On Monday, a North Carolina dad spoke at a local school board meeting urging parents to "take the wheel back" in their children education, and commended the school board for passing a resolution last summer that banned critical race theory teachings in the district.
Brian Echevarria is running for District 73 in the North Carolina House of Representatives, and one of the main tenets of his campaign is to stop critical race theory indoctrination in schools and the reinstitution of parental rights as regards the "upbringing and education of their children."
"One of the things I wanted to thank you for tonight was the resolution, the nondiscrimination resolution, the CRT deal, because it’s happening, and as a parent, I speak to other parents, there's a few things that we don't want," he said, noting a resolution that was passed by the board over the summer.
“What the masks showed us, the parents, the most powerful group in the country, is that we are taking back the wheel.”

In July, the Cabarrus County Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a resolution that would ensure dignity and nondiscrimination in the district. That resolution in part encompassed the blocking of teaching of critical race theory in the district’s schools.
The resolution promoted not teaching that one race is or sex is inherently superior to another; "That an individual, solely by virtue of his or her race or sex, is not inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive"; and that "That no individual, solely by virtue of his or her race or sex, should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress," among other topics.
"I’m biracial. I'm bilingual and multicultural. The fact is in America and North Carolina, I can do anything I want, and I teach that to my children. And the person who tells my little pecan colored kids that they're somehow oppressed based on the color of their skin would be absolutely wrong and absolutely at war with me," said Echevarria.
"And I think that's the same for every parent. What the masks showed us is that the parents, the most powerful group of people in our country, that they're taking back the wheel," he added.
Echevarria continued on to state that while the parents "obviously" had to "take the wheel back" in regards to masks, they are now "taking the wheel back from Washington, all the way to Raleigh and into our local school board because CRT, all of that, the parents don’t want it."
"It’s a big fat lie," he added. "If you believe in CRT, I want to tell you, you're a liar.Because that means you look at your black neighbor and say that they're oppressed, and you look at your white neighbor and say that they're evil, regardless of the experience that you had with them. And we're not going to do that."
"The parents in the United States of America, right here in North Carolina, and Cabarrus County, we know that's not true because we believe the lives we live," he said. "The fact is, I've been a business owner right here in North Carolina, and I deal with white people, black people, Hispanic people, my children deal with everybody and the racism is only happening at the government level and on the media."
Echevarria noted that a person would be hard pressed to find racists in real life, and you only hear stories about in. He continued on to take aim at policies that put transgender identified biological males in competition with women and girls, saying he doesn’t want his daughter competing against a man.
"I have an eight year old daughter who is absolutely dynamic, who can do anything athletically, intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally. She is a dynamo. And I don't want a man swimming against her in the pool," he said.
"The fact is, I don't want her playing against boys in soccer. I don't even let my son's rough her up. Do you think I'm going to let your son rough her up?" said Echevarria.
"This is what we're talking about. Policy going back to the parents. Because if you think people who love America are willing to fight for it. You haven't met parents yet? Because I'm telling you parents will go further down any street than anyone who loves their country alone," he concluded.
54 current, former CHP officer from East LA station charged in alleged overtime fraud scheme
Friday, February 18, 2022 1:40AM
EAST LOS ANGELES – Dozens of current and former Highway Patrol officers have been charged with racking up more than $226,000 in phony hours in an overtime fraud scheme, California's attorney general said.
The charges announced Thursday stem from a criminal investigation of officers in the East Los Angeles station.
Between 2016 and mid-2018, 54 officers recorded hours of phony overtime while patrolling high-occupancy traffic lanes or providing protection to state transportation workers in construction zones, prosecutors said.
"The alleged offenses were not discovered earlier because the supervisors who would have been the ones to report these activities were also committing the fraud," according to a felony complaint against two of the officers. "Moreover, the fraud typically took place during graveyard hours, which was outside of the normal working hours of office managers."
Of the 54 officers charged, 11 are still employed by the agency, the highway patrol said.
Officers who are still with the agency and under investigation by the Department of Justice have been placed on administrative time off and had their peace officer powers removed, said Officer Jose Barrios, a department spokesman.
"As a professional law enforcement agency which holds it employees to the highest of standards, the CHP takes all allegations of misconduct seriously," Barrios said in a statement. "The CHP uncovered the overtime fraud in the East Los Angeles area several years ago during an internal examination."
The highway patrol would have no further comment amid the investigation and pending litigation, Barrios said.
Charges were filed earlier this month and the officers were booked by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department this week, according to a statement from the attorney general's office.
"Trust is a critical part of successful law enforcement," Attorney General Rob Bonta said in the statement. "These defendants disregarded the law through their alleged actions and did so without thought of how their conduct would impact the California Highway Patrol or the community that trusted them to protect and serve."
The highway patrol said in early 2019 that it had temporarily relieved "dozens" of officers from duty while it investigated whether they had billed the state for hundreds of hours of suspected bogus overtime costing about $360,000, according to news accounts at the time. They said at the time that the abuse seemed to be isolated to officers covering the Los Angeles area and the agency had changed its overtime practices in response.
