The Week In Woke

A Minnesota "Teacher of the Year" Award Winner has just gotten another award-- an arrest for raping a 14-year-old student.

Abdul Jameel Wright was named Minnesota Teacher of the Year in 2016. That same year, he allegedly began a sexual relationship with a then 14-year-old student that lasted nearly a year; Wright was 30 at the time.

According to a summons filed in Hennepin County District Court late last week, Wright, who is also known as "AB," has been charged with one felony count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a minor age 13 to 15 while in a position of authority.

The allegations against Wright, now 38, surfaced earlier this spring in a public social media post by a woman who accused Wright of "taking a little girls (sic) innocence."

Following the spread of the social media post, St. Louis Park High School sent an internal email to staff stating that a teacher had been placed on leave following allegations of "serious misconduct," and that an investigation was underway. Wright was not named by the school in the email, but was employed as a language arts teacher, according to the school's online staff directory at the time and his LinkedIn bio.

Let's make sure teachers have more "private little chats" about sex and blowjobs and anal with the children they have authority over.

Another woke corporation whose customer base largely leans right is facing a boycott over its DEI and groomer activities under pressure.

The power toolmaker Stanley Black and Decker is the latest firm to face a boycott from conservatives over its diversity-hiring policies and support for LGBTQ causes.

Consumers' Research, an advocacy group, has panned the Connecticut-based firm for picking suppliers based on their race, and funding LGBTQ lobbying in Washington.

The company, which is behind such brands as DeWalt, Black and Decker, and Stanley, joins a growing list of firms to come under pressure from conservatives over policies seen by many as 'woke.'

...

'Companies need to focus on serving their customers, not woke politicians.'

The $24 billion company did not immediately comment on the claims.

The boycott comes at a tough time for the toolmaker, which has seen its stock value sink in recent months, as it shutters plants and distribution hubs in a bid to trim $2 billion in costs and turn a profit.

...

A report from Consumers' Research highlights controversial DEI efforts at the company.

They include policies to increase business with minority suppliers by at least 10 percent by 2025, donations of $10.5 million to 'racial equity' groups, and compulsory 'equity training' sessions for bosses.

It highlights comments from the firm's diversity chief Joe Simms, who has spoken of DEI as an 'unwavering focus' for the firm and one of its 'foundational commitments.'

Executives also teamed up with the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy group, and took part in its 'equality index,' which ranks firms on how friendly they are to gay and transgender staff.

The report includes filings that show the company spent $280,000 on lobbying lawmakers for the Equality Act, which would 'enshrine in federal law that biological males can participate in women's sports.'

The Mail surveyed the company's website and social media channels and found repeated references to its DEI work and support for 'inclusive' workspaces and celebrations of Pride month.

...

In recent weeks, Ford, Lowe's, Coors, Harley-Davidson, Tractor Supply, John Deere and other well-known brands have pulled the plug on their DEI work or their support for LGBTQ causes.

...

Many were pushed into action by the online anti-DEI campaigner Robby Starbuck. Others have faced legal challenges from America First Legal, a group led by former Trump administration officials.

You'll be happy to know that the the leftwing propaganda media is finally taking an interest in the takeovers of apartment buildings by the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragau.

In fact, they're reporting that the other immigrants being extorted/trafficked by Tren de Aragau say it's racist to spread these rumors that their slavers are involved in human trafficking!

Residents at an Aurora apartment complex are speaking out against the narrative that their building is being taken over by a Venezuelan gang -- saying it isn't true.

Tuesday, tenants at the Edge At Lowry apartments held a press conference to dispute claims about gangs taking over the complex ever since viral videos allegedly showing the gang, Tren de Aragua, breaking into apartments have been shared by people all over the world.

Many tenants tell Denver7 they do not believe the gang is present at the complex. They said the most significant problems they've dealt with are the uninhabitable conditions of the building they're living in, a story Denver7 covered a few weeks ago.

One tenant, who is from Venezuela, said he now feels targeted since the rumors began circulating.

Oh perfect, you found an illegal alien from Venezuela to tell us that the "rumors" about these other illegal aliens from Venezuela are all lies told by the White Man.

"I'm scared to go out. They're accusing all of us at the complex of being in gangs, and this is completely false," tenant Oscar Rojas said in Spanish. "It's completely false. There are good people here, families. There's always going to be crime everywhere."

So maybe there's a little organized crime activity here, no big deal! It didn't bother us much in Venezuela, why are you gringos making a big fuss?

I totally trust illegal aliens living in an apartment building taken over by criminal illegal alien gangs when they tell me they're totally okay with the levels of criminality they're seeing, and also, there's no criminality at all.

Oh, and by the way, a second apartment building has been taken over by Tren de Aragau.

But you know, it's a Mostly Peaceful Armed Takeover.

By the way: Tren de Aragua breaks into empty apartments to (illegally) move in other illegal alien Venezuelans. And they demand half of the rent collected by the building's owner for "protection."

So yeah, let's take the word of other illegal aliens in the building uncriticially.

"My building has been taken over by gang members armed with rifles. But what I'm really worried about is the media presenting these gangsters in a negative light."

Guys, I don't think it's the childless AWFLs we should be the most concerned about.

These poor children.

Well, the important thing is your social media clout.

Don't get me wrong -- the childless cat ladies with bizarrely colored hair who fantasize about talking about Gay Pride "kink" displays are also heinous.
