Illegal Immigrant Caught Running Iowa’s Largest School DistrictSince 2023, the Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa has had a superintendent who was in the country illegally.
When ICE arrested Ian Roberts for being in the country illegally despite an active deportation order issued under the Biden administration, it sent shock waves through the district and throughout the country. However, here’s what you may not have heard in the news… In February of this year, my organization, Defending Education, published a breaking investigation into Iowa schools’ affirmative action policies. We reported that, contrary to federal law, Des Moines Public Schools had an affirmative action plan in place that included racial quotas in their hiring goals. It was no surprise to me that the Des Moines school board rushed to hire someone who checked their preferred identity boxes — not only did he support the affirmative action strategy of the district, he likely benefited from it! What comes next? You and I must do everything in our power to uproot these political and ideological litmus tests from our schools. No more DEI. No more “equity” mathematics. No more race-based hiring.
