State agencies in Republican-controlled Indiana are providing taxpayer dollars and marketing assistance to a far-left organization that is bringing two prominent critical race theory activists to a statewide teachers’ conference this summer.
Indiana Black Expo, a group that bills itself as “celebrat[ing] cultural diversity and inclusiveness across all races, ethnicities, nationalities, generations, socioeconomic levels and religious affiliations,” will host its annual education conference from July 13 to 15. Dena Simmons and Dr. Bettina L. Love, two activists who frequently rake in thousands from taxpayers to lecture on “systemic racism,” will deliver keynote speeches. Both did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment.
Simmons became the subject of national controversy earlier this year when whistleblower teachers in Naperville, Illinois, documented her publicly funded training accusing “whiteness” of damaging education. In a widely viewed YouTube video , Simmons says those who do not support “antiracism” in education — an ideology that charges the United States with “systemic racism” and accused people of evil based on their inborn skin color — are “white supremacists.”
“Whiteness will do whatever is necessary to protect its power. People will die of whiteness before giving it up,” Simmons wrote in an Instagram post in March. Simmons has also praised the error-riddled , racially charged, and anti-American New York Times school curricula known as the 1619 Project.
More than 5,000 teachers and professionals attended the Indiana Black Expo last year, most of them working in public institutions. The title of this year’s conference is: “Education Equity: The Role of Schools and Universities in Leveling the Playing Field.” Familiar People, Familiar Topics
Black Expo President Tanya McKinzie did not respond to an inquiry asking how much Simmons and Love are being paid for their speeches. Several state agencies fund the outfit with taxpayer dollars.
“This year’s theme, ‘Education Equity: The Role of Schools and Universities in Leveling the Playing Field,’ presents an opportunity to explore approaches to enhance culturally responsive culture in our schools and universities,” McKinzie told The Federalist.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
