THEY’RE SCARED SO LETS NEGOTIATE

Here’s how we interpret this….

DEAR BOARD
We hate that our gender-affirming teachers are being exposed. This is getting noticed and we’re scared we might have to stop. Please protect them so they can keep indoctrinating more children without interference.
…
They’re really scared!!

But you know what… the board knows what we’ve asked for, and we’re willing to negotiate.

OUR ASK
1. Book Rating System
2. Remove All Sexual Materials (specifically gender affirming ideologies)
3. Enforce Policy “Human Sexuality” where teachers are not to discuss s*x with students without parents consent
* Otherwise we’ll continue listing more teachers & staff every day, as we have a backlog of over 30 and it’s growing daily
4. Enforce Policy “No Controversial Flags”
5. Remove In-Classroom Libraries
6. Install Cameras in all Classrooms

SIGN PETITION if you agree:

👇
The door is always open for negotiation!

Yikes, it’s happening everywhere. Liberal activism for school board out in the open. Cobb County, Georgia (and right here in your hometown too if you’ll take a moment to notice)

PARENTS: FHSD CELEBRATES HR NOMINATION WHILE CORE ISSUES AND HIRING FAILURES PERSIST

The district just highlighted Lisa Simpkins’ nomination for HR Admin of the Year, praising her leadership, mentorship, and expertise.

Parents are asking how that squares with hiring an assistant principal at Hollenbeck who was later arrested and charged with possession of child po*******hy.

Or with the long-standing focus on DEI hiring and bias training while core academics and basic vetting have drawn serious questions.

The praise email looks tone-deaf when you put the public record next to it.

Parents be aware. Protect parental rights in FHSD.

PARENTS RAISE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER ELISA TOMLINSON

(Bryan Middle School/ previously ELA teacher at Hollenbeck Middle School at Francis Howell)

Since my previous post parents have reached out providing more details on this teacher. This is shared as opinion based on accounts from multiple parents. Readers should review the claims, and direct questions to the Francis Howell school district (cc: [email protected]), and draw their own conclusions.

• Accused of treating white students unfairly while favoring black students

• Alleged to have told a child they were “stupid”

• directly following; the same student reportedly told another student they wanted to push her down the stairs

• Received an email from a student expressing desires to r**e and kill her and her family (per the teacher’s own account)

• Allegedly worked with a librarian to shame a class in a way that indirectly targeted a student who told their parents about s*xual content in class

• Her parents attend the same church as some of the concerned parents and reportedly do not support her beliefs or behavior

• Said to skip greeting students during passing periods and, at times, turn off the lights and cry under her desk

• Accused of punishing students by making them face the wall at desks in oddly themed “zones”

• Maintained a private classroom library where students could check out books (including content some parents objected to) without parent knowledge — reportedly because she was disciplined as a child for bringing home certain books

What really infuriates many parents is that districts often just move these teachers to a different class, building, or even another school district. That does not solve the underlying issues. Tomlinson worked at Fort Zumwalt prior to Francis Howell, and Hazelwood school district before that.

In my opinion, these reports raise serious questions about stability, judgment, and respect for parental rights.

If you have information about this teacher or others please message me. I will protect your anonymity.

WRITTEN CONSENT REQUIRED: STOP SURVEYS ON SENSITIVE TOPICS

Parents — under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), students in federally funded programs cannot be required to participate in a survey, analysis, or evaluation that reveals sensitive information without your prior written consent.

The law protects eight areas, including:
• Political beliefs
• Mental or psychological problems of the student or family
• Sexual behavior or attitudes
• Religious practices
• Family income (and others)

An “opt-out” notice buried in a handbook is not the same as affirmative written consent. Written consent puts the burden where it belongs: nothing happens until you’ve seen what the school plans to ask and explicitly said yes.

FAIR’s FERPA & PPRA Parental Rights Template Letter makes it simple. It asks your district to confirm in writing that it obtains prior written parental consent before any sensitive survey or mental health screener, does not keep unofficial records outside your FERPA rights, and makes curriculum available for review.

Download the template letter here:
https://www.fairforall.org/template-letter-require-parental-consent-for-student-surveys/

Send it. Get the answer in writing. Share this with other parents.

🎓 "On October 5, the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice sent a joint letter to every state attorney general with a straightforward request: help make sure schools follow federal parental rights laws. The letter asks attorneys general to work with school districts on compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA).

FAIR members may recognize the subject. In September, we shared the Department of Education’s annual back-to-school guidance on these same two laws. The joint letter goes a step further by asking state officials to take an active role in enforcement, so districts will likely feel more pressure to get their practices right."

VOTE NO on PROP O & H

Do you realize a “no tax increase” doesn’t mean we’re not borrowing more money?

It’s actually borrowing $150 MILLION more!

Directly after they overspent by $86 MILLION on the new HS.

Someday the students will inherit this debt. VOTE NO on PROP OH NO and force the district to CUT WASTE and spend wisely BEFORE asking for more!

Sounds logical. And “fiscally responsible” 😉
