I’ve quietly enjoyed watching the Des Moines, Iowa public schools’ complete meltdown. The entire country gasped when ICE arrested the superintendent of schools of the district. The superintendent, a former track star, ran from ICE agents and had $3000 cash on him at the time they took him in. That sounds normal for a Midwestern superintendent of schools, right?
A group of readily available protesters even put together a quick vigil for him, until the truth came out. Not only was he in the country illegally, his complete educational and personal history was a lie. The protestors quietly packed up their protest signs and snacks and moved on to the next injustice I suppose.
Anyway, this guy from Guyana was really cool. He had neat suits, did lots of fist bumps with the kids and had some of those really fancy glasses. Unfortunately, he did not have the doctorate degree that he claimed, nor most of the education he claimed. Luckily, Des Moines has broad experience with being really bad at hiring…
