy in a time of disinformation."
