Lawlessness continues to be the order of the day at Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS).
Superintendent Matt Haas—an Alinsky-inspired cultural Marxist—has clearly expressed his Division’s intent to defy Federal Executive Orders on two fronts:
While Haas, backed by his all-Democrat School Board, has made public statements of resistance on both topics, more clandestine efforts are ongoing at ACPS.
Embedded sources at Albemarle High School (AHS) describe a January 30 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) evasion rally conducted on campus and during instructional hours, by an outside attorney.
Unconfirmed reports state that the legal seminar/rally was presented almost entirely in Spanish, to an audience of several dozen “mostly Hispanic” students.
In addition, laminated legal “advice” cards are being distributed at AHS (and perhaps more broadly within ACPS), providing students with language designed to help them avoid engagement with Federal immigration enforcement authorities or their adjuncts:
I do not wish to speak with you, answer your questions, or sign or hand you any documents based on my 5th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution.
I do not give you permission to enter my home based on my 4th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution unless you have a warrant to enter, signed by a judge or magistrate with my name on it that you slide under the door. I do not give you permission to search any of my belongings based on my 4th Amendment rights.
I choose to exercise my constitutional rights.
These cards are available to citizens and noncitizens alike.
Cleverly, “these cards” were adorned by an image of a Monarch Butterfly, which has been widely used as a movement-symbol to indicate “immigrant” rights and non-recognition of international borders.
The Federal Government has threatened to withhold funding from school divisions—like Albemarle County Public Schools—that oppose or subvert Executive Orders. It appears that Haas and his minions “would rather fight than switch.”
Albemarle County taxpayers ultimately may bear the burden of Haas’ obstinance, as such funding is relatively easy to replace.
