001of Allegiance I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all roll call Dr feiger Mr friend here Mrs Guyer here Mr and Liza here Mrs o'rior here Mr Shipley Mrs Smith here Mrs Williams here um Mr Shipley and Mr polikovski have asked to be excused from the meeting okay first section citizens comments yes okay fine um Dr Fike is the first yes comments made at the beginning of a meeting are supposed to be devoted to items on the agenda I want to talk about the agenda we have made several changes in the South morning School District that are significant one is there will only be one school board meeting a month now it
002will be held in in tandem the voting but the second one is the adoption of a block voting format I have studied this and I have learned for each subject title the chairman says are there any issues to be pulled p-u-l-led for discussion say there are five issues any member says I want you to pull number three if nothing else happens you vote on the rest of them and then you come back to number three and you have discussion and vote at the end of the meeting before adjournment the chairman says are there any issues concerns or questions from the board on any subject I've not seen or heard any of those at South Moreland and I would appreciate if we would follow that procedure again um there's a cliche that you're saying is that
003all it takes for uh evil to persist is the Silence of good people and um I don't want to be silent on anything really I think the students need to be holding this model and demonstrated in these public meetings I think that we should all be talking about world peace at this point that doesn't come up in the school board you can roll your eyes it's not coming up anywhere it's not coming up in the newspapers control media your politicians or anywhere in fact it's quite the opposite but getting back on on track then um you have to meet Authority endorsed information with critical thought and scrutiny that means you cannot walk in and walk out of here when something is is endorsed by Authority the information that you have restood on all these years
004not just covered but academic um you have to meet that with critical thought and scrutiny and to the point I was where I ended last time again it all boils down to local leadership when you look at uh the world you I have in on education you have to have a Devotion to the truth and when you have that Devotion to the truth it doesn't matter you know we're Way Beyond politics at that point we're Way Beyond whether you're a school board member or not school member when there's a public person listening to you if it's one other person your devotion has to be to say this is how I see it and if it's a state law and the whole board is against me I will still make a motion to make a resolution
005that this board will not follow this dictate from Anthony fauci to make it simple and then you'll be shut down but you will have not remained silent this board is nothing but silence I've put a lot of homework into this meeting on the course descriptions and um there's a whole dimension that you're not even looking at there you know what we have is a system of indoctrination of the youth going back into teacher classrooms versus the Cyber classrooms is gaslighting it's still putting us last in the world and most importantly to me with a with a student body that graduates again and again without the ability to and I'll read my statement one more time Authority endorsed information you have to meet at The Authority endorsed information with critical thought and scrutiny I want to
006see that in a student just once this year before graduation thank you Mr caper okay first section is minutes so I make a motion to approve minutes items not minutes which are items number one and two I need a second discussion is there anybody that would like to discuss anything under these items would you like anything pulled from these items thank you for amending the uh change in my vote for the 22nd I appreciate that so that those minutes will reflect that thank you all those in favor aye aye opposed okay reports superintendent information I don't have any new information thank you solicitors information I also have nothing to present business manager and transportation director information I don't have any new information either and there are no committee reports at this time either would that

017decided not to do that so she rescinded her motion that was rescinded yeah are there any citizens comments oh okay um [Music] I'd like to sort of the phrase you know the day the music died um with these public meetings where um we streamlined them now we've I've over the last few years I've pointed out that public participation barriers that you've created now we're up here the one night sort of like dumping the data on me but at least I'll give you credit of putting the public comment period back in at the end of the first meeting so we can take care of that on the record in the first meeting as we exhibited with Dr fike's closure uh snafu that you had in the last meeting so I dropped a little uh bomb on
018that last statement I said when I said that you know the public edges education is a form of indoctrination and I would go on to say that the proof is in the pudding that what Americans have now is an inability to maintain their freedoms and their self-respect for being abused um so I'll just finish with my same challenge that I put on your health and your coven policies that we were talking about I was talking about before there's a there's an anti-public education body of knowledge in America I'm sure you could Google and get going on that I'm not big into that I'm not talking about critical race Theory or the you know the trendy things like that but the people that have said you know from Mark Twain on that's that we're critics of
019public education um I would think Dr Boone would would have a handle on that I would think that Dr Fike might I don't know about the rest of you you know but people who knows were slight but you know if education is really a thing Mr friend I would expect might have a handle on that remember we're not supposed to be um pointing out individuals that is in our policies now um yeah it is an improper Mission it's not enough and then completely disrespected everybody individually but there's anyone on the board does anyone on the board want to volunteer that they they have located say here's what they're saying I don't agree with them Jan doesn't agree with it but this is what they're saying this is the critic review if you were criticizing medicine
020in the country today you would say who are the big voices in America they're saying you're wrong right down the line we have the worst help and all that you can you know we've all seen the alternative medical people who are the alternative uh education people that carry the most credibility and I'm sure that the there is credentialed as as you would require I would think of before I would be a school board member that I would have the flip side of what the argument I'm going to carry on and impose upon our community and I'll finish with this statement um if you don't know your opponent's argument then you don't know your own argument I got one funny thing to finish with Mark Twain said I never let my schooling interfere with my education
021there any other citizens comments yes foreign I want to pick up on what Jan said and this is something that's been on my mind almost constantly for about several years now he said all Edmund Burke the English philosopher said all that is necessary for evil to Triumph is for good men to do nothing but Alexander Soulshine said something very profound he said in order for a human being to do something evil they have to really believe that they're doing something good when I sat back and I watched our children being just literally educationally destroyed it seems to me that everybody else thought they were doing something good it was based on lies and misinformation Etc but I would ask you to search your soul when you go to when you're trying to hurt people which
022we have hurt people we hurt our students ask yourself did you genuinely believe that you were doing something good in order to do something evil is there any other citizens comments I'd like to make Public Service Announcement um check your carbon monoxide detectors make sure that your batteries are new fresh if it plugs in they do expire check them check them check them check them it only takes a second for something really horrible to happen on this perfect time of year it's new New Year so um that's it sorry it comes from personal note I need a motion to adjourn anything so even I'd like the board just to hang out for one second because we need to discuss some dates possibly um or just discuss some things that occur tonight in the meeting and
023how we want to move forward that's all just take a couple minutes oh I'm sorry all in favor of learning sorry I opposed you're welcome no I want to keep going he says
