Janet Turney-Giles and Gina Patterson, president and executive director of the VSBA, said in a memo to all school board members that the decision to end the membership, effective June 30, 2022, was “made in response to a persistent pattern of dysfunction within the NSBA organization and among those charged with its governance.” “The VSBA board of directors no longer has faith in NSBA’s ability to effectively represent the interests of our state association and its members,” …The board said in an executive summary that it has directed the executive director to work with other state associations to create a new national organization “to meet the federal advocacy and other needs of its member school boards in a manner that values community ownership through local school board governance and engagement of students, families, and other community stakeholders.”

Germany Debates Mandatory Vaccines for Everyone After Austria Announcement – Epoch Times

22 Nov 2021 Michael A

Austrian Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg announced last week that COVID-19 vaccines would be mandatory starting Feb. 1, 2022, because the government has “not succeeded in convincing enough people to get vaccinated.” The move appeared to prompt Bavarian premier Markus Soder to say that German officials should impose a similar vaccine requirement. …But Heiko Maas, Germany’s foreign minister and top member of the Social Democrats, said Friday that Austria-style vaccine mandates “won’t happen.” …Last week, officials initially placed millions of people who aren’t fully vaccinated on lockdown, a measure that has now increased to the whole population regardless of vaccination status. Schallenberg said the lockdown and vaccination requirement is needed to avoid a “fifth wave,” referring to an increase of cases in the past week.

If there is violence, Chaney said, Kenoshans are better prepared this time. After the last riots, the town also saw a massive post-riot gun-buying spree. “You have the God-honest right to keep a gun in your home. If someone crosses that line, you have got the right,” Chaney said. One armed Kenosha resident said that he dreads the thought of any potential violence in his town, although he is prepared for it. Gun owner Terry Weidig said that after the Jacob Blake riot, many Kenoshans and nearby people bought so many guns and ammunition that they was almost impossible to find.

The recording, obtained by The Epoch Times, captured two seventh-grade teachers, Kelly Baraki and Lori Caldeira from Buena Vista Middle School in Salinas, Calif., telling other teachers how to recruit students into LGBTQ clubs, also known as “Gay-Straight Alliance” (GSA) clubs, at school. “It was horrifying to listen to not just one teacher but really all of the teachers in all of these seminars, excoriating parents,” said the source, who goes by the pseudonym Rebecca Murphy.

18 Nov 2021 Michael A

A group of leading Republicans on Wednesday introduced a “parents’ bill of rights,” saying that Democrats have recently started to take power away from parents and hand over more control to politicians and teachers unions to “dictate what our children should be taught in classrooms.” …A fact sheet released by McCarthy outlines five rights that should be guaranteed to parents that make up the main principles of the legislation. These include the right to know what is being taught in public schools and to see reading material, the right to be heard, the right to see school budgets and spending, the right to protect their child’s privacy, and the right to be updated on any violent activity at school.

13 Nov 2021 Michael A

On June 10, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed state troopers to start arresting illegal aliens—on charges including trespass, criminal mischief, and evading on foot—officials in Kinney County jumped on the idea. …“But again, anything that impedes people’s ability to enter the United States, anything that’s going to require them to be detained pretrial, or imprisoned post-trial, is going to be a deterrent,” he said. …“The problem is that Texas is doing the job that the federal government should be doing.”

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich filed an amended complaint Friday in an effort to end President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates. Brnovich asked the U.S. District Court in Arizona to grant a temporary restraining order and nationwide preliminary injunction as soon as possible to protect workers forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine or be fired. “Once a vaccine has been administered, it can never be undone,” Brnovich said in a statement. …“The COVID-19 vaccine mandate is one of the greatest infringements upon individual liberty, federalism, and the separation of powers by any administration in our country’s history…”

16-Year-Old Female Student Arrested at School for Not Wearing a Mask – Epoch Times

14 Oct 2021 Michael A

While the National School Board Association characterized the effort of parents who voice opposition to forced masking and critical race theory (CRT) as a form of “domestic terrorism”—and asked the Department of Justice to use the Federal Bureau of Investigation against them—administrators at a school in Wyoming decided to have a 16-year-old female student arrested for not wearing a mask. …Grace was given suspension paperwork and issued a trespassing citation, which came with a fine of $500. It was the third time this ritual had played out. What made this suspension ceremony different from the others was that this time, Grace refused to leave school grounds. It was time to make her proverbial stand. So Grace sat down on the steps in the lobby.
During the hour and a half standoff, school resource officers placed the school on lockdown. Grace was a “threat” to the health safety of her fellow classmates and faculty. The police were called. They asked if she was going to leave. When she said no, they told her she was going to be arrested.
