ACTION: Rescue California children from bad schools

Monday, November 22, 2021, 9:42 am | Randy Thomasson

Will California voters rescue 6.1 million children currently held captive by the politically-correct, anti-family government schools? Specifically, will voters let parents choose public, private, or homeschooling for their own children with their own education tax dollars?

That’s what a new initiative would place on California’s 2022 ballot. And perhaps it could pass because so many parents of minor-age children are turned off by the closed-up, then masking, and now threatening-to-jab public schools. Parental dissatisfaction is high!

For these reasons and because of a myriad of public-school ills, SaveCalifornia.com supports the Educational Freedom Act by Californians for School Choice.

This principled state constitutional amendment aiming for next year’s ballot would provide parents $14,000 per child (the same amount designated for children in public schools) to pay for enrollment and education in accredited private schools, church-based schools, micro-schools, and homeschools.

It’s a daunting task to collect 1.5 million raw signatures by mid-April, and will likely take a loving multimillionaire to make this happen, since the lengthy petitions cannot be printed from home like the Gavin Newsom recall petitions were. Yet now is the time to push for parental choice, to rescue children from mental, emotional, and physical harm.

Deliver those who are drawn toward death,
And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.

Court finds school districts, not Newsom, decide mask policy

Monday, November 15, 2021, 10:37 am | Randy Thomasson

Hidden in an otherwise bad ruling in San Diego from an unconstitutional Democrat state judge is a useful point of light equipping you to lobby school board members who are not union prostitutes or self-centered idolaters, but who try to be honest and try to love.

Because if two school districts in Calaveras County, California have voted NO to any school “Covid vaccine” jabs (and are getting ready to ban mask mandates too), any loving or reasonable or honest school board member can do the same, now that this ruling recognizes their free will to choose.

The one sentence, with our bracketed context, found at the bottom of Page 10 of the pdf of the November 12, 2021 ruling, reads: “There simply is no language in the Guidance, however, that requires, directs, or otherwise authorizes schools to force students [who decline to wear face masks] into an independent study program.”

In other words, it’s up to school districts whether to mask children; there’s nothing in the State’s “guidance” requiring schoolchildren without masks to be sent home.

So, if you have children or grandchildren in California’s K-12 government-controlled schools, or you’re just a concerned citizen who loves others, I urge you to take, distribute, and read this one sentence at the next school board meeting. Even better, ask an attorney friend to write a letter based on this court finding and to also speak to the board members after distributing his or her letter to them at the public meeting. That would be powerful.

Of course, if you want to act now to protect your children from unscientific, unhealthy, unrelational masks, as well as invasive tests and dangerous jabs, and if you don’t want your children assaulted by sexual indoctrination and all kinds of immoral political correctness and bad peer pressure, you’ll need to get them out of the government schools ASAP. Your solutions are homeschool, micro-school, or church-school.

And here’s something else you can use at school board meetings: A new “study of studies” of cloth and paper face masks finds them of no or little use.

A trio of of medical researchers from the University of Colorado, UC San Francisco, and Harvard found there’s scant evidence over the last century demonstrating face masks block small viruses, such as influenza strains or SARS-CoV-2 (Covid). The researchers concluded:

We reviewed the mechanistic, observational, and clinical evidence relevant to the use of cloth face masks in community settings to limit the spread of respiratory infections, and in particular the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. In each area, we found existing evidence inadequate to demonstrate clear benefit (or harm).

As the Epoch Times reported November 15, 2021:

Cloth masks are of little use against COVID-19, according to a recently published analysis.

Federal health authorities and a slew of jurisdictions require or recommend wearing masks as a way to limit spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.

But a trio of researchers pored over the studies often cited by the officials and found they were poorly designed and offered scant evidence supporting mask usage.

Many of the studies are observational, opening them up to confounding variables, the researchers said in their analysis (pdf), which was published on Nov. 8 by the Cato Institute.

Of 16 randomized controlled trials comparing mask effectiveness to controls with no masks, 14 failed to find a statistically significant benefit, the researchers said. And of 16 quantitative meta-analyses, half showed weak evidence of mask effectiveness while the others were “were equivocal or critical as to whether evidence supports a public recommendation of masks,” they added.

“The biggest takeaway is that more than 100 years of attempts to prove that masks are beneficial has produced a large volume of mostly low-quality evidence that has generally failed to demonstrate their value in most settings,” Dr. Jonathan Darrow, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, told The Epoch Times in an email.

So keep fighting against these unscientific mask mandates, which are involuntary medical care, suffocating and harming defenseless children.

Deliver those who are drawn toward death,
And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.
If you say, “Surely we did not know this,”
Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it?
He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?
And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?

What the victories in Virginia mean to California

Simply put, the conservative victories in Virginia mean practical hope. Hope for constitutional Californians and those in other states that liberal lies can be exposed and overcome.

Because that’s what happened in Virginia. A biological boy’s rape of a girl in a girl’s bathroom had enraged parents. And while the pro-“LGBTQIA+” Biden Administration and the union-dominated school board stood against parents, Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin stood with fathers and mothers, and both conservatives and “moderates” rewarded him on election day. This was the vital spark that turned Youngkin’s campaign into a movement, with rallies all over the state.

The wins in Virginia should inspire us all to stay involved and continue fighting for values that are right for people and right in God’s sight. It also shows how opposing anti-parent, anti-family values can win decisively when harnessed effectively and specifically connected to an understandable issue of high public concern.

Remember, Virginia’s had a Democrat governor for the last 8 years as well as a Democrat-controlled State Legislature. But now, the incoming governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general are constitutional Republicans, and the 100-member House of Delegates is getting a Republican majority too.

Yes, our culture is in a dynamic! And there’s great hope to show the detriment of liberal Democrat ideas and the benefit of constitutional, pro-family ideas.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
