Speaking truth to school boards
American Thinker ^ | 13 Mar, 2024 | Pete Colan

This is a story you won’t see in the mainstream media. If this can happen in a rural Indiana town of only 15,000 people in a Republican “fly-over” state, it can happen in your town.

A brave 11-year-old girl spoke out at a Lebanon, Indiana school board meeting earlier this year on January 16, 2024 in which she describes how she and other girls are forced to share a locker room with a boy while at school.

“I’m here to discuss the matter of a male being in the female locker room. Imagine this is you -- you’re an 11-year-old girl who is coming into school thinking that they’re in a safe environment. You go to PE to get ready in the locker room and you see a boy in there. The first time you saw them, you panicked. Do I change in front of the boy? I feel like I’m doing something wrong. Do I take my shirt off? Do I take my pants off? He is doing so, so I think I should. I see him standing there, in his underwear. That was the first time I saw a boy half-naked -- in a school that’s supposed to be safe.”

“I wanted to cry. I felt so uncomfortable. The only thing I’m asking for is that all students can change in a locker room that is matched to their gender. If they don’t feel comfortable changing, they could change in a private space alone

SNIP

By the applause at the end, obviously there were many parents and community there for support. And obviously, you don’t address the school board unless you’ve exhausted all your options directly with administration. The board thanked her and moved on to other business.

Where did all the marxists come from?

Too many of them in the public school systems, is my guess.

Marxists in positions of power come from people who value inconsequential characteristics and then vote them into power. Voters also ignore serious red flags. Being a teacher running for a school board is one.
Leftists concern themselves with exactly one characteristic, does the candidate have a leftist world view.

“The board thanked her and moved on to other business.”

In a sane country there’d be School Board members running for their lives if they even thought about pulling this crap.

Modesty is now a neurosis, isn’t it? There’s something wrong with a girl if she’s uncomfortable undressing in front of other people.
Thank heavens I was homeschooled. My offspring will never set foot in a public school, except to vote.

Most school boards are run by Karens. For the most part, talking to them is like talking to a brick wall. As an added bonus, Creepy Joe’s DOJ will put you on a list of domestic terrorists.

“In a sane country there’d be School Board members running for their lives if they even thought about pulling this crap.”

I keep saying that! If the consequences amount to an eleven year old girl making a speech and some parents applauding, why would these Marxists give you the time of day? It won’t take many for the point to be made: Americans are tired of the woke, queer world and are doing something about it.

Burn the public school system to the ground.

They are politicians.
There is only one word that political types fear.
Recall.
Use it.
Solve the problem

Alinsky’s rules for radicals—the young ones better get up to speed:

“Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
“Never go outside the expertise of your people.”
“Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
“A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
“A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
“Keep the pressure on.”
“The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”
“The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”
“If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative.”
“The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
