Wake Up America: Another Liberal Agenda Exposed

Posted on 02/15/2003 8:38:34 AM PST by Empireofhawks

A few weeks ago my son got into trouble at school, nothing serious, but the school wanted him to go through a process of what is called restorative justice. I agreed after I learned that Florida Governor Jeb Bush and several other leaders in the GOP support this idea. We were referred to a group called the Council on Reconciliation and Restorative and Transformative Justice (CORRTJ). It was not until after the dust had settled that we discovered what we had gotten ourselves into.

A few weeks ago my son got into trouble at school, nothing serious, but the school wanted him to go through a process of what is called restorative justice. I agreed after I learned that Florida Governor Jeb Bush and several other leaders in the GOP support this idea. We were referred to a group called the Council on Reconciliation and Restorative and Transformative Justice (CORRTJ). It was not until after the dust had settled that we discovered what we had gotten ourselves into. It was a friend who saw this group in reference antiwar groups on this site that called attention to something being very wrong.

This group that works with kids in schools throughout the US (especially Idaho, Colorado, California, Florida, Texas and Maine) has a radical, and I do mean radical anti-war, anti-everything agenda.

Check out this page at In our Name? to get a feel for how they have stepped over the live of working with kids, to messing in politics.

Last year this group was working with the Anarchist Black Cross in Houston and Austin, Texas. Anti American Activities

They are connected with something called Healing of Persons Exceptional in South Paris Maine, No Hope Ken Hamilton is the leader of the Maine effort. Ken is an admitted practicing Shaman, Reiki Master, and can do an exorcism you remove the devil from your soul. He works very closely with the school officals in Maine.

Other known affiliations of CORRTJ include (Center for Justice, Peace and Environment in Fort Collins, Colorado), Fresno Pacific College (very radical school), Palouse Peace Coalition (The founder of CORRTJ now lives in Moscow, Idaho and is very active in the newly formed Palouse Peace Coalition. A source told me this group is the most radical leftist organization in Northern Idaho/Eastern Washington. A couple of weeks ago they did a presentation on the campus of Washington State University that was so radical that they received complaints from the community.

This group has been endorsed by some of the more radical young actors in Hollywood: Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Taran Smith and Zachery Ty Bryan have allowed their names and pictures to be included on their propaganda. (You'll see some of that at Anti-war Page

Most of the people working on this effort are Quakers and refuse to affirm their loyalty toward President Bush. What more do we need to know?

My son wants to know why they are bringing in people from New Zealand to do a training? What does New Zealand know about our justice system?

It is time for America to wake up and pay some attention to what is going on around them.

I can't believe that Gov. Bush knows about this and supports it. He's been up front in the fight to improve our schools, supporting homeschooling and fighting for vouchers all the way to the FSC and the District Court of Appeals.

Jeb Bush does read (and often responds to) e-mails. He's the first person you should go to for help.

E-mail Jeb Bush

I especially like #4 - the democrat credo!

The Council on Reconciliation and Restorative and Transformative Justice:
Principles of Restorative Justice
  1. Law and justice are not synonymous terms.
  2. Restorative justice requires a balanced focus on the needs of offenders, victims and community.
  3. Ownership of the restorative process must belong to the community.
  4. There is no such thing as a victimless crime. Every crime has at least one victim - the offender.
  5. Offenders, victims and community members must reach consensus on what needs to be done to heal the harm of crime.
  6. Offender and victim participation in the restorative process must be voluntary.
  7. The restorative process must be culturally sensitive.
  8. Opportunities for healing offenders, victims and community must occur at four levels: physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual.
  9. Success is full reintegration into the community for offenders and victims upon completion of the restorative contract.
  10. Offenders and victims work together to find that of God in each other, for the benefit of the common good of the community.

Please, please, send all this information to the Governor. Surely he doesn't know about these people; surely he does not condone introdoctrination by these people. It would seem quite obvious to me the Gov knows nothing about this and you should make your mission to make sure he finds out.

So did I, Empire. What a lot of busybodies are working daily to undermine all that's good about America.

What we need is a required course for liberals titled: "Mind Your Own Business - you really don't know more than the next guy."

Can you link to where Jeb Bush supports this as you said please, or I will consider your thread nothing more than a liberal attempt to smear Jeb Bush.


Thanks and oh and welcome to Free Republic since I see you have just signed up...

Don't take this wrong but you said he knows so link me to the fact...

EmpireofHawks, I too am curious why you logged onto FR with a screen name like "EmpireofHawks" -- and immediately linked Gov Bush's name with this particular organization, without any link whatsoever to back up your claim.

BTW, guess what? Like you, I have "heard" thinks about Gov. Bush -- in fact, I have "heard" Gov Bush is a member of the Bush family "crime cartel" -- but, that doesn't mean I believe it.

Finally, this may be just a coincidence, but it never surprises me that disruptors often choose screennames that some here will surely like, such as: "I HATE HILLARY."

What is telling is he won't answer. I smell commie rat but as you know I have been wrong on that before. :>)

But I think this is a commie rat thread and he has had enough time to answer and this thread should be pulled. I will let you do the abuse button if you wish.

Anyways how have you been?

Oh, I've been fine, and very busy; thanks, TLBSHOW. I hope you've been well, too. I will let others hit abuse, as whomever this poster may be is not bothering me -- maybe it's because I have finally developed a thicker skin! :)

The "common good" phrase in #10 is a dead give-away that these freakin' idiots are simply misnamed Communists.
