Palaces of Evil and Factories of Fear: Kim Grant tells the story of alleged Kings School System abuse
For me, it began with only a curious inquiry of why my school district seemed to always be out of money no matter how high the taxes were, or how many levies were passed in the name of children. I would engage in debates publicly about the nature of education, speak on television and do a lot of radio addressing many of the conditions I saw that would improve education in general, and I hoped that by simply pointing these things out, things might improve discreetly for the better. But what I discovered with each rock unturned were a pack of some of the most vicious bullies laying in concealment that I have ever seen and it was quickly realized that much of the money spent on public education gets soaked up in the bureaucracy of bullies. If it’s not the members of the school administration seeking to cover-up every bad deed done by a teacher—and stopping at little to execute the task, it is the radical teachers unions themselves who stop at nothing to advance a progressive education agenda. Often the school board members in almost every case will go right along with the many acts of villainy they witness to protect the public image of their school—because in public education image is everything. Like chess board pawns, the guilty parents who feel deeply bad about the role they play in their own child’s life rally to the cause of the school because the neurotic parents wish to believe that they can “purchase” for their children a good life—which they can’t. Parent/Teacher groups often align to become bullies against the community putting pressure on businesses who don’t support tax increases, stealing thousands of dollars of any political propaganda against their cause without legal recourse and stopping at nothing to destroy the lives of those who stand in their way. I have personally seen massive cover-ups, destroyed property, harassed businesses, extremely organized smear campaigns equivalent to what might be seen in a presidential election, and a mafia like approach to education that has caused me to move from a moderate reformer of public education to one who despises the entire process and everyone in it. But don’t take my word for it, and don’t think for a second dear reader that these things are only indicative to my school. I live in one of the best. These problems are in every public school and are the largest modern social issue that the human being has in modern times—even bigger than the national debt issue. To gain a perspective on just how big the problem is, listen below to Kim Grant who was a former teacher union president describe her reasons for blowing the whistle on an alleged bully case at Kings Local Schools involving a teacher sadistically torturing her special needs students. During the course of the broadcast below Kim will discuss much of what I just stated, which might be a shock to the ears. So beware.
The number one reason that more people do not come forward to stand up to these bullies who run public education are the same reasons that people do not stand up to the mob—self preservation. Most people fear the retaliation that often comes, and the social stigma that has protected public education for years. I could write an entire book about my personal experiences alone. Many residents like Kim said are afraid that the school will take out their wrath on the students, so they do not make public statements at school board meetings and they certainly don’t go on record in the newspaper. Also, many parents know at least one person whether it be a mother, a sibling, an aunt or uncle—somebody who works for a school system somewhere, and this makes Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners especially difficult—I have in my family four that I have to speak to a few times a year—and I know how hard it is for me, so I can sympathize how it is for most people. Many parents just keep quiet to save the peace in their families. I have even had people who directly supported my efforts with thousands of dollars wish to keep their activity disguised for fear that they might run into the opposition at their local church, or have the teachers union minions—the “latte sipping prostitutes” as I call them, boycott their businesses with revenue shattering collective withdrawal hoping to crush them out of existence. Further parents are afraid that if they come out against public education that their boss or co-workers might retaliate against them in the workplace. The incentive to keep one’s thoughts to oneself is very high even when they see many wrongs happening around them. The need to protect ones career, and social status often takes precedence over righteousness. These are the grim realities of public education, and it is no wonder that children aren’t learning anything and growing up lost and confused about their roles in the world. They watch their parents cave under the pressure of this massive machine, and they seek to rebel against it for a while, but in the end, they become part of the machine themselves only to walk through life in T.S. Eliot’s The Wasteland.
I have had many document requests pulled at my school of Lakota, some of which can be seen here. (CLICK) There is a reason that much of the information involving public education is “public.” It is so that people like Kim Grant can pull those records and expose wrong doing in order to protect the children of the school from activity that might be unbecoming. Kim being a former insider knows the tricks, where normal parents do not, or don’t want to know for fear of the responsibility that such knowledge might bring. The schools are set up like mafias to prevent parents and other tax payers from doing what Kim did. The schools cannot legally stop the request, they must comply, but they will put a target on the people who try to look into their affairs. That is how they prevent the “will” to investigate and there isn’t a reporter in any community who wants to be blacklisted from future work because they exposed some wrong at their local school. Most parents have children in the district and fear the recourse against those children if they make trouble. I have been in meetings where professional, highly educated school officials turned into beasts from the depths of Hell within one sentence of discussion once they realized that my temper could not be quelled by good tidings.
Public education is a terrible scam that is not helping kids at all in its current state. It needs a complete overhaul, and time will reveal that to everyone, as more and more stories like the one in Kings is told publicly. The issue is not isolated to Kings by any stretch of the imagination. Every public school has these types of scandalous abusers within their walls—and to some extent it is human nature to have such personalities. But the job of the administrators and school boards is to remove those people from employment in defense of the children—and that is not happening in almost every case. Instead, the school as a collective unit rallies behind the evil to suppress it from view, and this is what children have been learning in public education and our society will pay gravely for it. There are not enough Kim Grants out there fighting on behalf of all children and their cowardly parents are too fearful of being targeted as a “reprehensible” for stating the obvious. Until there are, public schools will be palaces of evil and factories of fear. In their current state they only serve the employees at the expense of children, and that is a folly that needs to be corrected without concern for personal reputations, or internal family politics. Thank goodness at Kings at least Kim Grant did the right thing which began with a public records request. The same could be done at every single school in The United States with a simple request by a bold district resident—which in the end is the best thing for children that any grown adult can do for their educations—expose them to goodness, and the system of checks and balances that they see lacking every day, so that they can trust that the world does contain justice and people with the courage to wield it.
