On February 26, Simmons addressed a Chicago-area school district as the keynote speaker for its diversity training. She reportedly told administrators in Naperville District 203 schools that Americans are \u201cspiritually murdering\u201d black students.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>An intern for The Federalist spoke with a whistleblower teacher within Naperville District 203 and reported on Simmons\u2019 comments and her history of promoting \u201canti-racist\u201d propaganda.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/03\/05\/illinois-teachers-shamed-for-color-of-their-skin-in-taxpayer-sponsored-antiracist-training\/\"><span>The Federalist<\/span><\/a> <span>reported that during the seminar, Simmons and other speakers promoted a pyramid that claimed the slogan \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d is a form of \u201ccovert white supremacy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Following the Federalist\u2019s report, Simmons took to Twitter to admonish intern Gabe Kaminsky, who wrote the unflattering article. Simmons tagged the University of Pittsburgh, where Kaminsky attends school, in a tweet and called the article \u201cfake news.\u201d She claims that Kaminsky sent her a \u201cdisrespectful\u201d email asking for comments and providing her a deadline.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A copy of the email obtained by The Daily Wire reads:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><span>Hello,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>Does Ms. Simmons have any comment to the below question?&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>If in fact your determination is that free and open discourse is important, which seems to be echoed by teachers and yourself on Twitter, why do you not support hearing the other side that does not believe America is inherently rotten to the core?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>I am writing another piece, and if you plan on responding please provide me with a statement by tomorrow morning.&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>Thank you for your consideration,&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>Gabe Kaminsky<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Simmons claimed that both the article and the email were an attack on black women. She proceeded to tag the Naperville public high school\u2019s student newspapers in hopes of getting good press coverage from student journalists.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In a tweet, Simmons said that her inbox was full of hate mail after the Federalist\u2019s report. She called the Naperville area \u201cconservative,\u201d though the county hasn\u2019t voted for a Republican president since 2004.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLast week, I did a keynote in a conservative districts [and] caused my usual #goodtrouble. My inboxes are full of hate mail and threats,\u201d Simmons said. \u201cI had a whole article with fake facts attacking me. This work isn\u2019t easy, but I\u2019ll keep on.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>District 203 educators tweeted out a slew of support for the trainings and several attacked Kaminsky directly for his article.<\/p>\n<p><span>A University of Pittsburgh graduate student joined in the attacks and posted the email addresses for the university\u2019s Provost and Dean of Students. She said she will be writing emails to both as well as the student newspaper.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kaminsky told The Daily Wire that while Simmons and District 203 educators have taken to Twitter to report him to his school and call the article \u201cfake news,\u201d they have yet to reply to his email or explain what, if anything, was inaccurately reported.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe fact that not a single leftist educator at the Illinois school, nor the keynote speaker Dena Simmons \u2014 who blocked me \u2014 is interested in providing their side of the story only further underscores the issues at heart,\u201d Kaminsky said. \u201cThese adults would rather use ad-hominem and act like political bodyguards in the digital sphere, threatening a 21-year-old.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
