Parents, grandparents and citizens; there is little else that is more important than guarding our children from harmful people and destructive ideologies. Many teachers are taught and certified by very woke universities. Our board has passed woke-friendly policies, supported woke-friendly books, and recently they approved DEI containing curriculum. And it turns out, we have indeed made some poor hiring and management decisions after all.

S2E2-Manipulation In Broad Daylight

A recent board meeting contained an important topic that deserves our attention. As most people know, East Noble has had a spate of high-profile bad outcomes with some of its professional staff. This episode is the second in a series on the reaction of board members towards a suggestion to confidentially share resumes of applicants with board members so they can cast an informed vote.   Left-voting legacy board member Jen Blackman “lashes out” with manipulative reframing rather than having a professional discussion of the merits of the proposal. When that didn’t work then she told us all about how she influences votes based on scoping out applicant social media posts - which in reality can only be based upon her own personal values and preferences since she lacks any professional artifacts. Given her body language, reactions and faces she makes toward Christians and conservatives at board meetings, this begs the question; what are her personal biases?  Manipulation tactics have been systematically used by our board and superintendent to influence public opinion for years as a means to escape taking appropriate decisive leadership decisions. This episode contains some good examples which can be used to train your ear to listen for it. Parents, grandparents and citizens; there is little else that is more important than guarding our children from harmful people and destructive ideologies. Many teachers are taught and certified by very woke universities. Our board has passed woke-friendly policies, supported woke-friendly books, and recently they approved DEI containing curriculum. And it turns out, we have indeed made some poor hiring and management decisions after all.

S2E1-Informed Votes or Rubber Stamps?

A recent board meeting contained an important topic that deserves our attention. As most people know, East Noble has had a spate of high-profile bad outcomes with some of its professional staff. Parents, grandparents and citizens; there is little else that is more important than guarding our children from harmful people and destructive ideologies. Many teachers are taught and certified by very woke universities. Our board has passed woke-friendly policies, supported woke-friendly books, and recently they approved DEI containing curriculum. And it turns out, we have indeed made some poor hiring and management decisions after all.  In this episode we recap the simple ask by a conservative board member to be more informed before he votes on professional staff. That is followed up with several significant examples showing why hiring outcomes prove the need to improve hiring checks and balances. Finally, we start to explore the shallow arguments and manipulations by the legacy left-voting board members.

S1E8-They Did It Again

This episode reviews the April 24, 2024 East Noble School Board's decision to retain another obscene book, which effectively undermines parents by denying them informed consent before their minor children are exposed to graphical sexual content. ** This episode contains explicit content read from the book that the board chose to expose to minors without parental consent. The listener is warned before that content begins, and is given an all clear when that portion is done. ** It is the right and duty of citizens to engage in the political process when elected officials make decisions that we disagree with and find detrimental to the health of the students and the future of the community. Engage East Noble is simply informing parents / voting public of what is taking place at East Noble School Corporation, and encouraging them to become engaged in positive change.

S1E7-Obscene Books Part 3 (3rd Parties, Committee & Appeals)

On previous episodes we provided a summary of the Obscene Materials policy itself, a summary of improvement opportunities, then critiques and suggestions on how to best resolve the “as a whole” directive, book catalog - with the change log, reference to challenges, and ratings, then the right to remove and the basics of good process design. In this episode we will wrap up the policy feedback with the areas that are still materially important, but they carry less weight if the other topics are not reasonably resolved first.  But they are still very important!
