The First Amendment of The
Constitution of Our United States of America ensures us that our Government “shall make no law…abridging the freedom of
speech…or the right of the people…to petition the Government for a redress of
grievances.”
Unfortunately, we have inadvertently
created such laws and, what’s worst, they are openly enforced inside of our
Public School buildings.
Board Members of the Board of Education
(Department of Education) are
appointed by the Mayor and by each of the Borough Presidents, whom are all Government
Officials. “All members serve at the
pleasure of the official who appointed them.”
Why do we have Government Officials not
responding to and thus condoning the abuse of power that goes rampant in our Public
Schools; particularly the abuse of power used deliberately to threaten,
intimidate, harass, and muzzle well intended advocates to our future minds; the
children?
Why are Government Officials stripping our
Non-Tenured Colleagues from their constitutional rights to speak-up and
advocate against abusive leaders by pushing to eliminate tenureship and/or making
it difficult to attain? It is an abusive administrator’s dream to have a school
building filled with Non-Tenured Educators whom are all well aware and are often
reminded of the fact that they can easily be terminated with no representation
if they were to dare challenge any form of abuse observed or refuse to become
an accomplice to abuse.
Look at the hypocrisy here - One
Government Agency (Child Protective Services,
CPS / Administration for Children Services, ACS), deems Educators to be “Mandated
Reporters” to Abusive Behavior and another Government Agency, (Department of Education), condones the threatening,
intimidation, and harassment of Educators for Reporting Abusive Behavior.
We, the people, should not allow for abusive
leaders that work for our Government to continue to enforce laws which directly
abridge an Educator’s constitutional right,
power, and human responsibility to speak-up and stand-up against abusive
behavior and against laws that abridge an Educator’s right to petition our Government for a redress of such grievances!
I have great faith that many beautiful
souls will soon come together to help model to our young developing minds, whom
eventually will be in-charge of our future, the immense pride and honor behind
the word united in our United States Government. Thank you immensely for your time and energy
in this very important matter. Much love to everyone.
