IS OUR CHILDREN LEARING? ‘Quality Learing Center’ memes go viral after Nick Shirley’s Minnesota fraud video.

Social media platforms have flooded with memes and viral jokes surrounding the “Quality Learing Center” after conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley’s Minnesota daycare fraud video spread widely online.

The footage of seemingly empty daycare facilities that allegedly received millions in state and federal funds had a sign up with the word “learning” misspelt as “learing.”

In the 42-minute investigative video, Shirley highlights a sign reading “Quality Learing Center,” a licensed daycare centre that appeared shuttered on a weekday with no children visible, despite allegedly receiving significant taxpayer funds.

In an exclusive interview with The New York Post, a resident says that he had never seen children enter the place before December 29. According to the resident, the parking lot was always empty.

In the video, which was released on December 26, Shirley is seen asking the person answering the door to the center, “You do realize there’s supposed to be 99 children here in this building, and there’s no one here?”

Republican House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who represents St. Cloud and the Twin Cities suburbs, attacked Governor Tim Walz in response to the video.

He wrote on X, “4 million dollars of hard-earned tax dollars going to an education center that can’t even spell learning correctly. Care to explain this one, Tim Walz?”

No word yet if the Quality Learing Center is expanding its franchises, though the Second City seems like a logical next step:
