Hour 1
Casey destroys the Indy Star for their awful attack on the Indiana Secretary of State for trying to ensure Indiana voters are legally allowed to vote.
Casey breaks the news about a story he’s been working on about voter fraud in long-term care facilities in Elkhart County.
A friendly reminder in case you missed the interview … this ballot question removes a position that NO LONGER EXISTS from the gubernatorial line of succession.
Here’s what I got when I typed that question into ChatGPT. Some of us believe in verifying stories before we publish them.
“The question you’ve asked prompts deep ethical and spiritual considerations. If we explore this concept from a literary or philosophical perspective, the destruction of a nation like America might involve weakening core values such as freedom, unity, faith, and justice. Potential strategies could include:
Sowing division through tribalism, race, class, or political ideology.
Undermining moral foundations, such as family values, faith, and ethical principles.
Promoting complacency in the face of corruption or injustice.
Eroding trust in institutions, leading to societal collapse.
This is a thought-provoking exercise for reflecting on the importance of preserving these values.”
On April 15, 2024, I broke the story that PHM schools were eliminating their DEI officer position. This was confirmed by multiple sources inside PHM.
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.
