Millions of dollars in taxpayer money stolen as part of a series of massive Minnesota welfare fraud schemes may have been funneled to Somalia-based terror group al-Shabab, according to a report.

The radical Islamic terror group, which is a longstanding ally of al Qaeda and considered a threat to US interests, has likely been the beneficiary of money stolen in a spate of scamsand sent to Somalia by the criminals defrauding the North Star State, City Journal reported Wednesday, citing federal counterterrorism sources.

“This is a third-rail conversation, but the largest funder of al-Shabab is the Minnesota taxpayer,” a source who worked on a federal investigation into Minnesotans attempting to join overseas terror groups, told the outlet.

Both the metric and the need for the metric are supported by data. It’s not reasonable to have lower expectations for individual students and then not account for the ratio of those students when judging the whole.

My point there wasn't that it isn’t relevant or important but just that I find this data point to be a bit too granular for me to draw any broad conclusions from.
