The Message From Milpitas, Ca

Teachers can't afford to live there So parents of student are offering space We've seen this scenario before Hearken back to Colonial days* But back then there were no taxes Parents paid teachers out-of-pocket The message from high-tax California ~ Inflation's taken off like a rocket ____________________________________ *Read the short story, 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,' about Ichabod Crane, the itinerant schoolmaster, who took room and board in the homes of the communities he served.

Unbelievable Gershon how they have an orchestrated agenda to destroy Normalcy, and a Christian foundation. They are hell bent on confusing and crating chaos. Their Neutral gender agenda is designed by the Perverts that rule this world. California with their Governor Newsom and the manipulators have turned it into a Sodom and Gamorrah. On top of that they are being taxed to death. Private truckers are turned away from picking up goods or delivering there creating food shortages through out.

All by design my friend. We have to have our voices heard or they will destroy our children's futures and manipulate their young minds into eternal sin and destruction of civil obedience to a loving God resulting and terrible consequences for those that partake. Insightful piece Gerson you ot my blood flowing with this one my friend.

You mean the one that had a run-in with a headless horseman? Yeah, well come teachers are now having run-ins with "b***less (I'll let you think about the word I had to substitute here with asterisks) boards of education!

Greetings from free-for-all California! LOL…Ichabod Crane??? Public School teachers are well paid these days. No, you won’t be a millionaire.))) Worse, here, they are now considered priests, rebbes and transgender specialists. You may have a son. He thinks he’s a girl. He is allowed to dress as a girl in school. And teachers may not tell parents Then, don his male attire when Mom picks him up. No parents have rights here!! Unless a child is homeschooled or in a private school. Pangie xx

Beyond sad. And it'll never stop until the woke are taught a lesson. Perhaps that is why Putin and Xi exist -- i.e., to run us over and then enslave us in totalitarianism... to teach us to treasure 'normalcy' and what 'humanity' is supposed to be (not woke and not totalitarian!)

You got it, sister P... As for California, they still have some catching up to do to top Australia, where students identify as cats and furries -- and get away with it... Wrote a poem about it on Sept. 3: 'What the World Needs.' Yah. Right. LOL. Thanks, Panagiota. ~ gw
