School District Settles with Coach Fired
for Objecting to Critical Race Theory
David Flynn has been a devotee of Dedham Massachusetts High School his whole life. As a student,
he led the football team to a championship, then became the assistant football coach for four years,
and eventually took the role of head coach in 2011.
However, he was abruptly fired in 2021 after exercising his right as a parent-citizen to raise concerns
about critical race theory and Black Lives Matter propaganda in his daughter’s seventh-grade history class.
We took his case, and we’re pleased to announce that he settled his civil rights lawsuit against his former
employers at Dedham Public Schools.
“The past two years have been difficult for me and my family. I thank my family, friends, and everyone else
who reached out for their continued support,” said Coach Flynn. “With Judicial Watch’s help, I can move on
from this challenging situation knowing that by raising my concerns through the appropriate channels I made
a difference for the students and families of Dedham Public Schools. I hope other parents can learn from this
and not back down from fighting for what is best for their families.”
As part of the settlement, the Superintendent of Dedham Public Schools, Michael Welch, acknowledged
“the important and valid issues” raised by Flynn and specific changes in school policies because of Flynn’s
complaint, including banning teachers from promoting Black Lives Matter to students online.
The Superintendent’s acknowledgment is the result of a February 2021 lawsuit filed in the
United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the superintendent, high school principal,
and high school athletic director for retaliating against Flynn for exercising his First Amendment rights
(Flynn v. Forrest et al. (No. 21-cv-10256)).
The superintendent wrote in the letter that Flynn’s concerns were valid and that the school district is
amicable to the settlement:
Quote:Dear Dave,
I hope you and your family are well. I am writing this letter to acknowledge
the important and valid issues you raised regarding the Dedham Public Schools
and the subsequent lawsuit you filed in federal court. I am pleased that we are
able to amicably settle this matter after the recently filed appeal of the court’s decision.
First and foremost, I want to acknowledge and validate the concerns you initially
raised regarding your daughter’s experiences at Dedham Middle School. You had
every right to inquire about these issues, and you followed the appropriate steps in
attempting to learn more. You correctly pointed out that the 7th grade social studies
curriculum had significantly changed and parents were not informed of these changes.
In probing this matter further, you discovered that the district’s website did not
accurately reflect the new curriculum content, and parents were unable to understand
what was being taught. Your legitimate questions prompted additional conversations
at the School Committee level that ultimately led to the establishment of a
Curriculum Advisory Committee that now brings together parents, community members,
and district educators to broadly review and more thoroughly communicate curriculum
changes and concerns. Curriculum updates are a necessary and important part of the
work of school districts, and effectively communicating these improvements is a
critical component of this process.
Your initial inquiry triggered a larger internal conversation about the district’s oversight
in the teaching of these new curriculum units. More specifically, the sequencing of the
curriculum’s identity unit and the virtual use of a Black Lives Matter emoji t-shirt by a
teacher sparked a series of intense conversations about teacher autonomy and the
importance of balanced messaging and viewpoints in the classroom. As you pointed
out, positive intentions can often have unintended negative impacts on students.
Ultimately, I directed staff to remove these t-shirt emojis and instructed them to
not wear these in the classroom in the future.
Finally, I understand that after you raised these concerns at the classroom level,
you left that initial conversation expecting to hear directly from the building principal.
It appears this was unclear within the school and you did not hear back in a timely
manner. I am sorry for this breakdown. Effective two-way dialogue among parents
and school staff is the foundation of mutual trust. While we pride ourselves on this
connection, in this particular instance this fueled frustration and identified room
for improvement.
I regret that these initial justifiable concerns ultimately led to where we are today.
As you have indicated, I appreciate your recognition of the opportunity to have
improved the trajectory of this sequence. With this settlement, I hope we are able
to put any divisions behind us and begin the important work of healing through
better conversations and listening.
I recognize the school district's opportunity to improve based upon the issues you
have identified, and I thank you for raising them. As educators, I believe we can
always learn from our experiences. Thank you for your many years of dedicated
commitment to the development of student-athletes in Dedham.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Welch
Superintendent
This is a remarkable victory for Coach Flynn, as his federal civil rights lawsuit resulted in the Dedham School District
admitting that he was absolutely right to be concerned about the district introducing a new, controversial CRT-style
curriculum without parental notice or involvement. And Coach Flynn also appreciates that the teachers will no longer
be able to use virtual learning to push Black Lives Matter symbols. It shouldn’t have taken a federal civil rights lawsuit
for the school district to do the right thing. We hope other school officials take note that they must treat parental
curriculum concerns with respect and avoid radical indoctrination of children.
Our lawsuits and FOIA requests on critical race theory
and other leftist extremism are extensive:
Earlier this month, we sued on behalf of a Minneapolis taxpayer
over a teachers’ contract that provides discriminatory job
protections to certain racial minorities. The lawsuit was filed
against the superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools,
the Minneapolis Public Schools, and the Minneapolis Board of
Education for violating the Equal Protection Guarantee of the
Minnesota Constitution.
In July 2022 we sued the U.S. Department of Defense for records
related to the United States Naval Academy implementing
critical race theory in the training of naval recruits.
Records produced in April 2022 from the National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA) show the government agency responsible
for regulating credit unions required “inclusion and unconscious
bias training” for the agency’s employees and contractors and
offered advice on how to recognize and address alleged
“microaggressions” in the workplace.
Records produced in February 2022 from the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) included a PowerPoint presentation titled
“Race and gender based microaggressions” that was used for
training at the organization.
Two sets of records we obtained in November 2021 related to the
teaching of critical race theory in Montgomery County Public Schools
(MCPS), Maryland’s largest school system, included a training
course with information about a book titled “Antiracist Baby” that
introduces the youngest readers to “the concept and power of antiracism,”
and says it’s the “perfect gift” for “ages baby to age 3.”
Records from Loudoun County, VA, obtained in October 2021 revealed
a coordinated effort to advance critical race theory initiatives in
Loudoun County public schools despite widespread public opposition.
A training document provided to us in October 2021 by a whistleblower
in the Westerly School District of Rhode Island, details how its schools
are using teachers to push critical race theory in classrooms. The training
course was assembled by the left-leaning Highlander Institute and cites
quotes from Bettina Love, from whom the Biden administration distanced
itself publicly after her statements equating “whiteness” to oppression.
Records produced in June 2021 by Wellesley Public Schools in Massachusetts
confirmed the use of “affinity spaces” that divide students and staff based
on race as a priority and objective of the school district’s “diversity, equity
and inclusion” plan. The school district also admitted that between
September 1, 2020, and May 17, 2021, it created “five distinct” segregated spaces.
Heavily redacted records we obtained in May 2021 from Montgomery County
Public Schools (MCPS) in Maryland included documents related to their $454,000
“Anti-racist system audit” and critical race theory classes. Students were taught
that the phrase “Make America Great Again” was an example of
“covert white supremacy.”

Why Gen. Mark Milley Should Be Court-Martialed
Chris Farrell, our Director of Investigations & Research and a former U.S. Army intelligence officer,
has identified the most egregious examples of treasonous subversion by a commissioned officer since
Benedict Arnold. And that officer currently is at the top of the military hierarchy, no less. Here is Chris’
report in The Washington Times.
Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, should be
subject to an Article 32 Hearing under the provisions of the Uniform
Code of Military Justice for his conduct and statements as memorialized
in the Bob Woodward book “Peril,” and the Aug. 8, 2022, New Yorker
magazine excerpt of a forthcoming book by Susan B. Glasser and Peter Baker.
An Article 32 Hearing is the military equivalent of a civilian grand jury,
and should probable cause of the commission of a crime be established,
it would lead to Gen. Milley’s court-martial. The Army has an affirmative
duty to maintain good order and discipline, especially with regard to
senior leader misconduct.
History provides an example of a senior officer engaged in misconduct.
Assistant Chief of the Army Air Service Brig. Gen. Billy Mitchell was
court-martialed in 1925 for remarks to the press concerning two deadly
military aviation accidents.
Mitchell made the following offending statements: “These incidents are
the direct result of the incompetency, criminal negligence and almost
treasonable administration of the national defense by the Navy and
War Departments,” and “The bodies of my former companions in the air
molder under the soil in America, and Asia, Europe and Africa, many,
yes a great many, sent there directly by official stupidity.”
On Dec. 17, 1925, Mitchell was found guilty of “conduct of a nature to
bring discredit upon the military service.” The court suspended Mitchell
from rank, command, and duty, with the forfeiture of all pay and allowances
for five years. Mitchell resigned from his commission as an Army officer
on Feb. 1, 1926. Some would say that history vindicated Mitchell, with
the coming of World War II. Nonetheless, Mitchell paid the price for press
statements outside the scope of his authority and for his insubordination.
Gen. Milley called his communist Chinese military counterpart in October 2020
and January 2021 with unauthorized promises and assurances of advanced
warnings of U.S. military intentions and actions. America learned of these
contacts through the book “Peril,” authored by Mr. Woodward and Robert Costa.
In the book, Gen. Milley is quoted as saying, “General Li, I want to assure
you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be OK.
We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you.”
And then, reportedly, Gen. Milley said this: “General Li, you and I have known
each other for five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead
of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”
Gen. Milley admitted to making the calls. A spokesman for Gen. Milley stated
that Gen. Milley acted within his authority as the senior military adviser to
the president and the secretary of defense, yet Gen. Milley failed to consult
any civilian authority, a fact confirmed by Christopher Miller, the former acting
secretary of defense, and by former President Donald Trump.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a graduate of West Point and an
Army officer, as well as a lawyer, congressman and former director of the CIA,
described Gen. Milley’s actions: “If you had a senior military leader, who is
simply an adviser, tell the Chinese Communist Party that they would get notice
of an attack, this rivals anything we’ve seen in our nation’s history.”
Mr. Woodward and Mr. Costa “obtained” a copy of a call transcript between
Gen. Milley and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi concerning Mr. Trump and
nuclear weapons. The book provides detailed quotes from both Gen. Milley
and Mrs. Pelosi. In one exchange, Mrs. Pelosi at length attacks Mr. Trump,
saying “they couldn’t even stop him from an assault on the Capitol,”
and that “he’s crazy. You know he’s crazy. He’s been crazy for a long time.”
“So don’t say you don’t know what his state of mind is. He’s crazy and what
he did yesterday is further evidence of his craziness.
But anyway, I appreciate what you said.”
Gen. Milley responds to Mrs. Pelosi, “Madam Speaker,
I agree with you on everything.”
Gen. Milley obviously cooperated in some manner with Mr. Woodward.
Freedom of Information Act requests for call transcripts were stonewalled
by the Pentagon. Gen. Milley is hiding the information from the American
people and forcing a current lawsuit in federal court to compel him to
release information he selectively leaked to friendly reporters.
Mr. Baker and Ms. Glasser make clear that Gen. Milley loathed Mr. Trump
and was grossly insubordinate. The authors quote Gen. Milley saying,
“F—- that s—-, I’ll just fight him” [President Trump], and, “If they want to
court-martial me, or put me in prison, have at it. But I will fight from the
inside.” A general “fighting from the inside” against the president is the
very definition of subversion.
Gen. Milley must be held to account for his conduct and selectively leaked
statements. His conduct goes far beyond the controversy of the Mitchell
court-martial. Mitchell pales by comparison. His reported actions, if true,
are the most egregious examples of treasonous subversion by a commissioned
officer of the United States since Maj. Gen. Benedict Arnold.

Hundreds of Adult Migrants Pose as Minors to Dodge Deportation
The Biden administration’s border crisis makes a mockery of the rule of law.
If the administration doesn’t follow the law, why would a foreign national trying to
game our immigration system? Our Corruption Chronicles blog has the details.
As if the crisis along the southern border were not bad enough, adult illegal immigrants
are posing as minors to enter—and stay in—the U.S. since typically those under 18 are
welcomed with open arms. The government refers to them as Unaccompanied Alien
Children (UAC) and hundreds of thousands have entered the country in the last few
years. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is charged with caring
for illegal aliens under the age of 18 and the agency spends millions of dollars annually
to house, medically treat, entertain, and school UAC who come mainly from Central America.
Undoubtedly, illegal immigrant minors are almost always allowed to remain in the U.S.
and quickly disbursed to a government-funded shelter upon arrival at the border.
The special treatment has led to even more criminal behavior by those already breaking
the law entering the U.S. illegally. In El Paso alone, Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
confirms that more than 655 adult migrants posing as minors have been busted in fiscal
year 2022. This week the agency announced that the El Paso Sector has recently seen an
unusual amount of activity involving adults posing as minors to dodge deportation. In one
of the incidents agents identified 10 adults posting as UAC while in custody. CBP has a
limited time to transfer UAC to HHS custody once the illegal border crossers are vetted
and there begins the journey to stay in the U.S. Bigger criminal enterprises are behind
the imposter plots, according to federal authorities. “Transnational Criminal Organizations
exploit migrants convincing them to pose as minors in order to be processed as such”
said El Paso Sector Border Patrol Chief Gloria I. Chavez. “Identity fraud is a common tactic
used by TCOs to take advantage of migrants who do not know the legal consequences of
their actions as they attempt to deceive authorities.”
The frontline Homeland Security agency says three adults posing as minors were also
discovered recently using counterfeit documentation at the El Paso Sector Central Processing
Center in Texas. The illegal immigrants, a 21-year-old female, 22-year-old female and
22-year-old male, are from Guatemala and were part of a group of 13 apprehended by
federal agents in the area. “The three were encountered, along with nine unaccompanied
children from Guatemala and one adult,” CBP writes in a statement. “These individuals
pose as minors in order to avoid expulsion.” In a separate incident this month three males
from Guatemala, ages 18, 25 and 26, intentionally posed as minors to remain in the
U.S. Federal agents detected discrepancies between their stories and documentation
presented in their failed attempt to pass as minors.
In yet another incident made public this month, CBP officers at El Paso’s Ysleta Station,
which is responsible for 16.7 miles of the international boundary along the Rio Grande River,
discovered a group of what appeared to be eight minors later determined to be from
Guatemala crossing the border illegally. Two of the illegal immigrants pretending to be
underage turned out to be imposters, according to the feds. One was a 22-year-old male
and the other a 19-year-old female. As in the other cases, agents, though overwhelmed
with an onslaught of illegal immigration, detected discrepancies during interviews. CBP
warns that individuals who attempt to pose as unaccompanied children may face charges
under American laws that prohibit false statements to federal agents and conspiracy to
defraud the U.S.
The last thing the country’s disastrous immigration system needs is more UAC. American
taxpayers already spend a fortune to accommodate them through HHS’s Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR), which funds and oversees dozens of state-licensed care facilities to
house the young migrants when they arrive in the U.S. In fiscal year 2021 ORR housed an
unprecedented 122,731 UAC, according to government figures, and this year’s budget is
a whopping $8.76 billion. HHS projects that in 2022 it will accommodate approximately
149,000 and between 500 and 600 daily for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends
in September. Last year the overwhelming majority of illegal immigrant minors in U.S. custody,
approximately 72%, were over 14 years of age and 66% were male. Nearly half (47%) of
the underage migrants came from Guatemala, 32% from Honduras, 13% from El Salvador
and 8% from other countries.
