Farah Muscadin, Director of the Austin Office of Police Oversight, has once again pushed to offer bribes to people in the community to take Critical Race Theory (CRT) training. For completing a 22-hour course, people are cashing in with $550 gift (read grift) cards. $55,000 was defunded from the Austin Police Department to fund this radical training course. Guess who is paying for this ridiculous CRT propaganda?
It is well past time for Austin citizens to demand their own Office of Government Oversight Committee to watch over how these people continue to waste taxpayer funds on pushing this Marxist-influenced indoctrination that is inherently racially divisive.
The influential driving force behind these shenanigans is Muscadin. Muscadin was ousted from a similar position at Chicago State University for employing the same shady tactics she is pulling here in Austin.
Austin Police Association President Ken Casaday said they investigated Farah Muscadin, the director of the Office of Police Oversight, and found some disturbing information about her past career at Chicago State University. Casaday sent a letter to Austin City Manager Spencer Cronk noting Muscadin’s name was mentioned in a lawsuit alleging a conspiracy to falsely accuse a professor of sexual harassment while she was working as Dean of Students at Chicago State University. He also provided board of trustee meeting minutes mentioning Muscadin had been “terminated.”
This blatant waste of money simply boils down to further defunding of the police. The goal of Muscadin and her ilk is to strip the Austin Police Department of every resource possible. While Austin crime and homicide numbers continue to exponentially increase, these extreme-left radical groups keep chipping away at morale and funding to continue the downward spiral Austin is on in terms of law enforcement and public safety. While the excuses and denial are endless, accountability is in short supply. If you want to address the record breaking murder numbers, look no further than these anti-police radicals’ war with the police.
Grassroots stated last year their goal is to dismantle @Austin_Police in 4 yrs. The @austintexasgov gives this anti police NPO $23k for zoom attendees to speak out against police for their Reimagining project. #TxLege #HB1900 Sept 1st can’t come soon enough. #PublicSafetyFirst

And decriminalizing all criminals, running off the police and claiming they're leaving the force due to (false) allegations and of course alleged findings of high ranking officials going off on racist rants like it was nbd.

Until Austin citizens stand up and demand that these activists stop getting in the way of law and order, the city streets will continue to get less safe. Has this woke fad cost enough innocent Austinites their lives or do we need to continue this charade? When will it be enough for Austinites to stand up and admit that this experiment failed badly and should have never been attempted? It is time for Austin to hire and elect people who have a track record of success, instead of bringing in consultants from failing cities like Detroit and Chicago.
CRT is a great example of Marxism. It divides people into victim and oppressor groups, comes to erroneous conclusions about the cause and solution to inequality, then uses government force to try to fix it. Rather than lifting unsuccessful people up, it is tearing successful people down.
I have some friends in the department and they told me that some high level APD leadership walked out of the class when they were instructed to sign something acknowledging their privilege and being on stolen land etc. This was a requirement for the class to even begin.

It's gift card time again. In this May email OPO Director Muscadin wants to give members of the community $550 to attend 22 hrs of critical race theory training. So now we're paying for members of the community to take CRT?? This is crazy. pic.twitter.com/TUcf4TXoRk

While brainstorming how to fast track their CRT gift card scheme it is suggested to Muscadin that they name drop Cronk. A confident Muscadin says not to worry SHE will get it done. That says a lot right there. pic.twitter.com/Tnp0l1hSXz

Muscadin wants 2 spend $55k on gift cards 2 get community 2 participate in CRT training. A city attorney asks what we have all been asking. Why do we have to pay people? Pic 4 reveals Joyce James Consult is conducting only 30 sessions over 3 yrs. That's almost $100k per session! pic.twitter.com/WHVY854W7a

Chief Chacon's message to APD concerning critical race theory classes. He mentions that community members will be in attendance. They must be the people we are paying $25 an hour for them to attend. 🤦♂️https://t.co/F5EnZ2CHQ5

Has anybody seen the COA "equity dashboard". The right hand side looks like some classes with a description. I like the top right hand side where they attack the UT athletic complex. Ugh.🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/OfuROYbWFZ
