‘Government schools have become indoctrination centers spearheaded by inadequate and insidious leadership who are intent on corrupting America’s children,’ said USPIE Founder and President Sheri Few
COLUMBIA, S.C. — A New York school board vice president who has been charged with sexual offenses against children has been awarded the July 2026 Millstone of the Month from United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE). This monthly award from USPIE is given to the person involved in government schools who has committed the most egregious acts against children.
Travis Barr Longo, 46, was arrested by the New York State Police following an investigation into allegations that he engaged in a pattern of sexually explicit digital communications with a child under the age of 12, according to Fox News.
Longo, who serves as vice president of the Cazenovia Central School District Board of Education and has boasted of being the first drag queen elected to a school board, faces four counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
“I wish this were an isolated case, but sadly, that isn’t the reality,” said Sheri Few, Founder and President of USPIE. “Parents have a right to know who will be educating their children and demand adequate and appropriate educators.
“School is supposed to be a safe place where children can learn math, science and reading. Instead, government schools have become indoctrination centers spearheaded by inadequate and insidious leadership who are intent on corrupting America’s children.”
Investigators uncovered “numerous images and videos of child pornography” during a search of Longo’s cell phone on June 18, “including several videos depicting the sexual abuse of infants that Longo had received from other users of an internet-based messaging application,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
According to court records obtained by WSYR-TV, police also “recovered other chats on the device in which Longo discussed with other individuals his sexual interest in children, including a minor male child known to him and to whom he has had access.”
“In addition to this story,” Few said, “there are other news headlines, such as: ‘New Jersey “MAGA mom” school board member allegedly targeted in “vile” text scandal: “They wanted me dead”’ and ‘Judge dismisses charges against convicted sex offender.’ Isn’t it telling how bad things are in government schools when we have so many nominees to consider each month for this award?”
To hear more from USPIE’s Founder and President, Sheri Few, tune in to the latest episode of USPIE’s podcast, “Unmasking Government Schools with Sheri Few,” on Tuesday, July 7, where Few is joined by Mike Stenhouse, a former Major League Baseball player who now leads one of the most dynamic policy organizations in the country, the Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity. His team recently filed a lawsuit against the state’s Department of Education on behalf of “Jane Doe,” the girl’s mother, and is fighting to repeal the regulation that enabled this secret transition. USPIE’s “Unmasking Government Schools with Sheri Few” is a weekly podcast that exposes the dangers of education shaped by government bureaucrats and social engineers, while exploring practical ways to protect children and preserve America’s freedom. Listen to “Unmasking Government Schools with Sheri Few” on YouTube, Facebook, Spotify and X.
United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) is a nonprofit, nationwide coalition that is fighting to return education to its proper local roots and restore parental authority over their children’s education by helping parents and local communities to escape federal and other national influences. It is the vision of USPIE to create a culture where parents, empowered with the authority to choose what and how their children learn, are the undisputed primary educators of their children, where local schools operate in support of families, and where education is unencumbered by federal mandates.
USPIE’s powerful documentary, “Truth & Lies in American Education,” addresses some of the most glaring issues in the American education system and helps parents experience a paradigm shift in how they think about education and the role of their local schools. The film follows Few’s daughter-in-law, April, as she seeks to learn more about the system she was planning on exposing to her own children and learns the shocking truth. “Truth & Lies in American Education” is available for streaming on SalemNOW, as well as on DVD.
