“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
Joe Biden can’t even get in his presidential SUV. Where is DOCTOR Jill Biden? This is elder abuse. Imagine how bad he actually is behind closed doors. We only see him in public for an hour a day, at most. pic.twitter.com/uhIqDodXio
Biden, springing off a George Floyd reference, asks Morehouse grads, "What is democracy if black men are being killed in the street?"https://t.co/y9w7eHtWaR

There's time to change their mind but my sources say that would be a deviation from the current plan.https://t.co/cqycvEQZHv

Since the school board had not yet voted to officially eliminate the position, a few people took issue with my story. Some said I was wrong, some said I was lying and spreading “fake news.” Ultimately, as I said in the original story, they were arguing semantics. My sources were clear … the current DEI officer was being moved to a new job and there were no plans to ever fund or fill that position again in the district. It was eliminated. Arguing over whether the position was permanently vacant or if a vote officially eliminated it was silly and petty. The DEI position at PHM was no more.
The PHM board’s dislike of me is well-known. This led to one of my sources saying that they’d probably keep the DEI officer position around just to make me look bad after the story was published. I also joked about this on social media.
Then the proposed changes to PHM student handbooks came out.
DEI was being stripped from the student handbooks in PHM. If PHM wasn’t eliminating the DEI officer position, this would be an odd development. Instead, the changes to the handbooks further confirmed my exclusive story was correct.
Then today:
On May 20, 2024, Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Jerry Thacker confirmed my story was correct by saying: “We have no intention of filling that position.”
Dr. Thacker’s response was to Board of Trustees member Matt Chaffee’s direct question about that position being eliminated.
This was true in April, but every doubt has now been eliminated … just like the DEI officer position. The board voted to remove DEI from the student handbooks later that evening.
This does not mean the principles of DEI are going away. They will always be around but DEI is on the retreat … at least in an official capacity. This is something that would have been celebrated by nearly everyone just a few short months ago.
This is a very big deal and I can’t wait to see the local media coverage of it. Especially since the media has recently taken a newfound interest in PHM school board issues. So much so, that the board set seats aside for local media to attend the meetings.
