As a Principal, Jamaal Bowman Objected to Teaching About 'White' Figures Like George Washington, Honoring Cop-Killers Instead

As a middle school principal, New York Democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman advised against teaching about "White" historical figures like George Washington, Jesus Christ, and Santa Claus.

While speaking at a 2018 conference hosted by the Alternative Education Resource Organization, Bowman detailed his pedagogy as the principal of the Bronx middle school he founded, Cornerstone Academy for Social Action.

The newly surfaced video comes as Bowman faces an uphill primary campaign against Westchester County executive George Latimer.

The two-term congressman went on to defend his decision to honor McKinney and the Shakurs after the wall became public in February, acknowledging their "Complicated biographies." "It is correct that many leaders in the Black liberation movement have complicated biographies," Bowman spokeswoman Sarah Iddrissu told HuffPost.

Bowman in a 2015 blog post railed against standardized testing, likening the practice to "Modern-day slavery" and "Jim Crow" inequalities.

"Public school high-stakes standardized testing is a form of modern-day slavery, and it is designed to continue the proliferation of inequality," Bowman wrote.

"We're testing too darn much," Bowman said in an October interview touting the bill with the Human Restoration Project.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

  Multiple U.S. states governed by Republicans are withdrawing state funds from BlackRock's management, as they disapprove of the ESG investment policies of the world's top asset manager, the Financial Times reports.

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
