June 4, Looks like they couldn't get to me legally regarding my published political opinions, except by forcing an attack of dubious reasoning, on the school counseling website I made for my schools parents, kids and the department: www.vhmscounselors.com. This was also built on my own time, on a private server because the DO said we were almost out of space on the school server. The name is even registered to me. You'll see that www.vhmscounselors.com is gone as a favor to my new principal. Even though CWA the department over counseling had requested that each school have their counseling department build it's own web site. Only two Moreno Valley MS's don't have Title One money. Title One schools can and have used this money to hire an out side agency to build and maintain websites for them. Cost only $3000.00 a year. My principal is a nice guy stuck between a rock and a hard place. The powers that be even had him quoting statements from an email or letter from my after hours political blog - you know the one your reading - saying they supposedly came from the counseling web site. They must have known he hadn't taken the time to look it over even though it was still under construction. He admitted he hadn't read the page (or the web site) even though I asked, more out of proof that I could do it than anything. I then asked him if he would go over the site page by page so I could better understand the problem but he declined for another time. I was particularly taken to task regarding my statements regarding the changing voter's attitudes toward public schools and asking parents to please become more informed and more involved.
Oh how could I be so brazen. Further, I had a picture of the "unknown comic" from the eighties on one page. Just for fun, a person with a smiling grocery bag (as in gag) over his or her head. As well as a picture of myself dressed for Halloween as a Roman Senator, you know Rome! Aligned with the sixth grade curriculum. I was told that someone at the DO found it offensive! No names were given, see also "blackey Houston's Moreno valley" and most anything written by 'MVgordie.' This all occurred two days after the hail storm of critical commentary from the readers of the Press Enterprise's timid report on Victoria Baca's arrest. I admitted (in my blog and the P.E. commentaries) to having seen Mrs Baca engaged in some very racist comments of her own. In doing so I probably gave my ID away. I have always made it clear that I am a concerned educator in Moreno Valley. No problems, I too ms. Baca have a right to freedom of speech. Anyway, the principal was told "someone" from the DO would be putting paper (a reprimand) in my file." Further, he asked me to go home and made it clear that I wasn't to return until I had a doctor's written "clean bill of health." I asked what he meant and he just told me the same thing again. " a clean bill of health. I returned to Friday morning with the note. and went about my day. The first day of my vacation. I was left a message from the Principal to call him. I needed to come in and move my stuff from my office so it could be painted. Knowing this was the whim of our guidance clerk and the DO was broke. I sent a letter to the lead custodian and one of the head painters saying that I really didn't want. MY office painted. Never the less The Principal came in and immediately called me. Telling me to come in on the first day of summer break. Lets see what "retribution" is in the works come August.
