“Morale has never been lower.”: Dumbing Down the U.S.A., May 2018

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”-George Orwell (aka Eric Arthur Blair)

 Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS): A phrase created by me to describe a phenomenon taking place across the United States, affecting both privately and publicly funded schools, from Kindergarten all the way through University levels.

Incomplete (Tip-o-the-Iceberg) list of publicly announced education related layoffs, shutdowns and crimes, May 2018:

Alaska: So much for anti-gun (anti-2nd Amendment) efforts, Anchorage police report a student at Gruening Middle School attacked other students with a razor.  Police arrested a boy for vandalizing the Fire Lake Elementary School, the school has been targeted since March with spray paint and windows being broken.

Alabama: The voluntary Alabama Sentry Program will allow school administrators to carry guns.  A Tuscaloosa City Schools substitute teacher arrested for having sex with a student.  The teacher is actually on contract through Kelly Educational Staffing, and her last name is Lovely.

Arizona: Christians have taken over the taxpayer funded public school system and removed references to evolution, causing one high school biology teacher to quit in protest: “I was directed to make changes to adjust the wording to ‘evolution’. That was coming from levels above me, I believe, from the superintendent’s office. I turned in my resignation and said, ‘I will not be part of this.'”-Lacey Wieser

Arkansas: A man pled guilty to stalking and killing a Sheridan High School student, the reason was stupid, the victim was dating his son’s ex-girlfriend.  A Conway High School student, who is also a father, was shot to death as he got inside his car, police say there are no witnesses or evidence to go on.

California: Dedicated to preventing violence in schools, Richstone Family Center issued a layoff WARN for its Hawthorne location, 58 jobs gone mid-June.  First Student issued a shutdown WARN for its school bus ops in Los Angeles, 174 jobs gone by the end of June!  God powerless to stop ‘his’ Notre Dame de Namur University from eliminating more programs and five teaching jobs due to The Rapture, I mean what I call DSS.  Frederick K.C. Price III Christian Schools issued a shutdown WARN for a school in Los Angeles, 46 jobs gone by the end of June.   A new northern California elementary school is being named after an illegal immigrant.

Delaware: The state Department of Education revealed that 44% of students at Stubbs Elementary School were suspended last year.  A Middletown High School student arrested for threatening another student with a gun in the school toilet room.   A lawsuit claims the state Department of Education spends more taxpayer funding on students from high income families, at the expense of low income students. 

Florida:  First it was an Idaho teacher feeding a live puppy to an illegal snapping turtle (they are considered invasive specie in Idaho), now a teacher at Forest High School is accused of forcing students to drown live raccoons and opossums: “It made me sick. It made me sick to my stomach! …..took the cages, filled up large trash cans full of water, and had the children drown the raccoons in the cages inside the water, inside the trash cans!”-mother of student who said the incident was also captured on video

Idaho: Despite the fact that it is legal to carry a gun in public, without a permit, and that some teachers can have guns in school in The Gem State, the Lakeland Joint School District is spending taxpayer money on hiring armed guards.  Despite previous lawsuits that revealed that fees charged by Idaho school districts violates the state constitution, districts continue to charge fees and now another lawsuit at the federal level.   Non-profit “emergency shelter, residential care, youth and family therapy, job readiness training, adoption services,  and more for at-risk kids” Idaho Youth Ranch shutdown five of its thrift stores in Blackfoot, Boise (on Chinden Boulevard), Buhl, Emmett and Twin Falls, due to lack of sales.

Illinois: After only nine years Motherland College shutting down after the U.S. Department of Education accused it of illegal activity. High schools Belleville East and Belleville West were shutdown after a male student threatened a female student, the male student was arrested.  A school cop stopped a former student from shooting up Dixon High School by shooting and wounding the former student. Litchfield High School and Junior High was locked down after two rounds of ammo were found in a toilet room, no other info was released because it involves juveniles.  Benedictine University eliminating 32 jobs due to The Rapture, I mean what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome (enrollment dropped by about 2-hundred since 2016).

Indiana: A student used two pistols (not assault rifles) to shoot another student, and a teacher, at Noblesville West Middle School. The teacher knocked the pistols away and subdued the shooter.  Hoosier Academy issued a ‘pending’ shutdown WARN, 62 jobs gone possibly by June.

Nebraska:  Hastings Public Schools refused to allow a graduate from wearing her U.S. Army sash to graduation, even threatened her on the day of graduation: “He pulled me out of line and said, ‘I talked to you and your father and you are not to be wearing that.

New Mexico:  Taxpayer funded Shiprock High School scheduled christian prayers during graduation, not only in violation of the U.S. Constitution but in violation federal Supreme Court rulings.

Oklahoma: “Some teachers don’t even have classrooms. They keep their belongings, textbooks and supplies on carts and push them from classroom to classroom, hour to hour. I have been a traveling teacher. Like some of our fellow union members who are adjunct college professors and hold ‘office hours’ in their cars and nurses who travel from school to school, fingers crossed, hoping no one at a school across town will suffer a health crisis, it is almost impossible to be an effective educator while carting your work around.”-Melissa Smith
