Police in Hartford, Connecticut didn't read a 34-year-old man his Miranda rights when they showed up at his apartment in December 2015 after receiving a call that the man had human skeletal remains in his home and so prosecutors can't use what cops found there, a judge has ruled.
The man, Amador Medina, told police that he practiced Palo Mayombe, a syncretistic religion common in the Caribbean that fuses West African animism with certain Roman Catholic beliefs. He said he was using the bones, which police in Worcester, Massachusetts say he stole from the Houghton and Norcross family mausoleums at Hope Cemetery there, to perform a healing ritual, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
Bill Gates somehow managed to get the U.S. Department of Education not only to buy into Common Core but also foist it on local school districts all over the land — in less than five years.
Joyce Pullman's book The Education Invasion: How Common Core Fights Parents for Control of American Kids "describes how the Gates Foundation promoted and continues to promote one extremely wealthy couple's uninformed, unsupported, and unsupportable ideas on education for other people's children, even while their own children are enrolled in a non–Common Cored private school," writes Sandra Stotsky, a columnist for New Boston Post, in an article about the book in The Independent Review.
