In California’s Coachella Valley, where ideology too often trumps common sense, a high school principal just handed us another stunning example of what happens when agenda-driven governance collides with basic American values.
This week, a U.S. Border Patrol recruiter—yes, a federal law enforcement officer—was denied entry to a career fair at Coachella Valley High School. The excuse from the school district? It was a “misunderstanding.” Right. And the border’s secure, inflation’s transitory, and Biden knows where he is.
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t a paperwork mix-up or a missed email. This was a deliberate act. A Border Patrol agent, invited to speak about careers in federal service, was blocked from doing so by a principal who, we’re supposed to believe, just didn’t get the memo. The same Border Patrol that has served at these events for three straight years, now suddenly—inadvertently—unwelcome.
Give me a break.
Coachella Valley Unified School District quickly issued a PR-slick apology once the story hit social media and U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino exposed it. Their press release tried to smooth it over with boilerplate about “valuing career opportunities” and “disciplinary action,” but the damage was already done.
This is the rotten fruit of a system that’s spent years undermining law enforcement, vilifying border security, and rewriting the rules of citizenship to fit a progressive utopia that collapses under the weight of reality. The district even hands out “Know Your Rights” red cards to help students prepare for encounters with immigration officers—as if our Border Patrol agents are jackbooted thugs instead of public servants trying to hold the line at a broken border.
So what message does this send to students? That defending America’s borders is shameful? That law enforcement doesn’t belong in a school setting? That federal service is something to be hidden away unless it’s wrapped in a DEI acronym?
Here’s the real agenda at play: schools like this aren’t interested in informing students—they’re interested in indoctrinating them. They’ll preach about inclusion, diversity, and opportunity, but when it comes to a career defending this nation’s sovereignty? Suddenly, the doors are locked.
Fortunately, this time the backlash was swift, and the Border Patrol will be back. But don’t mistake an apology for accountability. This wasn’t just a mistake—it was a glimpse into how deep the rot goes in our institutions.
