Outgoing Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamaal-bowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaal Bowman</a> (D-NY) insisted on Monday that President Joe Biden&#8217;s oft-repeated promise not to pardon his embattled son Hunter Biden was not &#8220;a lie&#8221; — despite the fact that on Sunday, Biden issued just such a pardon.
Bowman, who aligns with the far-left &#8220;Squad&#8221; members like Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), was defeated in his 2024 Democratic primary and is best known for pulling a fire alarm — to stall a vote — and then lying about it.
He joined a CNN panel discussion on Monday evening to talk about Biden&#8217;s sweeping pardon — which covered any and all federal crimes, charged or not, that Hunter may have committed over an 11-year period.
Despite an NBC report suggesting that the pardon had always been part of the plan — as had Biden&#8217;s outward dishonesty — Bowman&#8217;s assessment of the situation was that the pardon had only come about because of a change in &#8220;context&#8221;: President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.

&#8220;Why are we saying he&#8217;s lying when the context has changed?&#8221; Bowman asked, referring to the 2024 election results, and others on the panel began talking at once. &#8220;This is — this is a new context.&#8221;
&#8220;President Trump — what do you mean, &#8216;so what?'&#8221; Bowman continued, throwing out Democrat buzzwords as others on the panel argued that Trump had nothing to do with whether or not Biden had lied. &#8220;Multiple times indicted, convicted, insurrectionist, wants to destroy the FBI, President Trump — that&#8217;s the new context.&#8221;

According to NBC News&#8217; <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/joe-biden-issue-pardon-son-hunter-biden-rcna182369" target="_blank" rel="noopener">initial report</a> on the pardon, however, if there was a change in &#8220;context&#8221; that impacted the president&#8217;s decision, it was not Trump&#8217;s re-election, but Hunter&#8217;s conviction. That, as NBC reported, was also when the administration sanctioned a conscious effort on the parts of Biden and his media surrogates to lie to the people about it.
<blockquote>The president has discussed pardoning his son with some of his closest aides at least since Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, said two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter. They said it was decided at the time that he would publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.</blockquote>

Bowman was replying to the announcement that Simon Kinberg would be writing and producing Episodes X, XI, and XII of the film series. There have been many “Star Wars” movies over the past four decades with varying degrees of success.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/disney">Disney</a> acquired Lucasfilm in 2012 and immediately got to work on a new trilogy of Star Wars sequels to the existing six movies. Each of the three films had a different director attached, leading to fans saying they didn’t feel like a cohesive story was being told. 
Despite Bowman’s demand to have a black actor play the lead role, multiple outlets are reporting that Henry Cavill is in talks to star in the new trilogy, though no official casting decisions have been announced yet.
Several Disney films have featured different races and ethnicities in roles that originally had white leads. Some examples include the upcoming live-action “Snow White” starring Rachel Zegler and actress Halle Bailey playing Ariel in “The Little Mermaid” (2023).
Bowman is a leftist activist who was charged late last year with pulling a fire alarm in Congress. He’s also a member of what’s commonly referred to as “The Squad” — a group of far-left lawmakers that includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Cori Bush (D-MO), and others. He’s the first of The Squad to be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/far-left-democrat-jamaal-bowman-loses-primary-after-becoming-full-scale-anti-semite">ousted from Congress</a> after losing his primary race against moderate George Latimer in June.

Galvanized by Rep. Cori Bush’s (D-MO) primary defeat, Minnesota Republicans are mounting an eleventh-hour campaign to make Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) the latest “Squad” member to lose her job.
Minnesota voters will decide Omar’s fate in Tuesday’s primary, in which she will face off against three Democratic challengers. Minnesota allows voters to participate in the primary of their choice, regardless of party affiliation. Since Republican candidate Dalia Al-Aqidi is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fight-between-good-and-evil-muslim-journalist-running-against-ilhan-omar-says-shes-taking-a-stand-for-israel">running unopposed</a>, there is a push for Minnesota Republicans to vote for one of Omar’s challengers.
The last-minute push—word of which is <a href="https://x.com/StopAntisemites/status/1821362204144279835">largely</a> <a href="https://x.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1821315707302269111">being</a> <a href="https://x.com/iamBrianBJ/status/1821027997341605973">spread</a> on X—comes after two of Omar’s fellow Squad members had significant upsets in their Democratic primaries this year. Bush lost her primary last week, and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) lost in June. Bush and Bowman’s increasingly anti-Israel rhetoric is widely seen to have alienated voters.
Don Samuels, who came within 2,500 votes of <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Minnesota%27s_5th_Congressional_District_election,_2022">defeating</a> Omar in 2022, is once again her top challenger.
Before running for Congress, Samuels was a Minneapolis City Councilman and Minneapolis School Board member. The Jamaican-born Samuels holds more pro-Israel views than Omar, who has faced criticism for her anti-Semitic and anti-Israel rhetoric since assuming office in 2019. Omar has been embroiled in controversy for ramping up that rhetoric in the wake of  Hamas’s  October 7 massacre of over 1,000 Israelis.
In April, Samuels attacked Omar for voting against bipartisan legislation aimed at curbing Iran, which had near-unanimous support from Democrats.

Samuels echoes mainstream Democratic positions on Israel and the Gaza War. On <a href="https://www.donsamuels.com/issues/middle-east/">his website</a>, he calls for Hamas to return hostages and lose its governing power in Gaza, but also for Israel to halt construction of new settlements and work towards a two-state solution.
Hoping to put a wider margin between herself and Samuels, Omar has boosted her fundraising efforts, reporting approximately $6.2 million in her pre-primary financial disclosure, according to <a href="https://apnews.com/article/minnesota-primary-senate-house-omar-ccc166cf0b9c42fb9dbb98ba0d35c258">the Associated Press</a>. Samuels has raised around $1.4 million. 
Bush and Bowman attribute their losses to the United Democracy Project, a super PAC affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) which spent at least <a href="https://forward.com/fast-forward/641967/ilhan-omar-cori-bush-aipac-israel/">$24 million</a> to oust them.

The United Democracy Project has not gotten involved in Omar’s race. In a Wednesday interview with the Forward, Samuels said he thinks AIPAC  is “missing an opportunity.&#8221;
A <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/house/2024/minnesota/5/">July poll</a> shows Omar leading Samuels by 27 points. An internal poll released by the Samuels campaign showed him slightly trailing Omar with over 20 percent of voters still undecided.

Decision Desk HQ called the race for St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Wesley Bell just after 9 p.m. local time with just over 40% of the vote tallied — at the time, Bell led Bush by double digits, holding 54.9% to Bush&#8217;s 41.8%.

Bush first appeared on the local political scene in the wake of the Ferguson riots — where she was an active participant — and has continued to use lies about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sitting-members-of-congress-and-more-commemorate-ferguson-police-shooting-by-lying-about-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">what happened to Michael Brown</a> to push her political agenda. She has represented Missouri&#8217;s 1st Congressional District — which includes St. Louis City and parts of the outlying St. Louis County — since 2021, after unseating William &#8220;Lacy&#8221; Clay Jr. in the 202o election. She has since made a name for herself by quickly aligning with Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and others on the radical Left.

In the wake of the October 7th massacre — an unprecedented and unprovoked attack on Israel that was carried out by Hamas terrorists — Bush took the side of the pro-Hamas protesters who blamed Israel for the resulting war and threatened Jewish students on college campuses across the United States.
The Missouri Congresswoman has since been embroiled in controversy over funneling thousands to her husband, while he provides &#8220;security&#8221; for her even as she demands <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cori-defund-the-police-bush-pays-big-money-for-hubbys-security-business" target="_blank" rel="noopener">less police protection for others</a> while <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-cori-bush-reignites-calls-for-defunding-the-police-amid-violent-crime-surge">violent crime surges</a> in her home district.
Bush&#8217;s loss comes on the heels of another primary ouster 1,000 miles away — Rep. Jamaal Bowman, best known for pulling a fire alarm to stop an unfavorable vote from proceeding, lost by double digits after he too voiced support for campus pro-Hamas protesters in the aftermath of October 7th.
Both Bush and Bowman have claimed that, rather than their own radical policies, funding from AIPAC — a pro-Israel group — is the reason their campaigns floundered and ultimately failed.

Members of the far-left “Squad” threw their support behind Tim Walz shortly after Vice President Kamala Harris tapped the Minnesota governor as her running mate.
Walz on Tuesday racked up endorsements from Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar (MN), Jamaal Bowman (NY), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY). The trio share Walz’s progressive positions on a number of issues, including illegal immigration and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
The “Squad’s” swift embrace of Walz could cause problems for the Harris campaign. While Democrats are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harris-expected-to-tap-minnesota-governor-tim-walz-as-running-mate">optimistic</a> that Walz’s folksy, midwestern charm could help balance Harris’ coastal progressivism, the governor actually had the most far-left record of any of the lawmakers on Harris’s vice presidential shortlist, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cpac-scores-show-how-far-left-harris-vp-contenders-are">reported</a>.
Endorsements from the “Squad” could serve to remind voters that Walz isn’t as moderate as he appears.

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alexandria-ocasio-cortez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> (D-NY) fumed after Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamaal-bowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaal Bowman</a> (D-NY), a fellow far-Left member of &#8220;The Squad,&#8221; lost his primary race this week following his full on embrace of anti-Semitism following Hamas&#8217; October 7 massacre.
Ocasio-Cortez, who has an extensive history of palling around with anti-Semites like Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), campaigned for Bowman in the days prior to his blowout loss.
&#8220;This was about $20 million in big money being spent in a historic sum, unlike any seen in American history, point blank period,&#8221; AOC told reporters when asked if Democrat leadership could have done more to support Bowman. &#8220;And I think we need to have a real conversation about AIPAC. I think that what we do need to have [is] a real conversation about is how a Republican, primarily Republican and largely Republican financed organization is playing and dumping money and playing an extremely divisive role in the Democratic Party.&#8221;
AIPAC is not right-wing, conservative, or a Republican organization and it has long given money to candidates on both sides of the aisle.
&#8220;And by the way, it makes it much harder for us to coalition build and to create the winning coalitions that not just can ensure that we have representation at the congressional level,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;But they are spending this money into our party for a reason, because we need that coalition to win back House majorities. We need that energy and coalition of a progressive base in order to make sure that we win statewide and federally, and Republicans are pouring money to finance these for a reason because people and representatives like Jamaal Bowman can move and reach communities that many other areas of the Democratic Party cannot.&#8221;
&#8220;And so if Republicans can finance taking people like that off the board, they can also make it easier for themselves in November,&#8221; she concluded. &#8220;And so I think for all of us as a party, regardless of your stances, it&#8217;s very important that we have a conversation about why Republicans are playing such a large role in financing division and among Democrats.&#8221;

At no point during her response did she ever address the actual question and she never disavowed herself from blatant anti-Semitic remarks that Bowman made, including his denials of the October 7 massacre.
Ocasio-Cortez also did not seem to understand that Bowman lost to a liberal Democrat, 70-year-old George Latimer, not a Republican.
Ocasio-Cortez did not respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire about whether she had a problem with the Democrat Party&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/09/18/democratic-meddling-results-republican-primaries">meddle</a> in Republican Party primaries in the 2022 midterms.

According to New York&#8217;s Democratic Party Chair Jay Jacobs, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/26/nyregion/jamaal-bowman-squad-left.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reason for Bowman&#8217;s loss</a> was simple: &#8220;The voters in this district, and in other districts across the country, frankly, are just not buying some of the things that these candidates are selling. And now, moderate voters are getting engaged, they’re paying attention and they’re coming to the polls.&#8221;
But Usamah Andrabi, a spokesman for Justice Democrats, told The New York Times that the real problem was Jeffries — in spite of the fact that he had endorsed Bowman ahead of the primary.
&#8220;Jamaal Bowman is a model, not a warning, for what political leadership can look like,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The outcome of this election is a reflection on his leadership and whether Hakeem Jeffries stood up to Republican megadonors.&#8221;
Jeffries&#8217; spokeswoman Christie Stephenson fired right back, arguing that her boss&#8217; tenure would be judged based on whether he delivered a majority in the House in November. &#8220;The so-called Justice Democrats stated back in 2017 that their goal was to destroy the Democratic Party,&#8221; she said, noting that they had even threatened to primary Jeffries. “They have failed miserably in every way. Is anyone surprised?&#8221;

Bowman is not the only Squad-adjacent Democrat whose House seat is in jeopardy. Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), who also aligned herself with the anti-Israel protesters in the aftermath of October 7th, is facing a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jamaal-bowman-isnt-the-only-squad-member-on-the-chopping-block" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tough primary challenge</a> from St. Louis prosecuting attorney Wesley Bell.

Representative Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) got trounced in his primary on Tuesday, but he is not the only &#8220;Squad&#8221; member facing the chopping block this primary season.
Representative Cori Bush (D-MO) is locked in a dead heat with her primary challenger, St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Wesley Bell, ahead of their August 6 election, according to one poll.
Bush, who represents the St. Louis area, is polling at 42%, one point lower than Bell at 43%, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4740969-cori-bush-challenger-wesley-bell-locked-in-dead-heat-survey/damp/?nxs-test=damp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to polling from The Mellman Group for the organization Democratic Majority for Israel, which endorsed Bell.
This is a significant drop for Bush from January, when the same polling firm found her leading by 16 points.
In the more recent poll, Bell&#8217;s lead is within the margin of error, but some indicators suggest he may have a greater advantage.
He is leading Bush by 10 points among the most consistent primary voters — 49% to Bush&#8217;s 39%, according to the poll.
He also leads Bush in job approval, with 61% saying they approve of Bell&#8217;s job performance compared to just 49% for Bush.
Bell also has an edge in favorability, with 64% of voters viewing him favorably compared to Bush&#8217;s 60%.
In New York on Tuesday night, Bowman lost his Democratic primary to George Latimer, who served as County Executive for Westchester County.
Bowman&#8217;s ousting marked the first election loss for the group of progressive House lawmakers nicknamed the &#8220;Squad,&#8221; which includes Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Bowman&#8217;s primary involved fiery attacks by the two Democrats, with Latimer criticizing Bowman&#8217;s opposition to Israel’s war in Gaza as being out of sync with voters in his district, which includes Westchester County&#8217;s Jewish population.
Meanwhile, Bowman <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/25/politics/george-latimer-jamaal-bowman-new-york-16-primary/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was</a> forced to apologize for telling a group of pro-Palestinian protesters that reports of sexual violence by Hamas were &#8220;propaganda.&#8221;
Latimer also said Bowman, the first black man to represent his district, enjoys “an obvious ethnic benefit.”

Like Bowman, Bush has been vocal in her criticism of Israel for the war in Gaza and has <a href="https://bush.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-bush-statement-on-st-louis-board-of-aldermens-unanimous-passage-of-resolution-calling-for-ceasefire-in-gaza" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> for a cease-fire.
Meanwhile, Bell&#8217;s campaign website says he believes Israel has the right to defend itself.
&#8220;Israel — the only democracy and strongest American ally in the Middle East — was attacked by terrorists on October 7,&#8221; Bell&#8217;s website <a href="https://www.bell4mo.com/issues/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reads</a>. &#8220;I believe Israel has the right to defend itself and go after those who perpetrated those attacks. In Congress, I’ll fight to make sure the United States remains Israel’s strongest ally.&#8221;
The &#8220;Squad&#8221; members made headlines when they were first elected for ousting members of Congress who had held their seats for a decade or longer.
Bush ousted 10-term incumbent Lacy Clay in 2020 and became the first black woman from Missouri to serve in the House.

Jamaal Bowman Isn’t The Only 'Squad' Member On The Chopping Block

After losing his primary race, Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamaal-bowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaal Bowman</a> (D-NY) used his concession speech on Tuesday night to tout his support from Muslims in San Francisco and Dearborn, Michigan.
Just weeks ago, Bowman accused his Democratic rival, George Latimer, of race-baiting for suggesting the lawmaker&#8217;s &#8220;constituency&#8221; was from those areas that have large Arab-American communities.
&#8220;You don’t understand what the Muslim community specifically did in this race. The Muslim community from Yonkers to San Francisco to Dearborn, Michigan,&#8221; Bowman <a href="https://x.com/jacobkornbluh/status/1805802666343244212?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.

During a debate earlier this month, Latimer <a href="https://x.com/metzgov/status/1800336747404157042" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cast</a> Bowman as someone who did not prioritize the interests of his district in the Bronx and Westchester County with a diverse population.
“When you get as much money as you get from outside the district, your constituency is Dearborn, Michigan. Your constituency is San Francisco, California,&#8221; Latimer said.
Bowman, a member of the leftist &#8220;Squad&#8221; who has been a vocal critic of Israel&#8217;s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, <a href="https://x.com/JamaalBowmanNY/status/1800504707435417754" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> the comment an &#8220;Islamophobic dogwhistle&#8221; in a post to social media.

&#8220;It’s a geographic reference, not a demographic reference,&#8221; Latimer said.
Latimer added later that &#8220;it is clear that he raised money more in proportion outside the district from a nationwide network of donors that included people from those locations and others.&#8221;
Bowman&#8217;s decision to give props to the Muslim communities in places such as San Francisco and Dearborn during his concession speech also drew some backlash on social media.
&#8220;He hates that Jews in his own district live in tight-knit communities but Muslim communities in other parts of the country are praiseworthy,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/philipaklein/status/1805933901984022574" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> National Review Online Editor Phillip Klein.

2024 Election

U.S. House of Representatives

Far-left Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamaal-bowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaal Bowman</a> (D-NY) lost his primary race against moderate Westchester County executive George Latimer on Tuesday after the party pushed to oust him following his move to become a radical anti-Semite.
With just over half of the votes counted, the Associated Press called the race for Latimer, saying that he was up 55% to 45%.
Bowman, who was charged late last year with pulling a fire alarm in Congress, becomes the first member of &#8220;The Squad&#8221; — a group of far-left lawmakers that includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Cori Bush (D-MO), and more — to be voted out of Congress.
Backlash against Bowman was so intense that the primary race became the most expensive House primary in U.S. history, with approximately $25 million spent in advertising, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/rep-jamaal-bowman-democratic-primary-race-aipac-090fe2c6">The Wall Street Journal</a>.
Bowman denied many of the atrocities that took place during the October 7 massacre, falsely claiming that reports of mass rape and babies being beheaded was Israeli &#8220;propaganda.&#8221; He also refused to condemn Hamas&#8217; terrorist attack because he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-jamaal-bowman-leans-hard-into-anti-semitism-as-poll-shows-him-getting-blown-out-in-primary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disagreed</a> with calling the attack &#8220;unprovoked.&#8221;
Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro explained on his show this week Bowman&#8217;s embrace of anti-Semitism, saying that he had become a &#8220;full scale anti-Semite.&#8221;

Far-Left Democrat Jamaal Bowman Loses Primary After Becoming ‘Full Scale Anti-Semite’

Ousted Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/andrew-cuomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andrew Cuomo</a> (D-NY) weighed in on the tough primary opponent — George Latimer — facing Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and suggested the writing was already on the wall.
Referencing Bowman&#8217;s now-infamous fire alarm stunt — which he claimed was simply a failure on his part to differentiate between an exit door and a fire alarm — Cuomo said that the Squad-aligned progressive was going to get &#8220;smoked&#8221; in his Tuesday primary.
&#8220;Jamaal Bowman should pull the fire alarm again because he is going to be smoked by @LatimerforNY today. The message is clear: anti-semitism in any and all forms will not be tolerated in New York. And you can’t call yourself a progressive without making progress. Vote!&#8221;

Cuomo&#8217;s comment about anti-Semitism was a reference to Bowman&#8217;s alignment with the far-Left progressive &#8220;Squad&#8221; and their insistence on siding with anti-Israel protesters in the wake of the October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel. Bowman has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.

The New York congressman&#8217;s relationship with the Jewish community in his own district has been fraught as well.

The Jewish leader, reportedly made uncomfortable by the request, opted not to send the photo: &#8220;I was uncomfortable. I kind of joked around with him about it. I said, &#8216;Oh, I’m sure you guys have it. Don’t worry about it.&#8217; I was like, &#8216;I don’t want to be his court Jew.&#8217; That wasn’t what I signed up for.&#8221;

Elections

Jamaal Bowman, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/investigators-uncover-bowman-deception-in-fire-alarm-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">controversial</a> New York congressman, often appeals to his work as a former school principal and his Ed.D. in education as the basis for his policy positions.
But, according to our analysis, Bowman’s primary academic work — his 2019 <a href="https://www.proquest.com/openview/d593e623c894d5d70952589d37b5ac5f/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&amp;cbl=18750&amp;diss=y">dissertation</a>, “Community Schools: The Perceptions and Practices that Foster Broad-Based Collaboration among Leaders with the Community School Ecosystem” — is riddled with basic errors, failures of logic, and multiple instances of plagiarism. (Bowman did not return a request for comment.)
Bowman has <a href="https://x.com/JamaalBowmanNY/status/1239341511353012224" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasted</a> about the paper on social media and considers it formative to his political orientation. When asked recently about his political views, Bowman <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/jamaal-bowmans-closing-message-im-still-a-socialist-and-oct-7-was-israels-fault/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “I identify as an educator, and as a Black man in America. But my policies align with those of a socialist, so I guess that makes me a socialist.”
The dissertation, which Bowman completed at Manhattanville College, says that “Black, Latinx, and poor White children have been historically oppressed throughout American history,” and as recompense makes an argument for “community schools,” a concept developed by the Brazilian Marxist pedagogist Paulo Freire, in which schools would be expanded to provide full-time government services for every aspect of society, including for adults.
The statistical work in the paper is limited, and the method primarily consisted of “qualitative” research, with Bowman interviewing 13 school administrators, activists, and parents. Each was immediately placed in a demographic box and assigned the role of oppressor or oppressed. For example, Bowman wrote that “Ms. Melendez, a parent leader at Manny Ramirez High School, was born in the Dominican Republican [sic]” and is a true member of the New York community, while “Ms. Warren, who identified racially as White, discussed being very aware of being ‘a visitor in someone else [sic] community all the time.’”
Bowman’s community schools model holds that the government, not parents, is responsible for children’s success. Bowman quotes one school official saying, “Families don’t have any deficits. If a mother is collecting welfare, so what?”
Bowman’s paper relies on large leaps of logic. His limited quantitative research contradicts his basic argument in favor of community schools.
For example, Bowman looked at the outcome of community schools in New York City, referring to it with a pseudonym: “Quantitatively, the aggregate data from the Unified City School Survey were uploaded into Microsoft Wxcel [sic] for data analysis.” Even though the community schools advocated by Bowman were supposed to bring the community together, in his own data, they fared worse than regular schools. “Non-Community Schools achieved a statistically significant higher mean in the area of Strong Family-Community Ties as measured by the 2017 Unified City School Survey,” Bowman wrote.
Bowman shrugged this contradiction aside, saying “it is especially challenging for the Unified City Schools to foster Strong Family-Community Ties” because it is “culturally diverse.” Instead of questioning his premise, he argued that “additional opportunities for professional learning in the area of Strong Family-Community Ties within the Community School ecosystem could help improve the achievement of Community Schools in this category.”
Bowman’s paper also appears to include multiple instances of plagiarism.
In one passage, Bowman explains critical race theory, one of his theoretical methods, by copying from another author’s summary of the 2001 book, Critical Race Theory: An Introduction. He takes the passages from R. Rolon-Dow without quotation marks, as required by academic authors. In the copied passage, Bowman merely substitutes “Latino/Latina” with “Latinx/Latina,” following the latest academic fashion, although it appears that he misunderstood the purpose of the “x” noun ending, which is to remove gendered language like “Latina.” He also inserts a typo by changing “the intersection between race/ethnicity and caring” to “the intersection between race/ethnicity caring.”
Though he credits a string of authors in parenthesis, those citations are also copied from Rolon-Dow, with her name also tacked on the end.

On multiple other occasions, Bowman summarizes other research by copying and pasting without quotation marks, instead of paraphrasing the passages to show that he has an independent understanding of the concepts. For example:
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-753913" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman2-1.png" alt="" width="2716" height="838" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman2-1.png 2716w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman2-1-300x93.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman2-1-1024x316.png 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman2-1-768x237.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman2-1-1536x474.png 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman2-1-2048x632.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 2716px) 100vw, 2716px" /></div>
In another instance, when describing a study by other researchers, he copies verbatim, again without quotations:
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-753915" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman3-1.png" alt="" width="2716" height="782" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman3-1.png 2716w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman3-1-300x86.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman3-1-1024x295.png 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman3-1-768x221.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman3-1-1536x442.png 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/06/bowman3-1-2048x590.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 2716px) 100vw, 2716px" /></div>
The paper provides little in the way of meaningful advances in scholarship. “As a pragmatic study, no attempt was made here to generalize these data. The researcher studied the phenomenon of collaboration among leaders within the Community School ecosystem within its natural setting. This study reported based simply on the results found,” it concluded.
The general observation amounts to a form of racial reductionism, separating people into identity categories and judging them according to their ancestry.
Bowman implied that minority students learn better from minority educators—a contention that would, if true, amount to advocating for segregated schools. Being “just like the children she served” allowed “a Black female principal” to “enact[] Critical Care as part of her transformational leadership,” the paper said, referring to the version of Critical Theory that Bowman describes deploying on schoolchildren.
Bowman suggested that it may be more important for an educator to be oppressed than competent. “One can conclude that personal experiences, as opposed to professional learning or training, creates the perceptions and practices that were trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and community-driven,” Bowman wrote, adding that “exemplary academic performance or professional development” was less important than “personal experiences” such as growing up as a fellow member of the minority “community.”
This is the kind of dismal pseudo-scholarship that drives much of education and, unfortunately, an increasing share of political life. It should be scrutinized, as should its authors.
