Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. Just when you
Speaker 1: think they can't get any crazier, it does. And so
Speaker 1: we're talking about this story out of column and I
Speaker 1: don't mean to laugh. I'm just truly boggled. I mean,
Speaker 1: almost thirty years on air and can't wrap my mind
Speaker 1: around this one. But the Sean Boyd, who's a superb
Speaker 1: journalist at CBS four, does his story. We're reporting that
Speaker 1: allegedly a teacher at Columbine, helped by administrators, falsely filled
Speaker 1: out a form claiming that a student was homeless, when
Speaker 1: in fact the student had a home and live there
Speaker 1: with their parents. But they filled out this form so
Speaker 1: that the student could move in with the teacher. And
Speaker 1: then the mother found the form and then found the
Speaker 1: mother's as a picture of her daughter kissing the teacher,
Speaker 1: and then goes to the administration. And as far as
Speaker 1: I understand it, we're about to go to the VIP line.
Speaker 1: Welcome Lindsay Detko to the show. Who's been one of
Speaker 1: the most effective grassroots activists that I can remember in Colorado,
Speaker 1: just doing some great, great work in Jeffco and beyond
Speaker 1: jeff Co. Kids. First, is the name of the Umbrella organization, Lindsay,
Speaker 1: you know all the details. I just heard this story
Speaker 1: for the first time, but it sounds to me as
Speaker 1: if out of all of this, nobody got prosecuted and
Speaker 1: nobody got fired. Is that right, that's correct.
Speaker 2: Yep, no firing, no prosecutions. And it wasn't until the
Speaker 2: parents and I went to the commissioner or the state
Speaker 2: commissioner of Education that the license is actually revoked by
Speaker 2: the state and ag tell people.
Speaker 1: The full story. Tell people the full story, please. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, the parents found a note actually that indicated that
Speaker 2: the daughter has been kissing the teacher and seen after
Speaker 2: that discovered on Life three point sixty, which is a
Speaker 2: tracking app for families, that she was at the teacher's home,
Speaker 2: and so she immediately alerted the teacher through text to
Speaker 2: stop communicating with her daughter and did not receive a response.
Speaker 2: They became suspicious because the daughter started talking about others
Speaker 2: involved at the school, and they immediately went to the
Speaker 2: sheriff department, who told them to start documenting everything. The
Speaker 2: very next day, they set an appointment with the principle,
Speaker 2: and the daughter then started saying she was moving in
Speaker 2: with a different teacher, and the parents again contacted the sheriff,
Speaker 2: who told them to request that meeting and lay it
Speaker 2: out with the principle. So they had the two were
Speaker 2: our meeting, and in that meeting, the parents state in
Speaker 2: the investigation that he was aware of the text messages
Speaker 2: that the parents had sent saying stop communication, and they said,
Speaker 2: wasn't that a red flag? And his response was, well,
Speaker 2: this teacher is passionate about helping kids navigate their sexuality.
Speaker 1: Oh my lord, that's what you call it now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what you call it. So the next day
Speaker 2: they discovered the homeless paper work under her bed while
Speaker 2: cleaning her room. Imagine the irony of that. And they
Speaker 2: realized their daughter was slipping through their fingers. And she
Speaker 2: turned eighteen soon master they had a very short window
Speaker 2: of time where she was snatched out of their fingers
Speaker 2: and she graduated. They went to her graduation, they watched her,
Speaker 2: but had no communication with her, had no pictures, just
Speaker 2: the whirlwinds. It wasn't until five months later. Five months
Speaker 2: later and an investigation started and the parents took the
Speaker 2: paperwork to the chief of legal. No, they had to
Speaker 2: alert the chief of legal for jeff Cost Schools. No
Speaker 2: One at the school day basically considered that the child
Speaker 2: was groomed and ran away with the teacher. Those are
Speaker 2: the words of the chief of legal, but that everyone
Speaker 2: was duped. And that's basically how it works, right, because
Speaker 2: now everyone was duped and there's no accountability.
Speaker 3: Cool, Well, that's.
Speaker 1: See. This is as a parent, this is just thinking
Speaker 1: back to both of our kids graduating from high school.
Speaker 1: One of the most heartbreaking stories I've ever heard. And
Speaker 1: now what was this a happy, healthy family before this?
Speaker 1: And because to sit there and not be able to
Speaker 1: take pictures with your kid on graduation day and then
Speaker 1: have a move in with the teacher, because that's the
Speaker 1: allegation here, right, correct.
Speaker 2: Well, what I can tell you is that my heart
Speaker 2: has been broken working with this family for over two
Speaker 2: years now. And what I also can tell you is
Speaker 2: that they went immediately to the sheriff. If you are
Speaker 2: guilty of something that then that it should have been
Speaker 2: reported as re mandated reporting, and they kept pristine documentation.
Speaker 2: You've never seen anything like it in your life. It's
Speaker 2: the only reason we have the news story today is
Speaker 2: because we have this parent who never gave up on
Speaker 2: her child and to ease the grief she's been fighting
Speaker 2: to document, to remove the license of the teacher, and
Speaker 2: to now get this news story on the homeless paper
Speaker 2: work side, which remains unresolved.
Speaker 1: Well, how do we get that resolved? How do we
Speaker 1: get justice within the system done here?
Speaker 2: Well, there's something called the McKinney Vento Homeless Act, and
Speaker 2: if you look on their website, one of the first
Speaker 2: things you'll see is the definition of a homeless and
Speaker 2: unaccompanied youth and what it says. It does not describe
Speaker 2: the child at all.
Speaker 1: And as Sean.
Speaker 2: Boyd will tell you, the school's directly admitted that this
Speaker 2: child did not fit that definition. Along with district policy
Speaker 2: mirrors that McKinney Vento Act and outlines the fact that
Speaker 2: if a parent disputes a homeless label that is given
Speaker 2: to them, then there's an entire process that must be followed. Yet,
Speaker 2: these parents, in our chorus, our open records show that
Speaker 2: there was absolute conspiracy to keep them out of the
Speaker 2: loop by these three employees who orchestrated this paperwork. So
Speaker 2: we have this McKinney VNTO Act Local policy along with
Speaker 2: proof that they were conspiring to keep the parents out
Speaker 2: of this process and all they had was a talking to.
Speaker 2: It appears because they're voicemails and are active at deaf
Speaker 2: cost schools, They're listed on websites and.
Speaker 1: Disc they're all still there.
Speaker 2: They're all still in deaf coost schools.
Speaker 1: Yes, And what does Phil Wiser say? What does the
Speaker 1: DA say? What does the administration say? I mean, is
Speaker 1: this at this point? Is everybody just washing their hands
Speaker 1: and saying this is all okay?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, at the district level they have explicitly stated they
Speaker 2: did all they could. And I do want to say
Speaker 2: that the chief of legal worked for the Colorado Department
Speaker 2: of Education, yet it took the parents and my efforts
Speaker 2: to make sure the license was removed. And I certainly
Speaker 2: don't have the connections she has. And I did write
Speaker 2: a letter that has been getting out there pretty widely,
Speaker 2: and that was sent to the AG's office, and we
Speaker 2: did get a response from that office just yesterday, And
Speaker 2: so we do have hope that we can go and
Speaker 2: outline all of the sexual abuse and misconduct that we
Speaker 2: have documented because we have such a solid network of
Speaker 2: reporting from Jeff within Jeff COO's schools, and so we
Speaker 2: hope that it will open their eyes that they won't
Speaker 2: just shut us out because they don't normally investigate the schools.
Speaker 1: Is that the response from Phil Weiser's office, We don't
Speaker 1: know really investigate the schools.
Speaker 4: That is the response.
Speaker 1: Are they claiming they don't have jurisdiction to investigate the schools.
Speaker 2: They didn't use that word specifically, but they did say
Speaker 2: we don't normally look into school issues basically.
Speaker 1: Now, now, jeffco do the elected officials, etc. And Jeff
Speaker 1: Goo tend to be Republican Democrat a mix.
Speaker 2: As in the Board of Education in.
Speaker 1: General in general, is Jeff co viewed as a Democrat
Speaker 1: or Republican area at this point.
Speaker 2: Democrats Union backed board.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you look at what happened with Jenna Griswold, right,
Speaker 1: and with all of these passwords being posted and the way,
Speaker 1: in my opinion she was treated with kit gloves by
Speaker 1: the Attorney General, and my constitutionally protected opinion is these
Speaker 1: politicized justice and in some ways you can bet if
Speaker 1: that had been a Republican Secretary of State and all
Speaker 1: those whets went up, there would have been a full
Speaker 1: subpoena power driven investigation. And now what you're reporting to us, Lindsay,
Speaker 1: how how in the world? I mean, does anybody doubt
Speaker 1: that if this was a Republican led area that the
Speaker 1: Attorney General would be all over it? That's my question.
Speaker 2: I do know that the outlets that give us a
Speaker 2: voice generally are Republican, are conservative.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Lindsay, let's stay in touch on this, if
Speaker 1: not every day, almost every day. I've seen you accomplish
Speaker 1: amazing things that have benefited many people. And you're very
Speaker 1: wise to have whoever brought Sean Boyd into this story,
Speaker 1: she's one of the best with great credibility. But the
Speaker 1: people involved in this, whatever the truth is, it should
Speaker 1: be fully exposed and the chips need to fall where
Speaker 1: they may. It shouldn't just be continue to be kind
Speaker 1: of swept under the rug.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we've got to get justice. And Dan, you know
Speaker 2: from our pandemic work that we endure.
Speaker 1: You endure and you win, and we get you went.
Speaker 2: And it's already been two and a half years and
Speaker 2: we're not tired yet. Because this family was divided and
Speaker 2: we don't stand for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where can people go to learn more about this online?
Speaker 2: Well, we've got a Facebook group about nearly eight thousand
Speaker 2: local members called jeff co Kids First. Our website is
Speaker 2: jeffco Kids First dot com and feel free to reach
Speaker 2: out to us.
Speaker 1: Wow. Well, great work and let's keep talking about this. Okay,
Speaker 1: this the light must continue to shine here. Great work
Speaker 1: by Lindsay Decker. She truly is one of the best. Hey,
Speaker 1: when we come back, We've got a number of hot
Speaker 1: stories going at the same time, including DPS now suing
Speaker 1: to be able to keep this safe haven for criminals. Ice.
Speaker 1: You can't come in here, criminals, you can't be touched
Speaker 1: in one of our schools. How insane is that You're
Speaker 1: on the Dankapla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast gets crazy?
Speaker 1: Well, when some of this stuff you can't even make up, right,
Speaker 1: I've got to go to some calls. They've been so patient,
Speaker 1: they've held their interesting callers, but I really want to
Speaker 1: fire this. Sean Boyd's story for you off CBS four.
Speaker 1: This Columbine story about a teacher who got together with
Speaker 1: administrators to declare the student homeless, so she could move
Speaker 1: in with the teacher when she wasn't homeless, and then
Speaker 1: you can imagine where it went from there. So I'll
Speaker 1: get back to that in a second. But we're also
Speaker 1: talking about DPS the latest madness. Remember the same people
Speaker 1: who ran the SROs, the police officers out of the schools.
Speaker 1: What could possibly go wrong? Well it did, as you'd expect.
Speaker 1: This same group now saying, hey, criminals safe haven here
Speaker 1: at DPS. You know you're one of those criminals? Isis chasing?
Speaker 1: They can't touch you if you're on our property. That's
Speaker 1: what they want to be able to say. So they've
Speaker 1: sued the Trump administration to try to keep the Trump
Speaker 1: administration from pursuing criminals into schools. I mean, what kind
Speaker 1: of madness is that? Tom, and Denver, you're on the
Speaker 1: dan kaplish'll welcome.
Speaker 6: I guess the problem I have is that Trump's press
Speaker 6: secretary has called anybody that's in this country illegally is
Speaker 6: a criminal needs to be prosecuted and thrown out of.
Speaker 3: The country, and that would include the one the.
Speaker 6: First graders and second graders that happened to be here illegal.
Speaker 1: Tom, May we start with your false premise. If that's
Speaker 1: not discourteous on my part, no, go ahead. But yeah,
Speaker 1: she has not said that. But other than that, you're
Speaker 1: right about everything.
Speaker 3: No, she did say that. She said that if you
Speaker 3: are in this country illegally, you are a criminal.
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, stop there. She said that. The rest of
Speaker 1: what you said, she did not say.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's your whole purpose of your call is
Speaker 1: the false premise that the Trump administration, through Caroline has
Speaker 1: said that, No, that if you're here illegally, you're a criminal,
Speaker 1: which she has said, you committed a crime. But then
Speaker 1: the point of your call is to say, and we're
Speaker 1: going to get you and remove you. She has not
Speaker 1: said that. Trump has not said that. They've said the opposite.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess it's a matter of it is not.
Speaker 1: It is not, it is not. It's a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: and you have your facts wrong.
Speaker 3: I don't believe I do.
Speaker 1: I think you and denials not just a river in Egypt,
Speaker 1: my friend. But let me ask you if, in fact,
Speaker 1: and it is, the Trump administration has said, Okay, we're
Speaker 1: going to go wherever we have to go to find
Speaker 1: people here illegally who've committed serious crimes, and for the
Speaker 1: safety of the public, we're going to follow them wherever
Speaker 1: they go. We're going to get them, We're going to
Speaker 1: get them out of the country. Do you have any
Speaker 1: beef with that?
Speaker 3: No, you're right, Dan, I do not. But let me
Speaker 3: also say I don't know all the school at least
Speaker 3: in any of these districts that allows even a family
Speaker 3: member to walk in the school unaccompanied and without going
Speaker 3: through some security.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there are plenty. But let's assume you're righteous
Speaker 1: for the sake of discussion.
Speaker 5: Tom.
Speaker 1: First of all, would you agree that if DPS gets
Speaker 1: its way and ICE is not allowed into Denver public
Speaker 1: schools to get a criminal, then that's going to magnetize
Speaker 1: the schools for criminals. It's going to tell the criminals
Speaker 1: that that's their safe place to flee to because ICE
Speaker 1: can't touch them there unless ICE has an active warrant.
Speaker 3: I see your point. It's a good point you made,
Speaker 3: But you know, sometimes laws can go too far for
Speaker 3: the detriment of the populace. And in this case, maybe
Speaker 3: the kids that don't have an idea on them and
Speaker 3: why not just grab a few of those.
Speaker 1: But they're not doing that, Tom, there's no evidence they're.
Speaker 3: Doing that to anybody in a school at this point.
Speaker 1: Well, but they're not doing it to anybody anywhere. There's
Speaker 1: no evidence of that happening, you know. And again it's
Speaker 1: the left, Tom, as Homan said, if people like polists
Speaker 1: weren't making it so hard for ICE to be able
Speaker 1: to just pick criminals up out of jails, they wouldn't
Speaker 1: have to go into the community as often.
Speaker 3: Okay, well I agree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tom, appreciate the call, my friend. I'm sure you
Speaker 1: have a very I have no doubt Tom, you have
Speaker 1: a sincere concern for people here illegally who are not
Speaker 1: committing other crimes, and you have a sincere concern for them.
Speaker 1: But all I'm saying is if you have a sincere
Speaker 1: concern for them, and I have a sincere concern for
Speaker 1: them as fellow children of God, and that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: our borders should be open, that doesn't mean the laws
Speaker 1: should be violated. But they are children of God, they
Speaker 1: have important basic human dignity. I have concern for them.
Speaker 1: If you do, too, then you will support what Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is doing and getting criminal illegals out of the country.
Speaker 1: Because criminal illegals so often pray on other illegals who
Speaker 1: are here and not committing other crimes. But yet look
Speaker 1: at what DPS is doing, the same thing Johnston did,
Speaker 1: Police did, all these lefties did. DPS doesn't give a
Speaker 1: damn about your typical illegal immigrant here. They're political pawns
Speaker 1: and they prove that when they lured them up and
Speaker 1: the dangerous trip over the border, et cetera. Their political pawns.
Speaker 1: These Democrats view as future votes. And if you need
Speaker 1: any proof of that, go to at Dan Caplis on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Look at the bill Bennett and Hickelooper are pushing that
Speaker 1: would say ICE can't touch an illegal immigrant at a
Speaker 1: polling place. You doubt that that Bennett and Hickelooper and
Speaker 1: the rest of the left are trying to get these
Speaker 1: people to vote. Look at that bill. They view all
Speaker 1: these people as future votes. If they really cared about
Speaker 1: them as humans, that they would want to get the
Speaker 1: criminal element off the street as quickly as they could.
Speaker 1: But they don't care about the peacefully legal immigrants as humans.
Speaker 1: They just see him as future votes. Say five to
Speaker 1: five or zero five A two five five the number, Chuck,
Speaker 1: you're on the Dan Capitlis show.
Speaker 4: Welcome Speaking about immigration. I've got an interesting situation I
Speaker 4: thought i'd like to share. As far as I can tell,
Speaker 4: the city of Dinniverse has spent several hundred million dollars
Speaker 4: dealing with the illegal immigration issue.
Speaker 5: I work with and now back to the Dan Tampas
Speaker 5: Show podcast, I work.
Speaker 4: With disabled people who are subsitized in order to use
Speaker 4: stuff like Lift and Uber from RTD. The total cost
Speaker 4: of the program is about twelve million dollars and RTD
Speaker 4: is going to gut that program this year. In fact,
Speaker 4: in about two months, and thousands of American disabled people
Speaker 4: are going to be forced to quit their jobs for
Speaker 4: a twelve million dollar cost. So, if you think and Chuck,
Speaker 4: we only have a great.
Speaker 1: Checking, this is an important story. Is this being done
Speaker 1: to funnel more money to support illegal immigrants? At Chuck,
Speaker 1: I'm going to follow up with you on that, and
Speaker 1: we need to track this story down as well. Here
Speaker 1: on the Dent Capital Show.
Speaker 7: Parents in Jefferson County are demanding action after shocking revelations
Speaker 7: about the hiring and oversight failures in local schools. Jeff
Speaker 7: Go Kids First, a parent led group, sent a letter
Speaker 7: to the superintendent and school board urging immediate reforms to
Speaker 7: protect students.
Speaker 1: The letter highlights.
Speaker 7: Disturbing cases, including a middle school liaison with an active
Speaker 7: warrant who was later arrested for allegedly molesting students, and
Speaker 7: a teacher who resigned due to misconduct but was rehired
Speaker 7: at another school without proper vetting. In another case, a
Speaker 7: social worker was accused of sexual assault and remain employed
Speaker 7: despite the complaints. These failures are a part of a
Speaker 7: growing crisis in Colorado, where teacher arrests for sexual crimes
Speaker 7: are rising at an alarming rate that.
Speaker 1: Our friend Heidi ganol And this goes back to a
Speaker 1: point I've been making for years, and then I'll bring
Speaker 1: you to the latest craziness. You won't even believe this story,
Speaker 1: but which is Hey, wait a second, Wait a second.
Speaker 1: This should have been a five alarmed fire, not just
Speaker 1: in jeff Go, but everywhere in Colorado. Teacher sex assaults
Speaker 1: on students should have been a five alarm fire going
Speaker 1: back decades and across party lines. It should have been
Speaker 1: top priority. We should have come together as a people
Speaker 1: to say no more, not on our watch. But what's happened.
Speaker 1: What's happened under Democrat rule. It's become normalized. I mean,
Speaker 1: when you hear this story out of jeffco and I
Speaker 1: bring it back to and listen, I'm so grateful to
Speaker 1: have been born Catholic into a Catholic family, my uncle
Speaker 1: a priest, My Catholic faith has been just this enormously
Speaker 1: important part of my life, and I'm so grateful for that.
Speaker 1: But I look at the relative handful, but one is
Speaker 1: a disaster of priests who engaged in absolutely horrific satanic
Speaker 1: behavior by molesting children. They in no way, shape or
Speaker 1: form represent your typical priest who is a hero. But
Speaker 1: this small number of people engaged in this horrific conduct,
Speaker 1: and it got a lot of public attention, as it
Speaker 1: should have because it was horrific. But for every one
Speaker 1: of those monsters who abuse the priesthood, the sacred priesthood,
Speaker 1: do molested child, You've had thousands of public school teachers
Speaker 1: do it. And because the Left, because you know that's
Speaker 1: the left's big source of dollars and boots on the
Speaker 1: ground and everything else, the Left ho hums it, which
Speaker 1: once again shows the Left doesn't care about these kids
Speaker 1: at all. Whereas the Catholic Church responded to it in
Speaker 1: most instances in full force to protect the flock. So
Speaker 1: you look at that kind trust just as evil, whether
Speaker 1: it's done by one of those handful of awful priests,
Speaker 1: or it's done by a teacher, but done so much
Speaker 1: more often by a teacher. And yet where are the
Speaker 1: big headlines, where's the big story, where's the big attention? No,
Speaker 1: Because the Democrats rely on the Teachers' union for the
Speaker 1: money and the boots on the ground. These kids are sacrificed.
Speaker 1: It's time for that to end. Eight f five zero
Speaker 1: five two five five the number texts DA N five
Speaker 1: seven seven thirty nine. But it's not going to end.
Speaker 1: All the lefties get voted out. They've shown what their
Speaker 1: priorities are. Here's this Sean Boyd's story out of Columbine. Now,
Speaker 1: Columbine's a great school. If you're new to the area,
Speaker 1: it's known for that Heinus shooting. It is a great
Speaker 1: school in so many ways. But if what's being reported
Speaker 1: here is true, that's the opposite of great, and we've
Speaker 1: got to get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 8: Sean Boyd uncovered documents the show's school officials held an
Speaker 8: underage student declare herself homeless so she could move in
Speaker 8: with a teacher Sean Boyd joined us now to talk
Speaker 8: more honest to Sean, she was not homeless, no.
Speaker 9: And the school district admits that those involved knew that,
Speaker 9: yet they helped a student fill out a federal form
Speaker 9: that said she was homeless, then hid it from her
Speaker 9: parents so she could move in with a teacher. And
Speaker 9: that's just the beginning.
Speaker 10: There's like this icky feeling that something's wrong, and then
Speaker 10: as it progressed, it only got worse.
Speaker 9: Heather McCormick says there were red flags at Columbine High
Speaker 9: School long before the school district hired investigators who found
Speaker 9: teacher Leanne Karney had been grooming a female student Cormick
Speaker 9: and his friends with that student's mother, and.
Speaker 10: There wasn't one person who stood up and was like,
Speaker 10: something doesn't seem right and reached out to the parents instead.
Speaker 9: School emails obtained through an open records request show counselors
Speaker 9: purposefully kept the parents in the dark while they helped
Speaker 9: their daughter fill out a federal form declaring herself homeless
Speaker 9: so she could move in with a teacher.
Speaker 10: I think it's really scary that we can take teenagers
Speaker 10: or children of any age and just say whatever you
Speaker 10: say is truth. We're not going to investigate it. We're
Speaker 10: going to take big steps to declare you homeless without
Speaker 10: notifying your.
Speaker 9: Family, Investigators, say principal Scott Christie also knew about the
Speaker 9: girl's plans and didn't tell her parents. McCormick says the
Speaker 9: mom stumbled upon the homeless document while cleaning her daughter's
Speaker 9: room and later found a letter describing her daughter kissing Carney,
Speaker 9: along with.
Speaker 1: Thousands of calls and texts.
Speaker 9: Between the two. She says she sent Carne a message
Speaker 9: warning her it needed to stop, and then took the
Speaker 9: calls and text to the principal, who, she says, dismiss them,
Speaker 9: telling her miss Carney takes interest in helping kids navigate
Speaker 9: their sexuality. Do you think this school would have reacted
Speaker 9: differently had Carney been a male teacher?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 9: Absolutely, Carney quit, but it would take two years and
Speaker 9: pressure from the mom before she lost her teaching license.
Speaker 9: McCormick says her friend lost far more when her daughter
Speaker 9: turned eighteen, she moved out of state.
Speaker 1: The teacher.
Speaker 10: It's really scary to think that there are schools and
Speaker 10: teachers and administrations that are working behind your back, not
Speaker 10: in the best interest of your child.
Speaker 9: Jeffco's school district sent me a statement saying, obviously the
Speaker 9: student did not meet the criteria to be considered homeless,
Speaker 9: and the staff involved in this isolated incident were addressed
Speaker 9: as part of the investigation as the trust channels in
Speaker 9: place were not followed. While we have taken every step
Speaker 9: to remove this former employee from jeff Co and prevent
Speaker 9: her working in another educational setting, we recognize this is
Speaker 9: of little comfort to the family. We deeply regret how
Speaker 9: profoundly this violation has affected the family, and the district
Speaker 9: also says it's changed policies to enjoy Lord.
Speaker 1: It's changing, doesn't happen again. Sean Boyd, great reporting as
Speaker 1: as she always does. This can't be allowed to just
Speaker 1: rest here, right, They've got to be ways within the
Speaker 1: system first to get the full truth, get it to
Speaker 1: the public, name names, and the heartbreak for this family.
Speaker 1: If you weren't with us earlier. Lindsay Dadco jeff Co
Speaker 1: Kids First, who does great work, was telling us that
Speaker 1: the parents, because of everything that happened here, the daughter
Speaker 1: was estranged from them and they went to her high
Speaker 1: school graduation but couldn't even take pictures with her. Had
Speaker 1: to watch from afar. This is a total nightmare. And
Speaker 1: if this sort of thing is being allowed to happen,
Speaker 1: what else is going on? So we got to get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of this. But you know what, it
Speaker 1: all comes back to the tie in to what we're
Speaker 1: talking about with DPS here today. Once again, the political
Speaker 1: arm of DPS administration obviously not caring about the kids.
Speaker 1: You know, they want now to go to court. They're
Speaker 1: going to court to try to reverse the Trump administration
Speaker 1: in order that allows ICE to pursue criminals. Remember, Trump
Speaker 1: administration is after people here illegally who've committed other crimes.
Speaker 1: Trump administration properly says, we'll pursue those criminals wherever they run,
Speaker 1: including schools. DPS says, oh no, they've got to have
Speaker 1: safe haven here. Think about that madness, the same DPS
Speaker 1: political arm that ran off SROs out of schools with
Speaker 1: the predictable outcome. So yeah, that this common denominator of
Speaker 1: just putting kids last. And there's a quick fix for that, right,
Speaker 1: It's a thing that fixes not perfectly, but as best
Speaker 1: we can. Most other things in society, things far less
Speaker 1: precious than our children, and that's competition. So if you
Speaker 1: had true school choice. If parents had the financial power,
Speaker 1: you know, middle and lower income parents had the true
Speaker 1: financial power to send their kids where they wanted to. Well,
Speaker 1: schools that engaged in this kind of garbage, which is
Speaker 1: kind of anti child garbage, they would not survive financially
Speaker 1: because the schools that actually put kids first would be
Speaker 1: the ones chosen by the parents. And that's why you
Speaker 1: have the left fight to the death against the interest
Speaker 1: of kids, fight to the death to stop true school
Speaker 1: choice from happening. Because then again, of course, parents who
Speaker 1: love their children more than anything, right, all of us,
Speaker 1: do you know, then parents are going to choose a
Speaker 1: school that's best for their kid, including safest. So competition
Speaker 1: in education, true school choice would end this nonsense, if
Speaker 1: not completely, end ninety nine percent of it quickly. You
Speaker 1: think dps behaving in this bizarre anti child way would
Speaker 1: survive for a year if there was true school choice, No,
Speaker 1: but it would thrive under true school choice if it
Speaker 1: actually made children the priority. You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 1: To change it, and the only way we can change
Speaker 1: it is for conservatives to win and run the left
Speaker 1: out and to put in place true school choice and power,
Speaker 1: lowering comparents and power middle income parents with financial power
Speaker 1: the ability to choose the best school for their kids.
Speaker 1: And that's when this leftist nonsense sacrificing the kids safety
Speaker 1: for these lefty political fights. You know, all of that
Speaker 1: will die. The day parents across all party lines, Democrat parents,
Speaker 1: Republican parents, and affiliated parents, parents who love their kids
Speaker 1: have the financial power to send their kids to the
Speaker 1: place best for their kids. That's when all this lefty
Speaker 1: nonsense will end. And that's why they fight it so hard.
Speaker 1: That's why the left fights it so hard because they
Speaker 1: know they know at that point game over. Kids win,
Speaker 1: parents win. Across the political spectrum, the left loose uses.
Speaker 1: We we're talking about and we'll be following this story
Speaker 1: every day, we hope. Is this story out of Jeffco
Speaker 1: School District out of Columbine, where Sean Boyd did a
Speaker 1: great job on the piece. We've replayed it several times,
Speaker 1: where the story is that allegedly you had administrators at
Speaker 1: Columbine collaborate with the teacher to falsely claim that a
Speaker 1: student was homeless and fill out a form saying a
Speaker 1: student was homeless when she wasn't. She had a home,
Speaker 1: she had her parents, she had her life, she had
Speaker 1: her bedroom. But those involved in this falsification, according to
Speaker 1: the story, wanted the student to be able to move
Speaker 1: in with the teacher. I know, it's mind blowing, right,
Speaker 1: So you're wondering at this point, Okay, Well, then who
Speaker 1: got prosecuted, what they get convicted of? Who got fired?
Speaker 1: According to the story, nobody got prosecuted, nobody get convicted,
Speaker 1: nobody got fired, and then the poor parents that the
Speaker 1: child moves out the day she terror soon after turning
Speaker 1: eighteen to move in the teacher. It's just a mind
Speaker 1: blowing story. And Sean Boyd did a great job and
Speaker 1: it will continue to follow it. But true school choice
Speaker 1: does allay away with a lot of that garbage. Same
Speaker 1: with the latest stunt from DPS. Remember DPS political administration
Speaker 1: that runs the SROs out of Denver public schools, the
Speaker 1: armed officers, Well, we all knew it was coming next, right,
Speaker 1: and it did. And that same political arm now says,
Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, no. You know criminals people here
Speaker 1: illegally have committed other crimes. That's who Trump's after. They
Speaker 1: should have safe haven in a Denver public school. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to come into a Denver public school
Speaker 1: to apprehend them, and they've just sued to try to
Speaker 1: overturn the Trump administration action. Think about that madness, right,
Speaker 1: Who in the right mind would want to send the
Speaker 1: message to people here illegally have committed other crimes that, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can come to a Denver public school and ice
Speaker 1: won't be able to touch you. Who in the right
Speaker 1: mind would want to be able to send that message.
Speaker 1: Not somebody who's putting kids first. Yeah, just allow true
Speaker 1: school choice and that will end immediately Because DPS could
Speaker 1: thrive with true school choice. It has many wonderful people,
Speaker 1: many wonderful teachers, many wonderful everything. It would thrive under
Speaker 1: true school choice if it decided that it was actually
Speaker 1: going to put kids first, and if it decided to
Speaker 1: continue doing what it's been doing, then yeah, it would
Speaker 1: not do well. Put kids first, that you're going to succeed.
Speaker 1: But for some reason, as a society in so many
Speaker 1: places left is controlled, we don't allow children the benefit
Speaker 1: of competition and education, and so they suffer this way.
Speaker 1: It's just it's got to end. It will end. We
Speaker 1: need attend sooner than later. Texter, So you're continuing to
Speaker 1: push the idea that Bennett, Hick and Looper bill encourages
Speaker 1: illegal aliens to vote, You are a shameless propagandist. I'm
Speaker 1: not pushing that idea. They are go to at dan
Speaker 1: Kaplos Twitter. You can see the bill for yourself at
Speaker 1: dan Caplis on Twitter. Send it to everybody you know.
Speaker 1: My goal is one thousand retweets. We're at eight hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty four. Because Hickenlooper is up for re election
Speaker 1: in Colorado, every Colorado voter needs to know he is
Speaker 1: pushing a bill that would make it illegal for ice
Speaker 1: to detain an illegal immigrant at the voting booths at
Speaker 1: a polling place. So, Texter, why else would you push
Speaker 1: that bill unless you're trying to encourage illegal immigrants to vote?
Speaker 1: How else would you interpret that bill? And the bill
Speaker 1: is real, I can check it out at dan caplis
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Retweet it, let everybody know, and please do
Speaker 1: like it while you're there and follow me as well. Please. Yeah. So, no,
Speaker 1: it's not me pushing the idea that Bennett and Hickenlooper
Speaker 1: are encouraging illegal aliens to vote. It is Bennett and Hickenlooper.
Speaker 1: See it yourself, Dan, I'm a happier human January twentieth, Many,
Speaker 1: many humans are, including a lot of people who did
Speaker 1: not vote for Trump. They may not admit they're happier now,
Speaker 1: but they are. They and both the various school districts
Speaker 1: and the Catholic Church are wrong in the way they
Speaker 1: were are handling abuse cases. Any abuse allegation should be
Speaker 1: handled by the police. Texter, You're wrong there in a
Speaker 1: really fundamental way. There was a time when some in
Speaker 1: Catholic hierarchy did handle the abuse cases wrong, and that
Speaker 1: was wrong, and that's been corrected. And you know, very
Speaker 1: very very rarely now do you hear of any abuse
Speaker 1: of a child within a Catholic church, a Catholic priest, etc.
Speaker 1: One is too many, we need to be perfect on that,
Speaker 1: but very rarely do you hear of that. Now. You
Speaker 1: hear of it all the time in public schools. Look
Speaker 1: at this story out of jeffco and look at the
Speaker 1: administrators alleged to have conspired in it to help facilitate
Speaker 1: this abuse of parental rights. And we hear about these
Speaker 1: sexual abuse of kids in public schools all the time.
Speaker 1: That's not an indictment of teachers as a whole. Teachers
Speaker 1: as a whole are heroes, but it's happening way too often,
Speaker 1: just as it did before, Just as it did before,
Speaker 1: when yeah, you had some priests engage in some horrific
Speaker 1: evil acts that do not reflect on the rest of
Speaker 1: the priesthood at all, the vast majority of priests or heroes.
Speaker 1: But even at that time you had far more children
Speaker 1: being victimized in public schools. No child should be victimized.
Speaker 1: But because the Democrats teach your Union alliance, this abuse
Speaker 1: in public schools has never been the priority it should be.
