Is it Real This Time Or Just More BS?

Other People's Money It Never Runs Out For Seattle

 

The city wants to spend $165,000,000 (ya that’s $165 million) on another sports stadium in Seattle. This time it’s for replacing Memorial Stadium which is technically owned by the Seattle School District.  

Where will the money come from? You guessed it from your bank accounts!

When I was in high school we along with the rest of the Metro league played our football games in Memorial Stadium. In the 90s Seattle Public Schools went on a very expensive High school sports fields building spree which today including renovations and upgrades probably exceeds the $150 million they want from us to build another stadium.   The point of building stadium fields at each High school was to avoid having to juggle so many games over a week-end and fans having to drive across the city to fight over expensive parking with the crowds there for other city center events.

We already have invested so much money in all these high school stadium fields that spending another $165 million does not make sense for Seattle school district.  The district is basically broke and can barley meet its current financial obligations.

If various groups in Seattle want to build a new stadium then they should follow in the University of Washington’s footsteps and ask all those big buck donors to once again pony up and pay for a new sports stadium.

 

There’s a Giant Hole in WA State’s Assault Weapons Ban

 

 Update 7/19/23  https://seattleschoolscommunityforum.blogspot.com/2023/07/my-meeting-with-alliance-for-gun.html

- On April 25, 2023 the WA state governor signed House Bill 1240 into law. The law basically restricts or bans WA state citizens from future sale, manufacture and import of assault-style semi-automatic weapons. There is one very large issue with this law and that is the state has given one entity a waiver to the law. Aero Precision is a weapons manufacture located in Lacy WA that can still manufacture all types of banned weapons they just can’t sell them to Washingtonians.

This seems to go against the spirit of what the law intended to accomplish.  This loophole allows Aero_Precision to manufacture weapons and then sell them outside of Washington state where they might be used in various crimes including school shootings. Why would the Washington state governor allow these weapons of mass killings to be exported to other states? If these weapons are such a menace to society as he claims then wouldn’t it be prudent and justified to stop the manufacturing and export of these mass killing machines?

I’ve sent emails to most of the local Democrat state representatives for a clarification and so far none have responded.

Open Prostitution , Open Drug Dealing ,Theft and the Seattle Boiling Frog Effect

 

Seattle rapper killed in shooting along Aurora Avenue North ....They mean PIMP 

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/man-killed-in-north-seattle-shooting/ar-AA1flgZd

It was a bright sunny 2019 June afternoon when I picked up my daughter from her high school located just off of Aurora Ave. North.  As we made our way home we stopped at the red light on 125th and Aurora where a very young women crossed the street in the crosswalk. This isn't unusual except for the fact that she wasn't wearing any pants or underwear.  Fast forward to 2023 where the above mentioned situation is now considered not only normal but condoned by the city of Seattle administration.

Prostitution, drug dealing and open fencing of stolen merchandise is now prevalent all hours of the day and night from 85th all the way to 145th on Aurora. This activity impacts school children at Cascadia Elementary School, Broadview Thomson K-8 school and Ingram High School. 

This is an example of the Boiling Frog Effect where if you slowly turn up the illicit activity the people don't really notice. They just drive by in their cars as very young women are trafficked right in front of their faces. 

My efforts to stop the illicit activity has resulted in warnings that the traffickers will come after me to the police will arrest me for harassing the prostitutes . 

My calls and emails to our Mayor asking for a solution have went unanswered. Our Seattle School District should be working to stop these crimes from happening so close to our schools but the school board insist on taking no action. 

The Seattle Police responded ,    

"The Seattle City Council repealed the Prostitution Loitering ordinance a couple of years ago. The City also adopted the harm reduction model which identifies the workers as victims and discourages enforcement. The City has contracted with social service agencies to conduct outreach and assist the workers out of the situation.

The Police Department conducts stings to arrest the customers a couple of times per month but it has no impact on the workers. We are also attempting to identify the employers and take enforcement action but it is difficult as the workers had no incentive to turn them in.

 Thank you

Bishop Unified School District Settlement Agreement for Harming Students During COVID-19 Pandemic

 Bishop Unified School District to Pay $400,000 and Conduct Training for All Employees in Settlement Agreement for Harming Students During COVID-19 Pandemic

Bishop, California – May 11, 2023. With the help of retired U.S. Federal Judge Stephen G. Larson, Bishop Unified School District (BUSD) and a group of Parents who filed claims for damages for violation of their children’s civil rights finalized a settlement on April 27, 2023. Not only is the school district required to pay $400,000 because of the harm suffered by the children, BUSD must also provide counseling and tutoring for the students, and training for all BUSD faculty and staff on “public health, response to public health emergencies, informed consent, and bullying/harassment/retaliation issues.”

BUSD ignored federal informed consent laws and committed many civil rights violations, including discrimination, segregation, bullying, harassment, retaliation and denial of a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). At one school, many healthy students were forced to remain outside in cold winter weather because they did not consent to wearing masks. Some unmasked students were segregated outside of classrooms while other children, also not wearing masks, were allowed to fully participate in normal classroom activities depending on the teacher

Safety Concerns Linger at Ingraham High

 

"On Nov. 8, 17-year-old Ebenezer Haile was shot by another student in a school hallway. The next day, Jones announced a new safety initiative: Seattle Public Schools would assemble a community action team of school, police, city and community leaders to assess how safety can be improved at schools and surrounding neighborhoods. 

To address mental health, a child wellness team made up of psychologists, counselors, pediatricians and social workers would be launched. Jones also said the district would conduct an audit of safety plans at Ingraham and safety reviews of the district’s 106 schools.

The district says it has accomplished all of those tasks. But Friends of Ingraham, a nonprofit group led by Ingraham High parents, has sent three letters to the district asking for more information.

The group asked for the outcome of the audit, what safety policies and procedures have been changed as a result, and whether policies and procedures leading up to the shooting and following the shooting were followed.

The parent group had a discussion with Jones set up in March, but it was delayed, said Kathleen Zagers, co-president of Friends of Ingraham. A meeting is set for this week."

State Report Finds WA Education Agency Hasn’t Tracked Federal Funds Effectively

 "Washington’s education department hasn’t adequately tracked how schools are spending hundreds of millions in federal aid earmarked for pandemic learning loss, according to an audit ordered by state lawmakers.

The report says the agency failed to collect sufficient data about interventions meant to help kids recover from learning loss, and has not monitored whether the investments are helping students improve academically "

Alaska Board Members Defend Materials Promoting Kinks And Sexting In Elementery School Libraries

The dad told Fox News Digital, 'They're pushing critical gender theory on kids starting in elementary school'

"We don't often see specific examples of what diversity, inclusion and equity looks like, though. So today I brought an excellent representation. This is like the archetype of diversity, inclusion, equity material that it's one of the books "Let's Talk About It: The Teen's Guide to Sex, Relationships, and Being a Human," that was just recently purchased for our libraries," he continued. 

As soon as the parent read out loud the tactics the book promoted for children to use in-order to evade law enforcement the chair cut the parent off. This resulted in a vote to silence the parent which ended in a 5 to 2 yes vote to silence the parent.
