Fireovid: Exposing Vermont educators

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

by Robert Fireovid

The Free Press just reported that Mississippi is doing a better job at educating children than other states.  This article includes a chart comparing the trends in NAEP’s (National Assessment of Educational Progress) grade 4 reading scores for Mississippi and Maine. 

Using data from NAEP’s website, here is a chart like the one in TFP’s article, but with data for Vermont as well as Mississippi and Maine.  It appears that the woke states have not been doing a good job lately of educating their children. 

Did you know that much   of Vermont’s public education system – teachers, administrators, education institutions, including the State Agency of Education, and teachers’ colleges – encourage, and mandate in some cases, the widespread practice of DEI and transgenderism in schools? 

Did you also know that most of the public education system in Vermont intends to ignore President Trump’s orders that denies Federal funding to schools which practice and teach DEI and transgenderism? 

To illustrate these points, educators throughout Vermont recently participated in a Zoom meeting, 6 minutes of which were captured by an undercover investigator (Karlyn Borysenko), wherein they declare that they will NOT follow new U.S. Department of Education standards that schools must meet in order to qualify for Federal funding….

Karlyn Borysenko posted another clip from a Zoom meeting where Vermont educators are encouraged to hire based on race and gender.  In other words, Vermont isn’t supposed to hire or promote educators based on merit, at least what most parents and taxpayers consider to be merit.

So, the next question to Vermont taxpayers, and especially to parents, is – “Are you willing to lose all the Federal funding currently supporting public education in Vermont so that schools can continue to divide Americans and students based on race, teach racism/bigotry, advocate for communism, tee up children for a lifetime of physical and emotional harm, and make children LESS educated?”  Assuming your answer is NO, you’d better get busy challenging Vermont’s current collective of woke educators and their woke enablers in the Legislature.

  1. Excellent citation.

    Again, our politicians are failing on every level. Don’t let them forget it. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep pounding away at them. Because we all know they’re going to continue to fail miserably and blame everyone but themselves. Because that’s what they do. It’s what they’ve been doing for several decades. And we know that’s what they’ll continue to do. Just keep reminding everyone to look at the data and ignore the rhetoric.

    And then, on November 3rd, 2026, when their incompetence is on full display, and when only a fool would vote for them again – VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE.

    • Oh i wish but you know Jay most people around here vote based on emotions not logic.

  2. It was apparent that Vermont was going to gaslight the feds and Vermonters by sending ONE letter saying , “ Oh we are following all applicable laws on DEI “ whistling past the graveyard so to speak. These clips that reveal the truth should be forwarded to the DOJ forthwith much as was done in Maine.

  3. Vermont districts not hiring teachers based on merit? Did we ever assume that any teacher in Vermont public schools in the last 50 years was ever hired on merit? It is obvious also that the diplomas handed out are also not based on merit. The VTNEA is a cancer on Vermont’s quality of life and affordability, as are pretty much all public sector unions.

  4. Excellent report, Robert Fireovid! Thank you for exposing this issue!

  5. This article is an eye opener
    “Karlyn Borysenko posted another clip from a Zoom meeting where Vermont educators are encouraged to hire based on race and gender:”
    Makes one believe the VT legislators are being directed / ordered to promote their political position to keep the VT educational system to their liking and not of the kids. This is VT’s future and how can the voters elect these people—just sheer ignorance. This is Communism in the schools. VT is in the gutter demanding money for their programs. Hope the Federal Government sues the hell out of them, the only mechanism to control them.

    I extensively viewed the Zoom web page, and it should be available to all. The taxing authorities can take your property to fund this. This exposes the Liberal controlling mind as I’ve haven’t seen this arm of the Liberal octopus in this detail.

  6. I’m eager to see the fallout from this. It must not escape the DOJ.
