In 2015, Dr. Ben Carson, renowned neurosurgeon and former Secretary of the Health and Human Services Department, and then an aspiring candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, was placed on the SPLC’s “Extremist

Watch List." If I was a thinking person or a reporter who actually sought background information, I might surmise that their involvement here is just the more recent of repeated attempts by political leftists to wrestle local control of our schools away from us. We the people have chosen a more traitional, ACADEMIC-focussed education model, not the marxist indoctrination they offer. And they've thrown every piece of trash at our system, to no avail. First, they organized to accuse good teachers and administrators of "racism." When they couldn't gain headway there, they tried to have the district de-certified. They tried to keep us shut down, depriving the kids of their educational experiences in the name of their leftist politics and "safety," even though SCIENCE showed the decisions being made were the correct ones (personal choice masking showed no higher incidences of covid in this district vs nearby mask mandatory schools). The CCSD has thus far resisted the left's attempt to politicize our schools. Traditional educators are still in charge and succeeding despite this. This SPLC involvement/intervention is nothing but leftists bringing in their big guns with the large financial pockets. The SPLC can hardly put a school district on one of its "lists" so it will just nip away..... death by a thousand paper cuts. This report is sadly lacking in background. And the student involved still had drugs and is going to be punished. Wake up parents, protect our schools from these attacks from the left. Stop politicizing our schools, just let the kids be kids.
