Audio Shows Grace Church Head Teacher Admitting ‘We’re Demonizing White People for Being Born’ (Listen)

A whistleblowing teacher at Manhattan’s elite Grace Church School released audio Tuesday to corroborate his claims that the head teacher is “indoctrinating” students in the name of “anti-racism.”

The audio, which was put out by the Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism, relays a March 2 conversation between math teacher Paul Rossi and Head of School George Davison. In the discussion, Davison appears to agree with the now-dismissed teacher’s accusation that the school is teaching white students that they are inherently “evil.”

Rossi sparked the school’s latest controversy last week after New York Times writer Bari Weiss published an essay in which Rossi accused the administration of obsessively discussing race and “demonizing” white students.

A school spokesperson on Tuesday confirmed to the media that Rossi declined to renew his contract for next year but will remain on the payroll for the rest of the current term before departing.

“Having a teacher, an authority figure, talk to you endlessly, every year, telling you, that because you have whiteness, you are associated with evils, with all these different evils, it’s not the same as taking a physical thing, because it doesn’t affect your moral value. That’s the problem,” Rossi can be heard telling Davison in early March, in the audio released this week.

“I’m agreeing with you that there has been a demonization that we need to get our hands around, in the way in which people are doing this understanding,” Davison replies. “We’re demonizing white people for being born.”

“And are some of our students white people? OK, so we’re demonizing white kids. Why don’t you just say it?” Rossi continued.

DPS Insider Leaks Report, Suspected Yemeni Terrorist Tracked and Apprehended Near Southern Border

Project Veritas released a new video today featuring leaked Department of Homeland Security documents that showed how the U.S. government tracked a suspected Yemeni terrorist by the name of Al-Bokari.

Starting his route in Panama, the Yemini terror suspect was able to make his way to the Mexicali airport in Northwest Mexico before being detained by Mexican authorities on Monday, April 12. Al-Bokari was soon after released back into the general public by the country’s government.

A leaked DHS document titled “Significant Event Report” and labelled as “unclassified // law enforcement sensitive” shows that the U.S. government was expecting Al-Bokari to make his way to the United States upon his release, given the precarious situation at the Southern border.

According to the Associated Press, two other Yemeni nationals who are listed as terror suspects tried to enter the U.S. illegally a few weeks ago. The current border crisis has emboldened dangerous individuals to attempt entry into the United States in that manner.

Soon after leaking the original report, a DHS insider provided a new document to Veritas showing that Al-Bokari was in fact apprehended by U.S. authorities in Calexico, California on Tuesday, April 13.

Petition to Undo Whitmer’s COVID-19 Executive Orders Has Enough Valid Signatures

A petition drive in Michigan that is seeking to repeal a law that underpins many of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s restrictive COVID-19 executive orders has enough valid signatures to proceed up the chain that leads to the state legislature, which could drive the final nail in its coffin, documents show.

The conservative-led initiative, called Unlock Michigan, needed 340,047 signatures to obtain certification from the state’s Bureau of Elections, a necessary precondition to send the matter to the state’s GOP-led legislature. An April 19 staff report from the Michigan Secretary of State’s office (pdf) estimated at a 100 percent confidence level that the petition drive had amassed 460,358 valid signatures out of a total filing that contained just over 538,000 signatures. The document also features a recommendation that the petition be certified.

The staff report is a precursor to a meeting of the Michigan Board of State Canvassers, which is composed of two Democrats and two Republicans and will convene Thursday (pdf) to consider whether the petition filed by Unlock Michigan is up to snuff.

Michigan Republicans have argued that Whitmer’s lockdowns were damaging to the economy and the livelihood of residents. Unlock Michigan spokesman Fred Wszolek hailed the report’s recommendation in a tweet.

“The MI Bureau of Elections recommends that the #UnlockMichigan petition be certified. With over 460,000 VALID signatures, it’s not even a close call…. @GovWhitmer maybe now you’ll try working WITH the legislature, instead of governing by decree?” Wszolek wrote.

Whitmer has signed nearly 130 executive orders since May 2020, imposing a bevy of COVID-19 restrictions that opponents have called both onerous and arbitrary, initially relying on a 1976 emergency powers law and later pivoting to an archaic 1945 Emergency Powers of the Governor Act to undergird her actions. The governor has repeatedly insisted that the measures were necessary to protect Michiganders from the outbreak.

If the Board of State Canvassers validates the Unlock Michigan petition, it will head to the state’s GOP-led legislature, which could enact a repeal of the 1945 act and avoid a Whitmer veto. Alternatively, the legislature could opt not to take up the matter and instead put it on a 2022 ballot for voters to decide, but Unlock Michigan expects the legislature will move to repeal, according to The Detroit News.

George Floyd Riots Caused Record-Setting $2 Billion in Damage, New Report Says. Here’s Why the True Cost Is Even Higher

Even beyond face-value insurance costs, riots leave a lasting shadow on a city that haunts its economy for decades.

When George Floyd died while in police custody in late May, most agreed his premature death was a tragedy. Yet the discussion on criminal justice reform that emerged in the weeks after Floyd’s passing was quickly overshadowed by the rioting, looting, and violence that broke out in major cities such as Minneapolis, Seattle, and New York.

Dozens of people were killed or injured in the violent unrest, and thousands of businesses and properties, many minority-owned, were looted, torched, or otherwise vandalized. Only now are we beginning to realize the full cost of the destruction. New reporting from Axios reveals that the total insured property losses incurred during the George Floyd riots will come in at $1 billion to $2 billion.

The US has experienced rioting over racial tensions before, but this report shows that the damage from the latest unrest will far exceed any historical precedent.

“The arson, vandalism and looting… will result in at least $1 billion to $2 billion of paid insurance claims,” Axios reports. “[This will] eclips[e] the record set in Los Angeles in 1992 after the acquittal of the police officers who brutalized Rodney King.”

However, there are many reasons that this figure vastly underestimates the true damage wrought by the looting and violence that has broken out in recent months.

For one, the Axios report only measures insured losses. The obvious problem here is that not all the damages were insured.

As I have previously explained, insurance is no panacea for the societal ills imposed by rioting. Indeed, 75 percent of US businesses are under-insured and about 40 percent of small businesses have no insurance at all. Their untold millions in losses don’t show up in the $2 billion figure.

BLM Protesters Call for Insurrection, ‘Street Justice’ on White People So They ‘Feel The Pain And The Hurt’

“I don’t want to say we need to start killing all white folks, but it’s like, maybe they need to start feeling the pain and the hurt”

Black Lives Matter and racial justice protesters at the George Floyd Memorial in Minneapolis, Minnesota spoke to journalist Ami Horowitz on Tuesday, the day of the Derek Chauvin trial verdict, to express their desire to see “pain” and “hurt” inflicted on “white folks” via “street justice,” and expressed ignorance about the statistics of police-involved shooting, claiming “thousands” of unarmed black people are killed by police every day in a systemic “genocide” of the “African-American race.”

Horowitz first asked the protesters if believed the city should be burned down, to which they unanimously answered in the affirmative. One female protester explained that burning the city down would make “them see that we’re here” and “continue the movement.”

Black Lives Matter Activists Harass NYC Diners at ‘White-Owned’ Eatery to ‘Get Out’

A group of Black Lives Matter activists were caught on video harassing and heckling diners at a taqueria in New York City, yelling at them to”get the —- out” and shouting that the “white-owned” establishment was not welcome.

The incident was recorded on a video posted by Andy Ngo just hours after a jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on Tuesday on all three charges in connection with the death of George Floyd last May.

Many major metropolitan areas, including New York City, were on heightened alert for possible unrest after the jury delivered its verdict.

The case sparked months of demonstrations and riots across the United States and inflamed an already impassioned debate about race and the justice system.

In the video, the man egging on the crowd leads them in more chants directed towards the taqueria diners, including “We don’t want your —-ing money!”
