Miami-Dade County Public Schools: A Cesspool of Corruption

*JOSE DOTRES HAS BEEN APPOINTED ON 02/11/2022*

UPDATE BLOG COMING SOON

Alberto Carvalho has been destroying Miami-Dade County Public Schools since he was appointed in 2008. Toting his bachelor's degree he earned in biology from Barry University, Carvalho has successfully implemented substandard public education ruled by politics. 

Carvalho has faced multiple scandals that were barely reported on by our local news. All the while he's continued to sit as a head fool to our public education system. 

Left-wing indoctrination & introduction of our children to Islamic radicalization are just some of Carvalho's highlight accomplishments for our children to prosper from. 

It was loud & clear who United Teachers of Dade supported for Presidency during our 2020 elections. United Teachers of Dade had BIDEN/HARRIS sign's covering every inch of their headquarters building across from Miami International Airport. There should be no place for politics in any public educational system, yet we have witnessed it during Carvalho's tenure. 

Carvalho has failed to provide educational access to our children during the COVID pandemic because of cyber attacks from a 16-year-old high school student. Instead of ensuring quality education & cyber safety Carvalho profited from his Foundation "Give Our Students The World" which received a $1.6 million kickback from contracting the K12 platform that was taken down simply by a teenager. 

United Teachers of Dade president Karla Hernandez-Mats was arrested at the Captial during a protest in 2017 that helped elevate her "social justice" status by putting politics ahead of our children's education.

MDCPS Employees:
Wall of Shame

Alberto Carvalho has failed to protect students from school staff sexually & physically abusing children. Over the past few years, numerous teachers & school staff have been arrested. Further making a mockery of our school system. Why is this continuing to happen? What happened to the moral & ethical standards in Miami-Dade County Public Schools? This is an absolute failure in providing a safe environment for our children. Instead, they are preyed upon by these depraved employees in our education system overseen by Carvalho.

Let's take a look at some of the gold-star employees of MDCPS & the atrocities that happen in our children's education system.
