On Monday, the Winooski School District in Vermont raised the Somali flag on campus. In the district, located outside of Burlington, roughly 9% of students are Somali.

The district shared, “We are raising the Somali flag this week in honor of our Somali youth and families in Winooski and Vermont.”

“On Monday, we will be gathering to celebrate together and to learn more about our civil rights.”

 

The district responded to outrage sparked by the decision, sharing, “First, we want to assure everyone that the United States flag remains in its proper place at the highest point, in full compliance with the U.S. Flag Code.”

“The district has three flag masts: the U.S. flag on the top mast, the Vermont state flag on the second, and—this week—the Somali flag on the third.”

“The Somali flag is being flown for one week as a gesture of support for Somali students and families. Winooski is a proudly diverse community, and we are committed to recognizing and uplifting the cultures and identities represented in our schools.”

The move comes following continued explosive revelations regarding the massive scandal unfolding in Minnesota involving the Somali community.

The Gateway Pundit reported that the sprawling Somali-linked fraud networks may be far larger and more deeply embedded than the public was ever told.

What was originally reported as a $250 million “Feeding Our Future” scandal and later acknowledged as a $1 billion fraud may now exceed $8 BILLION, according to whistleblowers and new federal investigations.

In an explosive announcement on X, U.S. Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler revealed that numerous individuals and nonprofits indicted in the Minnesota COVID-relief scandal also received SBA PPP loans and other federal payouts, suggesting a coordinated, multi-agency exploitation of pandemic programs.

“Numerous individuals and nonprofits indicted in the $1 billion Minnesota COVID fraud scandal, including Feeding Our Future, received SBA PPP loans in addition to other state and federal funding,” Loeffler wrote on X.

“I have ordered an investigation into the network of Somali organizations and executives implicated in these schemes. Despite Governor Walz’s best efforts to obstruct, SBA continues to work to expose abuse and hold perpetrators accountable, full stop.”
