“You get presented with, on equal merits, like a white person or a black person or whatever. Yeah, we're going with the black person,” revealed Jonathan Ferrer, Director of Human Resources for Summit Public Schools, a charter network operating in California and Washington, to an OMG hidden camera, admitting to employment practices that violate federal and state anti-discrimination laws.
During the hidden camera investigation, Ferrer acknowledged that hiring decisions are often made based on race. He explained further that hiring is evaluated in terms of the school’s perceived cultural needs, adding, “Who do we feel is best for kids right now in the context of that school site or that classroom? So if it’s a person of color, great. If it’s a trans teacher, great.”
Ferrer also discussed how the district’s DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) priorities impact candidate selection. When asked if there are certain quotas they try to meet, he explained, “Obviously we have a lot of kids that identify as LGBTQ, maybe even trans. So we have one trans teacher in our district… and so I think it’s just culturally, we just naturally look for those folks.”
Ferrer also admitted that political ideology plays a role in who is and isn’t hired. When asked if Summit Public Schools would ever hire someone who supports Donald Trump, Ferrer bluntly replied, “I don’t think we would hire them.” He elaborated that the school uses DEI-based interview questions to filter out candidates who do not align with the district’s values. “We do have DEI questions built into our selection process,” Ferrer said. “We have a rubric… if they say any of these things, this is not someone who's answering the question the way we’re aligned to answer the question.”
He provided an example of the kind of response that would disqualify a candidate, saying, “If the candidate or teacher is like, ‘Well, I want to make sure that [students] learn about conservative values,’ blah, blah, blah… that’s probably not what we are looking for.”
OMG has reached out to Summit Public Schools regarding Ferrer’s comments on hiring decisions being driven by identity politics rather than equal opportunity and merit.
Tom Ellsworth and Patrick Bet-David reference OMG’s undercover footage of Pam Bondi, secretly recorded in a D.C. restaurant by an anonymous source, discussing “tens of thousands” of Epstein-related videos “all with little kids.” Bondi doubled down on her claims from the White House lawn, only to walk them back just days later... What changed?
No curiosity. No accountability.
“They don’t care about you… they want power.”
That should concern everyone.
Within minutes of reaching the U.S. border from South America, Anthony Rubin and his brother were surrounded by armed men, blindfolded, and taken deep into cartel territory.
“They tied us up… they just kept saying, ‘We’re going to see El Jefe,’” said Rubin.
They were interrogated, searched for wires, and forced to hand over all their electronics, except one hidden GoPro that miraculously survived.
The cartel smashed the equipment, destroyed footage, and said: “That’s the cost of your life.” Anthony and his brother walked away alive with a story few journalists live to tell.

According to an HHS spokesperson, “Even during a public health emergency, pharmaceutical companies are still required to follow strict protocols for clinical testing. For emergency use, companies must show that the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. Oversight doesn’t stop at approval — the FDA and other agencies also monitor products closely once they’re in use… HHS remains committed to full transparency and evidence-based oversight — putting the safety of the American people first.”
The company has still not responded to OMG's request for comment.
Anthony Rubin (founder of MUCKRAKER.com) joins us to discuss the reality of on-the-ground journalism, including his harrowing journey of being kidnapped by the Mexican cartel while exposing the truth on the ground.
