Children in headscarves seen being brought into notorious Minneapolis daycare hit by fraud allegations as local claims misspelt sign was just a 'printing error'
Children in headscarves were seen entering an infamous misspelt sign daycare at the center of the Minnesota Somali fraud scandal.
Children in headscarves were seen entering an infamous misspelled daycare sign at the center of the Minnesota Somali fraud scandal, with one local woman insisting that the error was just a printing mistake.
The Quality Learing (sic) Center in Minneapolis was thrust into the spotlight last week after independent journalist Nick Shirley shared footage of the facility apparently devoid of youngsters despite receiving millions of dollars in funding.
Independent journalist Ivory Hecker went to the facility on Tuesday and spoke with daycare consultant Lafayette Butler-Robinson, who defended the misspelling.
When asked by Hecker why the word learning was misspelled, Butler-Robinson simply said, 'That was a printing error.'
As the two spoke, two young Muslim girls in headscarves and a little boy were seen exiting a van and being ushered into the building.
When Hecker asked how long the erroneous sign had been up, Butler-Robinson replied, 'I do not know.'
'The printer, now that you guys have put the printer at bay, now the printer is reprinting that up again,' Butler-Robinson said.
'Sometimes it's just hard to get printers to come out in the wintertime as the weather changes to put up new signage. Because we had different types of weather elements going on, it was just delayed.
