McClatchy High School
Tortures and Abuses Child !
CSUS Abuses Him As Well
December 28, 2003 (Sunday)
He was an Air Force ROTC student,
the kind that grows up
to fight and win wars for this country,
but McClatchy high school shot him
down dead in his tracks in a willful,
conspiratorial act of terrorism
in which Sac State University participated.
I knew I was in enemy territory,
but I had a job to do,
so I kept grinding my way
through the education classes.
It was 1986, and one day that year
I was witness to the most horrible
child abuse perpetrated by the very
"professionals" to whom our society entrusts
the welfare of its children
and the future of our nation.
They had gathered us in a larger room.
We, ourselves, were taking the
incredibly useless courses required
by the State of California to get
a certificate to teach.
We were assembled to hear of the
glorious exploits of one of the
previous year's graduates.
He slinkered before us,
one of America's finest (not),
a first-year social studies teacher
at Sacramento's McClatchy high school,
his department chair, who was his
supervising teacher the year before,
was there, too, beaming upon him
with a gaze of pride.
This snake gushed with this story
of his teaching.
As a student teacher the previous year,
teaching social studies under his
supervising teacher, he had a young
man in his class who was in the
Air Force ROTC program at McClatchy.
The weasel of a student teacher
devised the following lesson plan.
He would have the school's principal
make a "special" announcement over
the school's intercom to that classroom
that the United Stated had just
declared war in Central America
and that our young soldiers and
airmen would be sent there right away
to fight. The student teacher would
then abuse and humiliate and frighten
the Air Force ROTC student and convince
him that he was soon going to die
in combat, until the student broke down.
The supervising teacher and the principal
thought it was a great idea and eagerly
cooperated.
This terrorist plot worked as planned
and the student, a high school senior,
was badgered and harassed to tears.
Soon thereafter, the young man withdrew
from the Air Force ROTC program.
As I sat through this class,
part of a course required by the
State of California to get a certificate
to teach in California, my pulse
quickened to the point where I was
shaking with fury and I could barely
speak, as I watched this gloating snake
and the instructors nodding approval.
Nevertheless, I managed to
control my rage which wanted me to
pick up my chair and pummel the
filthy shit out of the entire staff
present. I controlled myself with
great effort. I can't remember what
I said, but my expression and tone
of voice spoke volumes, for those
few who could read and hear.
Immediately, a female instructor
(probably having just completed a
conflict-avoidance class) chirped
in that "maybe, possibly, that wasn't
the kind of teaching style that
she thought was best, maybe, possibly."
What a strong statement of censure
that was !
Realizing that these morons were
bastards and bitches and assholes,
I kept my counsel from them, but
called up the Air Force Sergeant
running the ROTC programs. I met
him a few weeks later at the high
school where I was assigned to observe
a few classes and he was interested
to hear as I related the story.
But the next time I called him,
he was stand-offish, sounding
annoyed with me. Probably not
the sharpest knife in the drawer,
he probably checked with the school
officials about it, who probably
told him I was a problem troublemaker.
Just another bureaucrat,
putting in his years.
Didn't want to rock the boat.
So concerned about maintaining
good public relations that they're
TERRORIZED by these liberal worms.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Be mad. Be very, very, very mad.
