Community activist Shamgar Connors spoke at the July 14 Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors meeting about the corruption in Spotsylvania County Schools. He talks about how the School Board censored him by trespassing him from taxpayer funded school property thereby preventing him from attending school board meetings. Connors uses satire and creativity to bring attention to corruption in public schools such as child XXX assault from school staff, allowing explicit books in school libraries, and protecting DEI hires over protecting kids.

In his speech, Shamgar Connors references Spotsylvania County Schools Superintendent Clint “DEI” Mitchell, school board chair Marxist Megan Jackson, school safety director Jeremy Siefker, and some weird Drag Queen Dante person that enjoys drag queens who apparently harasses Connors and others through lawfare. His speech shows that the far-left school board led by Marxist Megan, Crackpot Carol, Radical Rodas, Lying Lorita Daniels, Jenny Craig, and Uncle Rich have done nothing to fix these problems.

At the August 11 Board of Supervisors meeting, Carla Milsap talks about the problems in Spotsylvania County Schools. She does make a good point. Why does the Board of Supervisors keep increasing the funding for the school division when they are unable to drug test teachers or prevent child XXX abuse? Is a half billion dollars not enough money?

Shamgar Connors had another creative speech at the Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors meeting. Connors brought attention to school board member Jennifer Craig Ford’s obsession with drag queens. Connors showed pictures from Craig-Ford’s social media accounts as evidence of this obsession. Connors also showed pictures of Craig Ford alongside Supervisor Chris Yakabouski and Parks and Rec Commission member Dante Braden.

We find it weird that a sitting school board member responsible for children has a weird public fascination with drag queens. We believe Jenny Craig is capable of promoting a drag queen story hour at elementary schools in the near future. We also find it weird that alleged Republican Chris Taxabouski would associate with far-left democrat Craig Ford. Do the children of Spotsylvania County Schools deserve to be indoctrinated by these values?

Shamgar Connors spoke at the Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors meeting on August 11 about school issues. His creative speech centers on how Spotsy Schools lacks the common sense to implement drug testing. We think Shamgar has a valid point when he says Spotsy Schools half billion-dollar budget is geared towards hiring the lawyers to cover things up and defend the school division from more lawsuits.

Shamgar gives a shoutout to Clint “DEI” Mitchell, Radical Rodas, Crackpot Carol, Marxist Megan, Uncle Rich, Jenny Craig, Nasty Nicole, and Larry the Lover in his speech.

At the August 10 school board meeting, Spotsylvania County Schools Superintendent Clint “DEI” Mitchell had another rant about emails. Mitchell categorized “emails” as threats without providing specific emails from specific senders. He takes it one step further and claims people from out of state sends him emails. Here is the video for all to see.

Perhaps this video shows why Clint “DEI” Mitchell needs to be drug tested. Mitchell’s overgeneralizations without providing anything specific was an appeal to emotional argument. Everything is racist or a threat when he does not agree with you.

At the August 10 Spotsylvania County School Board meeting, the board once again voted against drug testing teachers. Here is a clip of school board member Larry DiBella describing the teacher from Spotswood Elementary that was caught with drugs in the classroom a few years ago. Isn’t that enough motivation to want to have testing?

School board members claim they support student safety. Yet, they are against drug testing teachers which keeps students safe. Radical Rodas, Crackpot Carol, Jenny Craig, and Lying Lorita voted against drug testing teachers.

Anthony Fauci had a big day testifying in the Senate today. They told us to not question the science. Yet, the science pled the fifth amendment. Fauci was right that his covid shots provided him full immunity. All of us at the Spotsy Wire reminisce about the good old days where Spotsylvania County school board members got creative with their masks. Which school board member wins the best mask award? Shameful Shelley or Lying Lorita, or Grumpy Grampp? Let us know in the comments.

Here are three video clips of Spotsylvania County Schools Superintendent Clint “DEI” Mitchell arguing against drug testing at the March 2026 school board meeting. Mitchell makes a series of weak arguments against testing by avoiding the bigger issue of student safety. He is more concerned about losing potential teachers.

It is common in many industries for employees to go through random drug testing. If testing scares a teacher from working in the school division, why is that a problem? If a teacher has a problem with substance abuse, wouldn’t the school administration want to get ahead of that to prevent student safety issues? Mitchell cites two incidents occurring where staff failed a test. If one incident occurs, is that not one incident too many?

We at the Spotsy Wire think that either Clint “DEI” Mitchell has a PhD in stupidity or enjoys using substances and wants to avoid being tested. That is our opinion on Dr Mitchell.

Spotsylvania County Schools Superintendent Clint Mitchell is making national news. We love how Nick Minock from ABC 7 Washington and Libs of TikTok are rediscovering old Spotsy Wire articles from 2024 and 2025 and presenting them as something new. Anyway, Dr Clint is getting some well-earned recognition on the disaster he created in Spotsylvania County Schools.

Spotsylvania County is purchasing the soccer fields at New Post for five million dollars of taxpayer money. Why is Spotsylvania County paying well over the tax assessed value (around 1 million) and the 2022 purchase price (2.2 million) for land that is deed restricted? The land has environmental restrictions that renders it useless. No homes or commercial property can be built. There is no demand driving up the cost of that property. Prior to the county’s purchase, Fredericksburg Christian School attempted to purchase that property, but the deal fell off because of the environment restrictions.

Below are screenshots of emails we sent to Supervisors Lori Hayes, Chris Yakabouski, Drew Mullins, and David Gooseman on Friday May 15. We also sent an email to Tim Welsh whose company helped construct those fields. It is now Monday May 18 at 9pm and none of them have responded. When we emailed Mullins and Yakabouski on May 1, they responded within hours by deflecting and gas lighting. Mullins sent the Spotsy Wire five emails within 24 hours.

Why are the Supervisors now silent? Why are the Supervisors unable to answer some basic questions to the citizens? Is there corruption? Yakabouski repeats the same talking point that we are saving the county money. Is it really saving the county money? Spotsylvania County is paying a premium for deed restricted land. Demand drives price but there is no demand for this property so why is the county paying a premium and not negotiating for a lower price?

At the May 12 Board of Supervisors meeting, speaker Sue Goetz talks about the county’s purchase of fields for five-million-dollars. Below is the video of her speech. Goetz questions the purchase price in lieu of other priorities in the county. Goetz also provides a history of the fields. We summarize her statements below.

• Tricord donated the fields in 2011 to an organization called FASA (who now call themselves FFC)
• Millions were promised to the local economy by having the fields
• FASA (now FFC) took out loans and received county and state grant money
• In 2016, Goetz says the fields were transferred to Spotsylvania County for unknown reasons and transferred back (we are trying to understand this statement)
• In 2022, FASA (now FFC) sold the fields to New Post Sports Complex for a deed in lieu of foreclosure for over two million
• The land is deed restricted and cannot be used for homes or commercial development
• The County paid double the amount of the 2022 purchase price yet no significant improvements occurred.

Why is the county overpaying for these fields by double the 2022 purchase price on a deed restricted property? Who is really making money at the taxpayer’s expense? It appears that the original field owner, FASA (now FFC), lost the fields due to gross mismanagement. Adjacent to the old FASA/FFC fields the county is purchasing is another bigger soccer field complex owned by the Virginia Youth Soccer Association that appears to have no financial issues. There is probably a lot more to this story that needs to be researched.

The Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a real estate purchase agreement for three properties to serve as a sports complex for $5,000,000. The total taxed assessed value of all 3 properties is $1,287,500 ($975,500 for Parcel 38-2-8, $312,000 for Parcel 38-1-11, and $0 for Parcel 38-11-12). All the properties have environment restrictions attached to them and are mostly zoned industrial.

Why is the county overpaying by almost four million over the tax assessed value? That is the five-million-dollar question especially when the county is cutting services in other areas such as employee insurance. Is this a good use of your taxpayer dollars? Is someone getting paid off by the county? Are their liens on any of those properties? Below are screenshots of the GIS map, tax assessed values, and executive summary of the purchase agreement all on the county website.

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) sent a letter to the Spotsylvania County School Board about the First Amendment violations of Shamgar Connors. Connors has a creative way of expressing himself to attract attention to the misconduct occurring in Spotsylvania County Schools. The Spotsylvania County School Board issued Connors a no trespass order. This is in addition to the school board members interruptions or attempts to cut off his previous speeches during public comment.

Is there another lawsuit coming for Spotsylvania County Schools? Below are some of Shamgar’s speeches and the actual letter sent by FIRE.

There is another proposed bill that forces students to learn revisionist history through the lens of DEI. HB614 wants to tell students what to think instead of how to think. HB614 is just like North Korea propaganda or 3rd world socialism. The far-left is no longer hiding their desire to indoctrinate students with identity politics. If students must learn everything through the lens of DEI, perhaps we will learn the answers to these questions.

• How was the trans community affected during the Great Depression? Or maybe group identity had nothing to do with the Great Depression.
• How many people in the LGBTQ+ community were hired as part of the Manhattan Project? Or maybe no one really cared because it was more important to win the war?
• Who in the bisexual community helped with the Apollo moon landing? Or maybe no one really cared about that since everyone was focused on getting to the moon faster than the Soviet Union?

The state wants to mandate revisionist history that will be taught radically different than how history is taught in Florida or Texas. Below are passages from the actual HB614 bill showing what the far-left are up to. Here is an idea. Maybe students should study the facts in historical events and allow for debate on the policies or reasoning behind the event instead of being told that everything in the past was based on DEI.

“instructional materials and standards in history and social science shall include the contributions, perspectives, and experiences of historically marginalized communities, including racial and ethnic minorities; immigrants and refugees; women; individuals with disabilities; individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+); individuals from various socioeconomic statuses; individuals from various religious backgrounds; and any other group of individuals that the Board deems appropriate, in order to affirm such communities”

“the Department shall develop, curate, or identify supplemental instructional resources that support the teaching of inclusive history. These resources shall include materials for observances such as Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Disability History and Awareness Month, LGBTQ+ History Month, and other recognitions as determined by the Board.”

Virginia State Delegate Nicole Cole proposed a bill that requires a county government to automatically approve a budget set by the school board. Spotsylvania County government would only have the power to set the tax rate. What does that mean? Your taxes are going up because the Board of Supervisors is forced to approve a school board budget as is.

Bureaucrats and politicians never face the consequences of their bad decisions due to the supply of taxpayer money. That is the core problem with bigger government. The school division has no competition for taxpayer money. There is no incentive to improve education or eliminate bad products. Spotsylvania County Schools has problems with hiding information, allowing child XXX abuse to occur, or sweeping things under the rug. We have reported on a lot of this. Why reward that bad behavior by increasing taxes and increasing the size of government?

Smaller government solutions like school choice, where the taxes follow the student, creates a market that punishes schools that offer a bad product. If the product is bad, people stop buying the product. All the educational institutions both private and public in the market are forced to offer great products otherwise they go out of existence. Just imagine if taxes follow the student and Spotsylvania County Schools continue to hide the child XXX abuse issues. How many more parents would stop tolerating the bad behavior by Spotsylvania County Schools and take their child elsewhere?

Here is the relevant text in Nasty Nicole’s House Bill 412 – “the governing body of a county and the governing body of a municipality shall each prepare and approve an annual budget for educational purposes…………that meets or exceeds the funding levels set out in the needs-based budget prepared and approved by the school board and submitted by the division superintendent”

Spotsylvania County Superintendent Clint “DEI” Mitchell has other jobs outside his role as Superintendent. During public comment at the 1/12 school board meeting, speaker Wanda Stroh talked about this topic. We covered Mitchell’s other jobs in our October 13, 2025 article – https://spotsywire.com/2025/10/13/clint-mitchell-joins-longwood-faculty/

Maybe Clint “DEI” Mitchell’s $250K salary is not a livable wage so he needs other jobs. All these part time jobs mean he does not have enough time to solve the problems of the school division. Mitchell needs board approval before taking another part time job per his contract. The vote on January 12 was to cover for him because he had these other jobs without board approval for more than a year.

Former Spotsylvania County School Board member and state delegate Nicole Cole lost another court battle via forfeit. Here is the press release from the Founding Freedoms Law Center and a statement by former school board member Lisa Phelps

https://www.foundingfreedomslaw.org/news/victory-against-liberal-lawfare-in-spotsylvania

“As the former elected School Board member for the Lee Hill District of Spotsylvania County, Va. I am issuing the following statement after former Spotsylvania School Board member Nicole Cole voluntarily dismissed her $1 million lawsuit yesterday.. Cole was recently elected to serve as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, representing portions of Caroline County and Spotsylvania County. I think our citizens will be more informed in two years and reject the radical progressive antagonist.

I am pleased—but not surprised—that this frivolous lawsuit has now been voluntarily dismissed. From the beginning, this case was frivolous and non factual merit. The court had already dismissed all five claims on demurrer, making clear that the accusations against me were baseless.

This lawsuit should never have been filed. It wasted time, resources, and public attention that should have been focused on serving our students, teachers, and families. Attempts to use the legal system to silence or intimidate individuals for speaking truthfully about public meetings and public conduct undermine trust in our institutions.

I consistently acted responsibly and truthfully while serving as an elected official, and yesterday’s voluntary dismissal fully vindicates me.

Although my term on the Spotsylvania School Board concluded at the end of 2025, I remain committed to civic engagement and to supporting transparency and accountability in public service. Thank you to those who always believed in me and supported me. To those who believed the radicals, naysayers and media, I hope you do a deep dive into facts instead of allowing the intentional false media optics steer you.

Happy New Year!
May god bless you.
Lisa

Miguel Velasquez Velasco, the Spotsylvania County Schools bus aide convicted of child XXX abuse, will be in prison until he is a senior citizen or some idiot judge lets him out. Spotsylvania County School Board Chair Marxist Megan Jackson and Superintendent Clint “DEI” Mitchell have already started damage control. They put out a long-winded “cover your ass” email today.

• They failed to explain why they consistently refused a 3rd party investigation.
• They failed to explain the 14-day gap from when the incident was reported until something was done.
• They failed to explain why no one wanted to look at the video except the bus driver.
• They failed to explain why the “instituted the following safety measures” announcement couldn’t have been made 12 months ago
• They failed to explain how one does a background check on an individual that has only been in the country for less than a year as reported by Commonwealth’s Attorney Ryan Mehaffey

They failed to explain why they shutdown free speech during public comment when speaking about any of these issues. Remember when Mitchell told Jackson to “cut off her mic”? Remember when Marxist Megan cut off public speakers like Shamgar Connors from speaking about this?

The Spotsy Wire was the first media outlet to cover this story back in September 2024. Here are the past articles we wrote on this issue https://spotsywire.com/category/miguelvelasquezvelasco

Shamgar Connors has been instrumental to bring more attention to this issue. Here is an interview he did with Potomac Local News https://www.youtube.com/live/l9KmCO6Nmic

The sentencing for Miguel Velasquez Velasco, the Spotsylvania County Schools bus aide convicted of child XXX abuse, occurs on Friday November 21 at 9am. He faces up to 200 years in jail for his crimes. We hope the judge does not give him a light sentence. The abuse incidents occurred during the tenure of Superintendent Clint Mitchell.

Here is a link to past articles covering this story – https://spotsywire.com/category/miguelvelasquezvelasco

Spotsylvania County School Board member Lisa Phelps sent a FOIA request to FOIA officer Dennis Martin for Superintendent Clint “DEI” Mitchell’s credentials. These credentials are public records. Below is a screenshot of that FOIA request. The email speaks for itself. There was no request for personal information such as a birth certificate, social security card, passports, or immigration status.

Yet, Mitchell displayed fake outrage by making a long-winded rambling speech at the November 10 school board meeting. He shared and showed personal information such as his passports, social security card, immigration status, etc. The woke 5 school board members, Marxist Megan, Crackpot Carol, Lying Lorita, Radical Rodas, and Nasty Nicole, gave Mitchell a standing ovation at the end of his speech. During public comment, Mitchell’s supporters claimed “racism” and that he did not owe the public any explanation on his credentials. The Free Press and the Advance portrayed this entire situation as “racism”.

We can see through the performative politics of Mitchell. We believe he coordinated all of this to make a political argument. Mitchell by his own admission stated his role is political. We captured that moment on video back on December 15, 2024 (link below). None of this surprises us. Are we supposed to believe the schools are not political and that people are being mean to Mitchell ?
