Message to All Culpable MPS Staff, MPS Board of Education, and Other Offenders >>>>> I Am Now, and Will with Ever Greater Intensity Be, Your Worst Nightmare

I project that by Monday, 24 February, I will have completed the advanced version of Understanding the Minneapolis Public Schools:  Current Condition, Future Prospect that I will get to Neel Kashkari and circulate among a select few key figures at the Minneapolis Public Schools, in the media, and at and about in the community---  before aggressively seeking commercial publication.

 

Always aware of the intellectual and moral corruption that suffuses the education establishment, the rampant nature of that corruption is many rungs above what

even I expected when I began my investigation into the inner workings of the Minneapolis Public Schools   >>>>>

 

>>>>>   colleges and universities, for which teacher training programs are cash cows, with their monopoly on certification and provision of easily acquired undergraduate and graduate degrees;

 

>>>>>   education professors---  their debased ideology and their ruination of generations of teachers, administrators and therefore students;

 

>>>>>   college and university professors in major disciplines, who superciliously consider pre-K-12 teachers their inferiors while complaining about the knowledge and skill levels of students those teachers send forth, and yet themselves being so weak as to educational philosophy and in civic commitment to public education;

 

>>>>>   the general public, members of which are only aroused when some particularistic, selfish issue arises;

 

>>>>>   the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), with its North Star Accountability System pretensions and decades long intellectual and moral degradation;

 

>>>>>   the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT) and Education Minnesota, the teachers unions that pretend to promote the interests of students but seek only to protect themselves while delivering an intellectually insubstantial preK-12 education;

 

>>>>>   the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Board of Education, the present nine members of which are bought and paid for by the DFL/ MFT cohort;

 

>>>>>   Ed Graff, Aimee Fearing, Ron Wagner, Brian Zambreno, Shawn Harris-Berry, LaShawn Ray, Michael Walker, Jennifer Simon, and the entire staff at MPS Teaching and Learning---  variously ignorant, in denial, or outright corrupt in their pretensions to care about excellent education for students of all demographic descriptors;

 

>>>>>   principals who oversee teachers whose means of instruction tend toward handing out packets, showing irrelevant videos, and giving free days, including at schools wherein the overwhelming majority of students lag below grade level in academic proficiency;

 

>>>>>   the Star Tribune and other media outlets, which do the bidding of the education establishment, attracting a great deal of attention for year after year reporting wretched academic results---  while exhibiting variously those familiar descriptors or ignorance, denial, or corruption;

 

>>>>>   and those many who have profited in fame or fortune from this immoral system of public education, using former or current positions to advance life prospects, with many at the Minneapolis Public Schools knocking down $150,000 or more annually while remaining mute on the matters of curriculum and teacher quality that they know destroys lives, futures, communities, the nation.

 

What these multiple culpable parties should already know, and what they will soon know emphatically, is that I have exposed them all in Understanding the Minneapolis Public Schools:  Current Condition, Future Prospect---  and that the circulation and publication of the book is only the beginning, with ongoing updates of the book exerting unceasing pressure on the system and people hounded in their positions until they start providing a knowledge-intensive, skill-replete education in grade by grade sequence to all of our precious children, of all demographic descriptors---  or resign.

 

And until all of those culpable parties provide public education of excellence I will haunt all of their days and disturb their dreams---  proverbially abiding as their proverbially worst nightmare.
