Dr. Naveed Baqir was allowed time by Christina Board President Dr. Donald Patton during his President’s Report to give a public statement to explain things. He didn’t really explain anything we didn’t already knew. There was one point where I (shudder) actually agreed with him. Here is his statement and my thoughts on each paragraph.… Read more

While I don’t usually get to write news about myself, this one demanded it. I signed up for public comment on two subjects, Wilmington Schools and Board Elections. Christina Board President and Alethea Smith-Tucker unilaterally decided to deny my public comment.

Since January, Christina Board of Education member Dr. Naveed Baqir has been residing in Pakistan, his home country. The reasons for this are multiple. Some are old and some are new, but they help to explain why he isn’t her. When Baqir left the USA for his homeland, the number one reason he gave people… Read more

During the pandemic, everything was shut down. Dr. Naveed Baqir and his wife, Dr. Amna Latif immediately found a way to make immense amounts of money out of it. In March of 2020, when Delaware Governor John Carney shut down the state of Delaware, the Tarbiyah School applied for grants from the US Department of… Read more

Yesterday I received an email about Dr. Naveed Baqir. It addressed many matters, and if it is true, it could explain a lot. But there are certain things I need to vet before I bring them to light. The biggest thing the email suggested was that Dr. Amna Latif is not responsible for any of… Read more

My post yesterday was a worst-case apocalyptic end-game scenario. I understand many folks began to worry about their jobs. I apologize for any panic I may have caused. I used to write those kinds of posts on this blog many times in the mid to late 2010s. Sometimes those things did happen and sometimes they… Read more

Since I came out with my post the other day about a possible state takeover of the Christina School District, many have said it can’t be done. There is more than one way to skin a cat. Spoiler alert if you have never seen the 1991 movie, Thelma & Louise. It ends with the two… Read more

Sarah Mueller with WHYY came out with an article today about Dr. Naveed Baqir that basically condensed what I have written in the past month with some illuminating new information. She did not get into anything about the false address he used when he ran for the Christina school board in 2021. While she touched… Read more

In all the talk since my last blog post, no one is really touching on one aspect that has already been documented on Christina’s original agenda. It is a fact Delaware Secretary of Education Dr. Mark Holodick is making a presentation to the Christina Board of Education on August 13th, a week from today. What… Read more

In searching for an updated agenda for Christina School District’s Board of Education I noticed they have taken off the agenda from their June General Business board meeting. This would include the minutes from their May board meeting. What are they trying to hide now? The May meeting was what drove many legislators to create… Read more

I should have seen it coming. But I thought, no, they wouldn’t make it that obvious. It’s coming. They had to get rid of Shelton to make it happen. They had to make the board look like complete fools. And Patton, Baqir, Smith-Tucker, and Lou fulfilled their roles with Oscar-winning caliber. At the next Christina… Read more

Over the weekend that never seemed to end, I wrote a couple posts concerning Christina Board of Education member YF Lou. These posts concerned his proposal for an Asian charter school within Christina School District. From there, my weekend blew up with all things YF Lou. In response to my post, he (rightly) corrected me… Read more

Yesterday, I posted an article about YF Lou and his desire for an Asian charter school within Christina School District. YF Lou actually commented on the post and explained that it isn’t a Chinese charter school but an Asian one. It sounds like it didn’t gain a lot of traction. But the rest of YF’s… Read more
