“Idiot Principal Forces Half-Naked Teen Outside During Fire Alarm; Frostbite Results
This would probably have gotten me arrested. Consider this story, and you might feel the same way.

This would probably have gotten me arrested. Consider this story, and you might feel the same way.
A drooling moron who runs a high school in Minnesota (The link to the original story is here: http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2014/02/28/teen-teachers-made-me-stand-outside-in-wet-bathing-suit-barefoot/—my addition) decided that following fire alarm rules was more important than the physical well being of the students the rules were written to protect. Obviously unable to think for himself, Principal Dan Mesick, who administers Como Park Senior High School in St. Paul, could not understand that a student who happened to be swimming when the alarm went off must be given an opportunity to dry off and get dressed or stand inside the building until the extent of the danger was determined.
When the alarm went off, the school’s officials forbade Kayona Hagen-Tietz, a fourteen year old girl, from retrieving her clothes and either standing in a safe location in the school, or sitting in a mentally competent teacher’s car.
Because the fire alarm rules said students must stand outside the building until the emergency has passed, Kayona was forced to stand outside in FIVE DEGREE weather dressed only in a soaking wet swimsuit for ten minutes. Given the winds that blew during this travesty, the recorded wind chill was TWENTY FIVE DEGREES BELOW ZERO; and sadly enough, Kayona suffered an attack of frostbite. Because they huddled around her to try to keep her warm, her classmates showed they are clearly smarter than the dopes who run their school. Nevertheless, frostbite struck Kayona’s feet anyway.
After being shamed into action, a teacher gave the girl a coat; but the damage was already done. Kayona’s mom just wants the school to apologize and revisit its protocols for fire alarm emergencies. Not surprisingly, the school is saying it will take a look, but only during its next routine review of their policies.
Very frankly, if Kayona was my daughter, I probably would have gone to the school and punched out the principal. But hey, maybe that’s just me.”
I was a high school teacher in Illinois from 1970 - 1980. I taught for nine years at St. Charles High School in St. Charles, Illinois which is due west of Chicago. While there, a new high school was built that was two stories with elevators and which had a swimming pool. I had in one of my classes, a double amputee of her legs who was in a wheelchair. My classroom was on the second floor. During a fire, the elevators were not to be used.
We had an unannounced fire drill while she was in my class. We also had procedures to cover such situations. I had two strong, senior boys assigned to insure that she got safely down the steps, out of the building, and safely away from the building. It went off without a hitch. I have also been a member of a school board in Arizona.
If a school district that has a pool in a northern climate like Minnesota, does not have established procedures to cover such a situation as students in the pool during a fire in the dead of winter, that school district is negligent as far as I am concerned. The fault goes from top down—school district board, school superintendent, school principal, department chairman, supervising teacher. If I was the supervising teacher and there were no such procedures, I would have on record asking why and what are the procedures for this, this, and this. They ALL have fiduciary duties to the students under their authority. What if the alarm had sounded while all the students were in the pool? This was a minor that parents entrusted to the school district!
If nothing else, the supervising teacher, who is at the scene, has to use common sense. You do not send a student outside to stand in the cold in that type of weather in a wet swimming suit! You just do not do it. What has happened to our schools?
I’m not a big one for doing lawsuits but this has lawsuit written all over it! The school is responsible for the safety of the child at all times under all circumstances!
This is why, as a school board member in today’s society where evil is promoted by government and others, I would never allow gun free zones in schools for which I’m responsible! Gun free zones—another fruitcake idea from the Left! Why do we keep electing these people?

“Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Florida, is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following ‘Current Communist Goals,’ which she identifies as an excerpt from ‘The Naked Communist,’ by Cleon Skousen:
[From ‘The Naked Communist,’ by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
“15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.”
“24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them ‘censorship’ and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as ‘normal, natural, healthy.’
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with ‘social’ religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a ‘religious crutch.’
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of ‘separation of church and state.’
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the ‘common man.’”

This is my two part suggestion to Tea Party groups, social conservatives, Constitutionalists, and anyone else who wants to save our Republic from the approaching destruction.
1) Run as many conservative candidates in as many Republican primaries as possible.
2) Then, run as many independent and/or third party candidates as possible in as many races as possible where we did not win the primary.

If elected to Congress, I will not, under any circumstances, vote for present Speaker of the House John Boehner to be Speaker of the House. I call on every Republican primary candidate running in Texas Congressional District 19 to publicly (in writing) make the same pledge. It would not be a bad idea for every Republican candidate running for the House of Representatives to give the same pledge. See my post at http://christiangunslinger3.blogspot.com on December 16, 2013 entitled “Speaker of the House John Boehner Attacks the Tea Party Again for Being Fiscally Responsible!”

If I am elected to the House, I will use the Constitution, as written, to do everything in my power to stop judicial tyranny! Will the other candidates pledge the same? I know our present Representative has NOT done everything possible to stop judicial tyranny! Why is that?
—
If elected to Congress, I pledge that I will do everything within my authority as a member of the House of Representatives to begin and complete impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States for violating the Constitution, the laws of the United States as passed by Congress, and his oath of office. I call on every Republican primary candidate running in Texas Congressional District 19 to publicly (in writing) make the same pledge. It would not be a bad idea for every Republican candidate running for the House of Representatives to give the same pledge.

Competition is good for the economy and competition is good for the Republican Party!!! Competition keeps Congressmen committed to we the people!!! Primary Republicans who do not support the Constitution as written.
