Prior gun charges and deportation orders

He was also a dcps employee.

Wow!

In our school system you can’t chaperone a field trip without getting fingerprinted.

I personally know two undocumented people who works for FCPS despite their background screening system.

I can’t believe how long he got away with his scam. About time for him to be held to account .

Oh, you're right:

Des Moines School Board Chair Jackie Norris told reporters Monday that Roberts had been shortlisted by headhunters who conducted a criminal-background check. “There was nothing in the information that was given to us to allude to any question about his citizenship,” Norris said.

Norris previously served as White House chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama, according to the school board website.

I know Jackie and she is telling the truth. I haven’t talked to her in a decade, but I know her from Lafayette and she’s a very upstanding person who is civic minded to the core. Her husband John ran for governor. They run their family with a military precision, her two oldest are in academies. She isn’t sloppy.

Are you suggesting she's not sloppy but rather a "detail" person who approved his hiring anyway?

Let’s think this through…. Her husband was running for governor and her kids were in the public schools. Do you really think anyone is going to risk the fallout by knowingly hiring someone without a visa/citizenship? It makes no logical sense. She’s going to hire the best person for her kids and also because then she became a teacher in the system.

Also, from a legal standpoint, Trump may demand Obama show a birth certificate, but you can’t racially profile new hires at that level. If they ask such a crazy thing there will be a lawsuit, that they would handily lose.

Does that answer your question? I’m guessing no since you’re out for blood.

Thank you PP. your logic might be too much for MAGA brain but I appreciate this post.

Roberts appears he committed fraud on his I-9. I think that is the basis for Norris’ belief that he was a citizen. One could criticize (and this is just a statement and not out for blood) the Board for not using e-Verify, but for an Iowa city which hires a number of Drake, Iowa State, Northern Iowa grads from the Midwest they may not have seen the need for it. They will use it now.

The problem I have with the Board on the known facts is his deception about a Morgan State PhD. The Board learned of this, and yet inexplicably moved forward. The known judgement issue pertains to his truthfulness on his CV and the Board’s response to it. It is sensible to question the Boards judgement on this score. And to inquire as to what objectives compromised their judgement. My late father founded a 77 office global search firm and he would have never have advised proceeding with a candidate who was not truthful about his education credentials. I heard quite a few stories from him about resume fraud.

Hundreds of millions of American idiots supported the notion of Trump or Biden being leader of the free world in 2020. Most of us are capable of ignoring common sense from time to time. It should be no surprise that random school districts are capable of hiring without proper vetting.

She was sloppy with this situation. Lots of red flags but they still hired him. And she has the audacity to tell the public to practice “radical empathy.” Another example of democrats favoring illegal aliens over citizens.
The board apparently knew he did not have his doctorate before they hired him but hired him anyway. Then, continued to refer to him as “Dr. Roberts.” They lied to the citizens of Des Moines.

How can you believe this? Can you tell me what the red flags were in his file? Can you tell me who he was running against, i.e. who else was on the shortlist.

He sounds like a conman just like Trump. It happens, right?

They conducted the search in secret.

Red flags:

1. Him not having a doctorate but claiming he did and the boars knew it.

2. Settlements that occurred in other districts he left.

Those are outlined in the article in this post:

No, you don’t get to post red flags by some rando blogger. It says in the article, he was here legally when hired. We’re done here. Nothing will convince you. Ironic though since you were also hoodwinked by a charlatan.

You might be done here. I'm not. More and more is coming out about this fraudster every day.
And, since when is Byron York or the Washington Examiner a "rando blogger?"

The article points out how he left two previous districts after very large settlements were paid out to employees that worked under him.

Nowhere does it say he was here legally when hired. In fact, when he came on a student visa in 1999, he was never issued work authorization.

Hopefully, this guy will be charged with the crimes - plural - he committed, tried, convicted, serve his sentence and then deported.

What "public schools" are pushing him so hard? Seriously, hes being made into a boogeyman. Black educated immigrant who has guns and is in public schools. CHECK CHECK CHECK. Republican wet dream. Facts be damned.

To the outsider I can understand why people are claiming dei isn't a thing when things like this happen why are public schools pushing this guy so hard?

USA Today article….

In our school system you can’t chaperone a field trip without getting fingerprinted.

In our local community rec sports league you can’t volunteer coach without a background check.

+1. Same.

Just inconceivable that running for high positions and offices all over doesn’t stop any candidates who should have never been allowed to even to volunteer in a rec league.

This guy has 2 gun charges and lied about his citizenship and degrees but every school district decided to look the other way or give him the chance to correct it. Why did they do that? If you lie it should be immediately disqualified and how did they miss all the criminal charges? Even the quote "took his word" makes you wonder why he was getting special treatment?

I think your comment about racially profiling at that level explains why more vetting want done.
