Dept. of Education breaks down Stockton man's door

12:15 AM, Jun 8, 2011
STOCKTON, CA - Kenneth Wright does not have a criminal record and he had no reason to believe a S.W.A.T team would be breaking down his door at 6 a.m. on Tuesday.

"I look out of my window and I see 15 police officers," Wright said.

Wright came downstairs in his boxer shorts as a S.W.A.T team barged through his front door. Wright said an officer grabbed him by the neck and led him outside on his front lawn.

"He had his knee on my back and I had no idea why they were there," Wright said.

According to Wright, officers also woke his three young children ages 3, 7, and 11 and put them in a Stockton police patrol car with him. Officers then searched his house.
As it turned out, the person law enforcement was looking for was not there - Wright's estranged wife.

"They put me in handcuffs in that hot patrol car for six hours, traumatizing my kids," Wright said.

Wright said he later went to the mayor and Stockton Police Department, but the City of Stockton had nothing to do with Wright's search warrant.

The U.S. Department of Education issued the search and called in the S.W.A.T for his wife's defaulted student loans.

"They busted down my door for this," Wright said. "It wasn't even me."

According to the Department of Education's Office of the Inspector General, the case can't be discussed publicly until it is closed, but a spokesperson did confirm that the department did issue the search warrant at Wright's home.

The Office of the Inspector General has a law enforcement branch of federal agents that carry out search warrants and investigations.

Stockton Police Department said it was asked by federal agents to provide one officer and one patrol car just for a police presence when carrying out the search warrant.

Stockton police did not participate in breaking Wright's door, handcuffing him, or searching his home.

"All I want is an apology for me and my kids and for them to get me a new door," Wright said.

Eliminate the Department of Education.

Ron Paul 2012.

[qwexas]

The Department of Education, people think is so necessary, so sacred, it would be crazy to eliminate - didn't even exist until 1980, since then other nations have surpassed us in education, and this bureaucracy has absorbed billions of our tax dollars.

Ron Paul wants to eliminate the DoE. This is a very good reason to vote for him.

This is why the people need to have guns and be trained with them, to defend themselves from thug, nazi federal swat teams. We're rapidly losing our rights in this country and the gov't has become extremely hostile. Our desire for freedom will be measured solely by our willingness to suffer and die for it. People need to get this through their heads. More importantly, people need to regain their sense of community and join together as Americans. Nobody can fight this monster alone.
