January 2022 - School Board Comments
Parent comments made at School Board meetings during January 2022 (names omitted)
Topics: mental illness, child abuse, discrimination
There is a growing body of evidence on the psychological harm being done to children by mistreatment and abuse by staff and Covid policies that underscores the overwhelming reports of parents regarding emotional and mental damage experienced by their children. There is a plethora of peer reviewed science informing us of the dangers and physical harm being done but the lack of systematic tracking of VAERS data for psychological trauma fuels the silent killers of suicide, PTSD, severe depression and anxiety, mental breakdowns, self-harm practices, and substance abuses. This is culminating into a catastrophic epidemic of proportions which remain to be acknowledged. In addition, mental health facilities are overwhelmed with youth in numbers never before seen and are unable to serve the demand, grades are dropping significantly, psychological terror and anxiety of displaying a sneeze or a cough,
Discrimination against a certain group of children with forced testing is not legal or lawful. The Test to Stay policy is an offer to contract which has legal standing to be refused as it violates the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Nuremberg code. This policy is an outgrowth of Esser funds received in exchange for following “Covid 19”policies set forth by the Administration and the CDC which violate children and their inalienable rights. There was a database previously available to the public to look up the amount of out of the 125B Covid funds sent to each district. It has since been taken down which is an odd way to encourage confidence. In the spirit of transparency, we would like you to let us know how much money you received and how it is being spent. We look forward to receiving that information in a public forum.
The baseline epidemiological fact that there is no isolate of covid nor will there ever be, makes these tests meaningless notwithstanding how dangerous they are with children having seizures, brain damage, severe headaches lasting for days, chronic nose bleeds, infections etc. Children’s safety is not assured as JHU has confirmed they developed thermogripper technology to be vaccinated with the swab used in either a PCR or Antigen test. Additionally, it is confirmed the Antigen test contains Sodium Azide, which is acutely poisonous.
Let the record reflect, We do not comply with constitutionally protected rights of children being violated. No emergency usurps the Constitution. We ask to be provided the Criminal Law and or State statute passed by the legislature and voted into the law or statutes by the people. Until then, we demand you cease and desist all Covid policies under US code title 18, chapter 13, sections 241 & 242.
Topics: Problematic books
Good evening. My name is ______. I have a request for you to remove a dangerous book found in the holdings of Rock Creek Elementary School.
The Book is titled, ‘A is for Activist’. The claim is that it is appropriate for ages 3 to 7, but when I describe its contents, I trust that you will agree with me that it is not appropriate for that age group. The book is marketed as a tool for teaching elementary students their ABC’s. The actual purpose is to indoctrinate these very young students into the Marxist ideology.
The opening quickly gets down to business. ‘A is for Activist’ it states. It makes clever use of alliteration to urge these young students to ‘Actively Answer a call – any call – to action’. Are you an advocate? An abolitionist (meaning a de-funder of police)? Are you an activist?!
It waits until the letter X to identify one of its ideal activist models: Malcolm X, an advocate of human rights in the 1960’s who righteously asserted, "We declare our right on this earth to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day,” but to which he added, “We intend to bring [this] into existence by any means necessary."
‘A is for Activist’ is not an ABC book; it is a primer on Marxism. Under the letter ‘R’ it celebrates its role models for our children: Radical Reds, Ruinous Radicals and Rabble Rousing Riff Raff.
‘C’ is for ‘cat’ – the one nod in the list to anything traditional in elementary education. But then it adds, “C is for Co-op, a Creative Counter to Corporate Vultures’.
I’d say the most disturbing entry is under the letter ‘M’. “M is for May Day,” a holiday created by socialists, communists and anarchists. It suggests that our young students become members of marching bands, with megaphones as their instruments.
The purpose of ‘A is for Activist’ is to subvert the social order of the United States, not to teach our children to read or write. I urge you to remove it from the library shelves at Rock Creek Elementary School.
Topics: Sticking to basics in teaching, CRT, equality
I’m here to speak to you about the importance of focusing on teaching. More specifically about teaching the basics: Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. We used to be in the top 5 but in 2022 we’re #13. We were one of the best. TSD is not living up to the standard parents expect and that needs to be addressed.
In place of the basics, I feel too much emphasis is placed on CRT. You say it isn’t taught at Tahoma but it is through Teacher projection. This is divisive and confusing to kids who are learning how to navigate relationships, friendships, misunderstandings and disagreements. These kids need to learn how to work together and compromise, something they’re not seeing a lot of from the community, teachers, staff, upper grades and yes: parents. My way or the highway is an awful, divisive way to handle disagreements but many parents see that push here. If you insist on covering this in school then make it an honest dialogue that doesn’t divert discussions to always accuse students of hatred. Communicate inclusiveness and acceptance no matter what you look like, in spite of what you look like! These special committees force-feeding and shaming people into accepting visual differences should be offering the tools to guide them to similarities that foster good discussions. Anyone that knows me know I accept everyone no matter their race, gender, whatever. I teach my kids the same-- get to know a person with an open mind. Yes, sometimes you just won’t get along and that’s OK! I HATE that people should be seen FIRST as whatever their outward appearance is. It’s OK if you disagree or aren’t “friends” as long as we all respect each other. What happened to celebrating our differences? To be proud of us as we are? We should ALL be able to celebrate ourselves! I can’t help but wonder how you dare implement a program that teaches our children to judge their peers on what they look like rather than who they are.
I believe in equal rights, not SPECIAL rights and that’s what this crazy push in the school system has come to. This hits me personally because my daughters are docked points applying to colleges because of quotas maxing out the number of Asians accepted and that’s Bull! After they’ve worked their butts off to go to college, they face the fact that it may not happen because their race is limited to make room for someone else: based on the color of THEIR skin! Where’s the equality or equity in that? I have a Senior this year and the level of learning and accountability for pushing themselves has deteriorated. It’s not in her best interest to let her skate by. She and all students need to be challenged and I feel that’s not happening. My older daughter was at the top of her class, AP student, Honors, etc. At graduation she was so much more prepared for college in comparison to my Senior this year. On paper she was amazing and one would think she could get into any college she wanted. Unfortunately, that’s not exactly true because of quotas. The statistics are here, found on the Public School Review site under the Tahoma School District. Math 68% and Reading 76% Proficiency. THIS is where the focus should be, not DEI.
