Retiring teacher, coach urges Colony grads to ‘find their 68’

I attended the combined Borough Assembly/School Board meeting held in September. And I will be at their next joint meeting tonight at 6 p.m. at Palmer High School.
The district 2010-11 budget presented at these meetings is a gross misuse of public funds, including unconstitutional spending. Jokes were made in regards to ways to raise more funds from the public. There is a $3 million “shortfall” due to non-payment by Barack Obama of “stimulus funds,” funds, which our government did not have. It is against the law to give false representation, commit fraud and bribery. The fact that his citizenship has not been verified confirms to me his dishonesty and unlawful position as President, which makes all legislation signed by him illegal. He will attempt to maintain power and control through martial law and our country will be attacked.
The district’s 2010-11 budget includes:
• $81.5 million for benefits (this is unconstitutional),
• approximately $90 million for “other” expenses,
• $400,000 for staff travel and
• $418,000 for student travel
• $10.5 million for administration and support and over
• $100 million for certified and non-certified salaries
The district wants to cut music, library and PE, extend the school day and year, and passed the spending of $400,000 for math tutoring for teachers. They passed a busing contract to First Student following lengthy discussion that included multiple parent, maintenance, staffing and safety complaints and concerns. First Student had presented the lowest bid. Lowest does not mean best or safest. Student safety comes first.
Mr. Burnley has stated: “Math is the gateway to Civil Rights.” “This is a conservative community, but we can work around that,” regarding lengthening the school day and year, and, “The public can make comments, but I make the decisions.” He has referred to life skills — personal accountability, time management, goal setting, etc, as “soft skills.” Mr. Burnley is deceptive in his communications at School Board and Borough Assembly meetings. I have attended both for eight months and have heard him speak. I have read his comments in the paper.
The topic of civics instruction was discussed this last week. The School Board wants to fund new carpet in the schools. I visited Wasilla High School several weeks ago during lunchtime. There were at least 50 students sitting on the carpet in two halls eating their lunch. Most did not move their feet to allow me to pass. There was food and garbage on the floor. I spoke to the principal who called in the vice principal, who stood over me. He stated he had read my article in the paper and its “judgment” of him. I told him I stated the truth as to what I had seen and heard. I mentioned the School Board’s bond for new carpeting and that food should not be allowed in carpeted areas, nor should students be eating on the floor. There is a commons area with tile floors and three of the tables were not down for use. It is not just about having food and garbage on the carpet, but manners and respect for themselves, others and property. He said, “I run this school.”
I took the time to tour Palmer High School following the board meeting. Mr. Vig’s door is still painted with a demonic image. I have been told it is “gothic” or “greek mythology.” There are other murals and artwork that are evil. There is a full-service espresso bar for students. A teacher had a flyer enabling homosexual/bi-sexual/transgender “alternative lifestyles.” A teacher at Houston High School has told students they do not have to listen to parents.
Greek Mythology is the practice of worshiping false gods. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, which effects brain, heart, lung and other nervous system functions. It is addictive, highly acidic, a diuretic and compromises calcium absorption. It causes fatigue and insomnia. Sexual immorality of any kind is a sin second only to murder. The food served is poor in nutrition. All of these destroy minds, bodies and spirits. Our children are then medicated for “behaviors” and placed in “emotionally disturbed” classrooms. I brought up the fact that in the early ’80s there was one such classroom. Almost every school has them now and all of these issues need to be addressed and stopped.
I would like to remind Mr. Burnley, the School Board and staff of the Mat-Su School District and Borough Assembly that they are all public servants, are paid with tax dollars from citizens of this Borough, and are accountable to us under the Constitution — not the other way around. Schools are an extension of the home and family.
What we are seeing across this nation is failure of parents teaching the basic principles of faith, obedience, virtue, respect and responsibility; failure of schools to support and expand on it, and the business community promoting and profiting from it.
The School Board has settled contract negotiations with the MSEA under union hire. Every public servant has taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. Using union hire in public service divides loyalty between God and Constitution and the Union, comprising that oath. The NEA and other Unions are responsible for the introduction and instruction of immoral, unhealthy, and Socialist/Fascist/Communist agendas. That tells me one thing and the citizens of this borough and nation better be concerned and have their eyes wide open to where it is going.
I have asked and demanded before the Borough Assembly and School Board the last eight months for non-union/tenure hire; classical education; provide whole food nutrition to students or serve nothing; dress/behavior/language standards for students and staff; Constitutional fiscal responsibility and the dismissal of Mr. Burnley, Mr. Vig, and now the principals of Wasilla and Palmer High Schools and any other staff that supports or promotes the above ideals. Nothing has changed.
The parents and community have a responsibility to our children, youth and country to teach and speak up for what is right for their safety and education as they are our future parents and leaders, I personally want them leading in a Christian, Democratic Republic, with government by the people for the people, not a select few under a Godless Socialist/Facsict/Communist dictatorship.
Every dictatorship in history removed the influence of God, controlled the food supply, energy, education and finance; subsidized the idle at the expense of those who worked, drove their nations into excessive debt, brainwashed the youth, established “brown shirts, snitches, citizen armies,” and murdered the elderly, infirm and those that opposed them, which led to war. They were all immoral and raised themselves up as gods. Sodom and Gomorrah, Rome, Greece, the Berlin Wall and Hitler fell for a reason. Our children and elderly are warehoused in government-funded schools/daycares/facilities, brainwashed, poorly fed and medicated.
Someone asked me once, “Who would have thought this would happen in America?” I replied, “I did, it is all in the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants.” I encourage you all to read them. They are specific to America and are written for our time. They had the same exact conflict in government. An outside enemy attacked while they were divided. The Chief Judge of the land was killed. Corrupt judges and lawyers were ruling and Christians were killed. At the direction of the Governor, the righteous were told to repent in order to have God’s protection and gathered to a place of safety with their families, flocks, herds and tents against the chaos. An Anti-Christ arose and the people divided in to tribes and established their own laws, Massive natural disasters occurred followed by Christ’s appearance after His resurrection.
If I could say anything, it would be this: The Lord is in charge and He will come. There are four books of scripture that bear witness of it. Darwin has nothing. There is a Prophet of God on the Earth today and we have been counseled to repent, have pure hearts; store food, water, emergency kits, cash and means to be self reliant against famine and attack and defend the Constitution, liberty, property and families with honor and integrity. It is unconstitutional and against the law for the government to legislate against these freedoms.
Attend local government meetings and be a voice. Write our state and federal officials to hold them accountable. I know for myself that these things are true, speaking up works, and encourage all to listen and obey God and his prophets for protection and safety. Pray and ask him for yourselves where He would have you be and what he would have you do.
