Clever School District Bond -- Heads Up!

 

Arise and Take Charge

“Unless the people, through unified action, arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them. Independence and liberty will be gone, and the general public will find itself in a condition of servitude to an aggregation of organized and selfish interest.” --Calvin Coolidge

Harvard's Black Swan Event Has Huge Implications For Diversity, Inclusion, Equity

 That Harvard's plagiarist President Claudine Gay was forced to resign in order to stop the credibility bleed at the university, is great news for local government schools. What happens at the university level percolates down to the K-12 educational institutions, as well as business.

DIE, or DEI has been implemented in our local Christian County Schools. Administrators and school boards should expect to be held accountable for its implementation. It's one reason why there is chaos in our schools, whether it is how testing is done, how students are disciplined, how they are taught to feel about themselves and others, and so on. 

On X, Bill Ackman, the CEO of Pershing Square, wrote a post about it. He said in part, "But as we all know, our higher education system (HES) is critically important as it can affect and influence the minds of our younger generations, thereby profoundly impacting the lives of all of us. The HES can affect what’s taught to toddlers and what is taught in elementary and high schools, as ed schools train the next generation of teachers and superintendents, and design the curricula they teach. The HES can convince a generation that some of us are oppressors, and others are the oppressed, and provide justifications for what kinds and what degree of violence and terrorism are appropriate tools to address this perceived oppression. The HES can affect our medical establishments and the ethics of medicine, e.g., some of our most controversial procedures and medicines, and the advisability of their use on children, and so on. You get the point, I am sure."

In the short video below, Ayaan Hirsi Ali also discusses how Diversity Inclusion, and Equity can affect local schools, and how important it is that this pernicious agenda be destroyed. The Harvard Black Swan Event is also our opportunity to divest our local schools of DIE. Watch:

Clever School Board Votes to Max Out Their Bond

 

The election for Clever voters to approve/disapprove the bond is April 2, 2024, which is the General Municipal Election. The bond is for over $16 million. Other local school districts have also voted to max out their bonds.

As Retha Holland says in the video, it's a BONDEMIC. Holland shares how school board members in districts all over the state are pressured to make financial (and other) decisions as one, which is a feature of the "training" that the Missouri School Boards Association gives to board members.

As Holland says, these bonds are usually 20-year debts, which are added on to as time and finances permit. This means that the kids in the schools now will eventually be paying on that same debt if they decide to stay in Clever.

Currently, 80% of property taxes goes to the Clever School District--which is the highest in Christian County.

Keep up with Patrick and Retha Holland at Missouri Freedom Initiative. Lots of information about state and local politics.

Never Give Up, Never Give In

Our Schools are in Trouble

 

Are you done allowing your kindness to be weaponized against you and your family?

Or do we just need more SEL to further drill violent CRT and Trans Cult rhetoric into the minds of children in K-12?#NashvilleManifesto pic.twitter.com/m2NP12ncW1

How to "Unravel" Your School District's Finances: Must Watch

 

 

Right now, the penchant of Missouri school districts to ask for ever-increasing tax dollars while there is little to no correlation between student academic scores and monies spent, is becoming a major issue. In fact there is a move to max out bond capacities in several local school districts in April 2024. 

The Missouri Freedom Initiative has it right. "The elephant in the room that districts don't want exposed is a very clear trend of steadily decreasing attendance in most Missouri school districts." Host Patrick Holland says this will be addressed in future videos.

At seven minutes in a tutorial begins that shows Missourians how to access their school districts financials on the DESE website. More than excellent.

Local Schools are not Locally Governed

 

Over at Ozark Schools Support Team, you will find an analysis of the Missouri School Boards Association's (MSBA) Advocacy Positions for its upcoming annual conference on Nov. 3.

The Delegate Assembly Handbook is a revelation of third-party entity control, including the state and federal governments. The MSBA is a private, non-profit organization, yet it wields immense control over local school districts whose school boards are members of the Association.

The MSBA's advocacy positions push hard for more centralized control of schools. You will read such things as:

"Under Tax Credits on P. 4, the MSBA calls for the capping of "potential reductions of state revenue." They even support suspending "issuance of all tax credits until the statutory funding obligations of the state are met." What do you wanna bet the taxpayer would never see another tax credit implemented?"

And this:

"The MSBA's advocacy positions go on, P. 3. The organization supports giving school districts more options for "raising local revenue, including sales taxes." Yes, they now want a piece of the sales tax pie. I hope local elected officials are aware."

And this:

"In fact, the MSBA thinks school boards should have legal standing when tax abatement programs for residential building projects are considered, to the point that they may "participate in all phases of the process...[and] shall have veto power over their portion of any tax abatement project." 

Go read the shared notes here. You have to read it to believe it.

Just What is DIE? UPDATE

 

 

By Gretchen Garrity

 Been having a back-and-forth with a commenter regarding the terms and meanings of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE) on this post. The latest comment:

"Anonymous October 4, 2023 at 9:33 AM

I apologize if you feel attacked. I was simply asking a question. It's a common battle cry of the magas: "no CRT, no DEI". But when I've actually asked people what those terms mean in relation to education, they don't know! I understand that it's easy to get swept up in rally cries, but shouldn't you at least know what you are crying about?

I don't know why you've mentioned socialism so much. I'm not coming at this from a political angle. It's important for kids to learn why diversity (in thought, background, culture....) is important. You know, since we live in a diverse world. ;)

Equity is simple, everyone should have what they need in order to succeed. For example, I have an autistic grandson who gets to take tests in a quieter classroom with less students. He NEEDS this in order to focus and complete his work.

Inclusion, again, another simple one. ALL kids deserve to be included! For example, the city just recently put in an inclusive playground. This means that even kids with physical disabilities are able to have access. There's even play equipment specifically designed to encourage parents to play and interact with their children.

So there it is. There's the D, E and I "agenda". I am a teacher in the district and I promise you, this is the only "agenda" we are implementing in the classroom. There really is nothing nefarious about it.

I don't know Emily Drabinski so I can't ask her." 

Since posts are moderated after a few days, I thought I would bring it up to the top, so the discussion can go on without that.

I think the issue here is a teacher does not understand what is behind the DIE agenda. Here is a very short video that gives a snapshot of the agenda behind it.

 Perhaps that will give him/her a place to begin understanding what is going on in our schools.

Update:

Here is a visceral video on why DIE must be defeated. Adherents of DIE will say that all children should "see themselves represented" in library books, in the name of diversity and inclusion. This is how they sneak in smut like in the video below. You will be given a million innocent reasons for the DIE agenda, but at the end of the day it's about the demoralization of our children. Warning: GRAPHIC.

GRAPHIC: Watch @SaraGonzalesTX DESTROY @Plano_Schools by reading from a p0*nographic book they offer to minors.
