A Virginia high school assistant principal and his brother were arrested for plotting to assassinate ICE agents and law enforcement officers, exposing how radical leftist ideology has infiltrated our education system at the highest administrative levels.
Brothers Arrested at Norfolk Airport After Overheard Assassination Plot
Mark Bennett, 59, and John Bennett, 54, were taken into custody at Norfolk International Airport on November 19th after an off-duty Norfolk police officer overheard their assassination plot discussion. The officer was dining at a Virginia Beach restaurant on November 15th when he witnessed the brothers planning violence against ICE agents, whom they accused of “kidnapping individuals.” John Bennett serves as assistant principal at Kempsville High School in Virginia Beach, raising serious concerns about radical extremists holding positions of authority over American children.

Detailed Planning Reveals Sophisticated Terror Plot
According to the criminal complaint, Mark Bennett told his brother about purchasing an assault rifle specifically equipped with “explosive rounds that are needed to penetrate the vests” worn by law enforcement. The elder Bennett planned to fly to Las Vegas to meet with other extremists and return with “enforcement ideas and plans.” John Bennett expressed enthusiasm for the plot, stating he wanted to “go hunting” and showed interest in accompanying his brother to the Nevada meeting. This level of planning demonstrates a serious threat to federal immigration enforcement personnel.
Education System Compromised by Radical Administrators
The arrest of John Bennett exposes how deeply leftist extremism has penetrated America’s public school system. This assistant principal, responsible for educating and protecting students, was simultaneously plotting violence against federal agents enforcing immigration law. Bennett’s background includes a one-year stint in police work before returning to education as a high school mathematics teacher and administrator. His placement on administrative leave following the arrest provides little comfort to parents concerned about who holds positions of trust in their children’s schools.

Pattern of Educational Indoctrination and Violence
This incident represents part of a broader pattern of radical leftist ideology infiltrating American education. School administrators and teachers have increasingly embraced extreme political positions that directly oppose constitutional law enforcement and traditional American values. The Bennett case demonstrates how this ideological corruption can escalate from classroom indoctrination to actual terrorist plotting. Parents across America must demand accountability and thorough background investigations for all school personnel, particularly those in leadership positions who shape educational policy and student instruction daily.
