Comments on the STATESMAN article 3/22/07
Hope you all have had a chance to READ the article by Molly Bloom who interviewed a few people of the SILENT MAJORITY. IF you would like to READ it, please email me. Some of the people COULD NOT come forward to talk to Molly for FEAR of RETRIBUTION by the SUPER or WISD to their JOB or to their BUSINESS here in town. Molly DID TALK with a FIRED teacher (TDT on the blog) "off the RECORD" and certainly gave her an ear full of the Senior High Principal. You really have to WONDER what OUR SCHOOL BOARD HAS BEEN DOING in the cases of some of these teachers, especially Linda Cottle. I have an ANSWER for that - most have been "ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE" - much like a senator we ALL know. I THOUGHT WE LIVED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, folks!!
We feel that Molly did a pretty good job and really did her home work on the facts of the district. She did mix up some of the stipends information according to Dr. Jim that brought attention on KLBJ the other morning!! It seems that many reporters and those in the media like to report what they think they heard with their bias from the subconscious INSTEAD of relying on their RECORDER. Sounds like the VIEW at times, right. You can tell by the SUPER's remarks that she was really PO at "US" (nice, "United States" citizens) and also at the STATESMAN for "you are giving exactly what they want, and that is attention". Nowhere did she indicate that our group was called the SILENT MAJORITY, did she??? YEP, we certainly are representative of people from ALL the community NOT this "small group of very negative people" that again Maid Marian says. IF she ONLY knew what some of the COMMUNITIES ELITE people think of her and are saying to US. These are people who are SO UNHAPPY with the way TEACHERS have been treated, the loss of programs in the Arts, Music and Language, the "Land Deal", Hiring of relatives etc. RIGHT, DR. Strauss, we are JUST a LITTLE GROUP of DISGRUNTLED people. IS that WHY, WE WON: 57% to 43% a year ago Feb.??? You BEST GET REAL - YOU MUST BE LIVING IN SOME KIND OF A DREAM WARP!!!
And for her to TALK about us being NEGATIVE. WHO WHERE THE NEGATIVE PEOPLE in the last BOND ISSUE?? I thought that I ADDRESSED that pretty well in my very FIRST article on the BLOG and when I spoke before the School Board that evening. It had to be US who CALLED the Sheriff's Dept. the day of the VOTE BECAUSE one of your young'uns there verbally accosted a couple of our NO VOTE people. HE picked on the WRONG person - a retired Chicago Police Officer of over 30 years. NOW, he could handle the kid in a snap, but when he went home to get something, he called the SD and THAT IS WHY THERE WAS A DEPUTY THERE. THAT COOLED YOUR JETS, didn't it??? Of course, you continued to PULL PETTY things like blocking Clint's car, STANDING (You in particular) in FRONT OF OUR NO VOTE SIGN - REMEMBER THAT, Maid Marian??? AND, to USE KIDS FOR YOUR OWN SELFISH PURPOSES AGAINST people who just felt they were doing the RIGHT THING. WE AS CITIZENS HAVE THAT RIGHT!! And, to USE the LORD'S name in the way you did - SHAME ON YOU, HE KNOWS what is in OUR HEARTS!! BUT NO, the WORST thing that your group did and it was probably that same young'un that went up to the door of a 75 year old lady in town WHO JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE A NO VOTE SIGN in HER YARD. When she answered, HE berated her UP and DOWN for having that SIGN. NOW, HOW would any of you all like to have some 35 year old DO THAT TO YOUR MOM??? THAT, my folks, CROSSES the LINE of CIVIL DECENCY - at least in my thinking process!! You COULD HAVE HEARD A PIN DROP IN THE LIBRARY that Feb. evening!!!
Molly goofed when she said "none of whom have children in Wimberley schools". I NEVER SAID THAT. The FIRED TEACHER does and so do others!! I do believe that Mike at wimberleyneedsacademics.blogspot.com (Mike has some great new stuff on his site)has two kids. And, as we have said to these parents of children in the WISD, IF you SEE or HEAR of anything being different against YOUR CHILD by someone in WISD, PLEASE LET US KNOW, and WE WILL HAVE some LAWYERS on their rear ends BIG TIME!! UNFORTUNATELY, this should HAVE BEEN DONE SOONER by some parents with their run ins with the PRINCIPAL or the SUPER - BUT there was that FEAR by intimidation. THEY HAVE HELD THIS TOWN HOSTAGE LONG ENOUGH - controlling the School Board etc. They must THINK that since they have this BIG JOCK STRAP GROUP helping them - they must feel ALL POWERFUL!!
WE KNOW, we HAVE GREAT STUDENTS, most of the TEACHERS are great (just a couple NEED TO BE OUSTED that cause problems in the WISD). We do believe Randy Rau is doing a fine job as Dr. Jim's "perceptions article" mentioned. We do think there NEEDS TO BE SOME HOUSE CLEANING in the Administration area and those "fat salaries" she has given them.
WE do NOT feel that we need to be at the Public Forum coming up. This BLOG works well to get OUR WORD out to the community among LIKE MINDED FRIENDS. IF you would LIKE TO VOTE "NO" against the SUPER, just SEND ME AN EMAIL. IF you would like YOUR NAME in OUR LOCK BOX, please indicate. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP - IT IS "YOUR WISD" - NOT THEIR own DOMAIN to OPERATE AS THEY WISH. WE got our people out for the Gibson report. Anybody SEE that man with the CIRCLE on HIS SHIRT with a STRIKE through it at the Gibson Comments and the name Mariam Strauss inside it. THAT ABOUT TELLS IT ALL, folks!! IF we SHOW UP at the April meeting fine, WE can PRESENT IT WHEN WE ARE READY. THE "NO VOTE" is there Dr. Strauss!!
