The University of Minnesota is reportedly investigating accounts that an education professor ran an “ICE drill” in class. According to Alpha News, Professor Blanca Caldas used her “Culture, Power, and Education” class to have students practice shielding other students from ICE.
The fact that it is a required course for those seeking a degree in elementary education only magnifies the concerns about a professor pressuring students into such a politically charged demonstration.
According to a student, Caldas had students stand up and move to a corner of the room as she acted out the trauma of ICE appearing in the classroom. She allegedly pretended to confront an ICE agent and then joined the students to tell them that they had to use their bodies to shield other students being sought by ICE. Then, “she ended the drill by having us look around our peers and our fellow students within the classroom and identify specifically the people that would appear to be the targets.”
The student objected to the racial element of the drill and said that many felt “uncomfortable,” but “essentially went along,” with Caldas’ instructions, she added.
Caldas’s bio page appears to have been locked from public view. However, College Fix was able to review the page and reported that “her PhD dissertation ‘Performing the Advocate Bilingual Teacher: Drama-based Interventions for Future Story-making’ was given the Activist Research Grant Initiative Award sponsored in part by the Social Justice Institute and the U. Texas at Austin Center for Gender and Women’s Studies.”
If the account is accurate, I would view the demonstration as entirely inappropriate, particularly for a required course. If a professor had held a demonstration in helping ICE agents, there would have been mass demonstrations at the University of Minnesota.
Even if this course is designed for such political demonstrations, the question remains: why was it approved by the department as a required course?
The creature’s Ph.D.: “Performing the Advocate Bilingual Teacher: Drama-based Interventions for Future Story-making”
Translated into English: How to make stuff up. And get away with it by calling your opponents “racists.”
Translated in MAGA-speak, we hate all non-whites in the USA and want to deport and kill them.
Right on que…
Parasites always need a host.
Immigration and Islam are frauds and enemy acts perpetrated against the United States.
Immigration is invasion to conquer.
Islam is not a religion that Americans enjoy a freedom of; Islam is a government with fundamental law and the innate intent to conquer and exercise dominion.
Immigrants and Muslims are direct and mortal enemies of America.
Frauds. Your mind has defrauded you anon.
She is one of the WOKE educators that needs to be giving their walking papers. We have laws against illegal immigration. I guess her field of expertise didn’t include the law.
Fire her, why? Because you don’t like women and Puerto Ricans?
. I’m speechless. Quite a crime.
Definitely a dearth sentence in that.
Her next workshop is how to move to Tijuana to duck out on your student loans.
Only the democrats could turn a paid college degree into a negative asset.
Evil Democrats are now pledging to use the justice system as a weapon of political revenge the millisecond they get back into power. This is indeed a race to the bottom, and the fastest runners are the evil Demon-rats.
Rashad Johnson, of Maple Grove, Minnesota, has just been arrested on child sex trafficking charges.
Police say that this is the most disturbing sex trafficking crime they have ever seen.
He is a Federal employee whose job was to do background checks and security clearances for ICE agents.
This clearly explains why the ICE agents in Minnesota really are just bunch of thugs and hoodlums
He probably used his position to find his accomplices for his criminal enterprises.
ICE is obviously a dream position for sex traffickers.
A position where you get to be armed and masked and have maximum freedom to abuse and drag people out of their cars and homes unquestioned, with no oversight or accountability.
Since we now know that only 14% of people detained by ICE have criminal records, I’d love to know the percentage of ICE agents that have a criminal record
Is ANYONE surprised by this?
^ DNC-paid Troll/Liar. Ignore. ^
QUIT the lies ANON!! The left broke down the crimes by severity- but most ARE criminals!!
Yet 100% are are lawbreakers by definition. Can’t say the words “illegal alien”? makes you sad?
Elections have consequences and we voted to deport ’em all. Don’t like it? I love that you don’t like it.
There’s nothing you can do about it.
It is not true that “only 14% of people detained by ICE have criminal records”. 14% have convictions, in the USA, for crimes of violence. Most of the rest have convictions in other countries, and/or arrests in the USA, and/or convictions for serious crimes that are not crimes of violence, such as sex trafficking.
It is also not true that ICE agents in Minnesota are recent and untrained recruits. They’re officers with many years’ experience.
just let them pickup from sanctuary city jails and the problem solves itself
“Since we now know that only 14% of people detained by ICE have criminal records, I’d love to know the percentage of ICE agents that have a criminal record”
False – even CBS confirmed the percent of CONVICTED deportees is 42%, an additional 28% have pending charges.
ICE is a dream position for Americans who believe in the rule of law.
It’s how we keep our society civil. Have an adult explain it to you.
It’s a dream position for racists and bigots who like to play army and get paid for it.
Were they Racists and bigots when they worked for Biden or Obama ?
Homan was appointed by Obama and given awards by him,
Bovino was hired early under Obama,
Ross and the Pretti shooters were hired by Obama
Lets do the time warp again
Xlax has spoken!
You provided George Svelaz X a flattering name, Xlax. Let’s remember to use it.
“ICE is obviously a dream position for sex traffickers.”
Because ?
“A position where you get to be armed and masked ”
That is called Law Enforcement – do you see the MPD officers arresting ICE protestors ? Full helmets – you can see they eyes – thats all.
“and have maximum freedom to abuse and drag people out of their cars and homes”
Nope. We have one constitution and centuries of 4th amendment law – ICE has fully complied with.
“unquestioned”
Are we “questioning” the MPD officers that arrested 50+ anti-ICE protestors yesterday ?
We do not “question” law enforcement as they do their job.
“with no oversight or accountabilit”
Because you say so ?
They have exactly the same oversight and accountability as every other Federal LEO and more oversight and accountability than your typical state and local officer.
“Rashad Johnson, of Maple Grove, Minnesota,”
Who ?
Most of ICE hs been working there for years, many are democrats,.
So is this a recent hire ? Or somebody Biden hired or Obama ?
“has just been arrested on child sex trafficking charges.”
I do not know MN law – but in my state anything related to sex with a child is a fellony.
The charges here are nearly all misdemeanor charges.
Atleast one MN outlet is not reporting this as child related.
“Police say that this is the most disturbing sex trafficking crime they have ever seen.”
Really ? This is a typical police honey pot phone scam.
There is a FL sherrif that runs these all the time and runs them on youtube.
“He is a Federal employee whose job was to do background checks and security clearances for ICE agents.”
If you say so.
We know nothing about his employment. 90% of federal government employees are democrats.
If Johnson turns out to be a democrat – are you going to back track ?
The only Rashad Johnson I could find as a government employee worked for the VA in 2022 under Biden.
Might not be the same guy,.
“This clearly explains why the ICE agents in Minnesota really are just bunch of thugs and hoodlums”
How so ? look at the list of prominent democrats who have been to epstain Island ?
Recent releases have People like Whoopi begging Epstain AFTER his conviction for a ride on his plane – half the view is in the Epstain files multiple times. Jefferies PERSONALLY solicited donations from him.
Larry Summers – Clintons Sec. Treasurer was REALLY close to Epstain – asking for advice on picking up girls
Pretty sure that a Sec. Treasurer Trumps some ICE employee.
And Bill Mahr notes this week that the media owe Qanon an apology – first “pizzagate” turns out to be true, and next, there really does appear to be a large cabal of deep state democrats in a child sex ring.
“He probably used his position to find his accomplices for his criminal enterprises.”
What are you talking about ?
He was arrested as part of one of these honey pot phone sex lines, he is just one of a number of johns that likely do not even know each other.
Regardless, assuming that there is a real case here – and quite often in these honeypot schemes the charges don’t hold up, but assuming the do – lock the guy up and throw away the key.
If he is actually a Trump hire – which odds are he was not – very little of ICE was hired by Trump, then bad job vetting.
John, the reason you can’t find anything about “Rashad Johnson” is because X misrepresented his name. His name is Brashad Johnson.
According to the reports I’ve seen this fellow did NOT work for ICE, nor even for DHS, and had nothing in particular to do with ICE. He was a contractor for the Department of War, doing background checks for security clearances for all federal agencies. So sure, if ICE needed a check on someone, they’d ask DOW, which might assign it to him or to some other contractor. That’s all.
And no, the police did NOT say that “this is the most disturbing sex trafficking crime they have ever seen”. X just made that up. The local police chief said it was the most disturbing arrest of the operation, out of the 30 arrested, not because the crime was particularly heinous but because of the suspect’s employment. Of course this police chief is in no way qualified to comment on that, it’s just his personal feeling.
