SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES  

No other political position is more important to the future of our great country.  It has been almost totally ignored for more than seven decades, as we've allowed the Unions to take control.

General points to consider:

Many candidates as well as existing Directors use the phrase  "our children" which then creates a parental mentality.  The children must be considered the Parents' children.  If school board members understood that concept, they would think twice about usurping parental responsibilities with District policies.

Nearly all candidates and Directors consider that the school works for the "Community."  Instead the focus should be to the Parents and voters w/in the District they represent. That is why we have school DISTRICTS.

Most impotently, Colorado's Democrat-controlled legislature has passed several bills that require districts to create policies, many of which are immoral, and go against the values of the most parents who are trying to bring up their children with sound beliefs/faith as advocated by our Founding Fathers and Bill of Rights.  In making sure that those immoral ideologies are not communicated to the children, the boards must refuse to develop such policies.  Thomas Jefferson's quote: “If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.” Nearly all districts place man's law above God's.

Closely examine a candidate's campaign material and you will find that nearly all candidates talk in generalities, with no specifics:. For example, "Safety" is mentioned by nearly all candidates, but I doubt that any candidate knows that over the past ten years, the Colorado legislature passed 15 bills dealing with school safety and allocated over $42 Million towards implementation.  Perhaps the first thing to check on before developing even more related school policies is to review every one of those fifteen laws to ensure that, if appropriate, they are being adhered to.

I strongly suggest that you ONLY vote for the candidates you KNOW are the best. even if the you don't voter for ALL you are allowed.  Such voting will place more importance on the ones you want elected.

Has no substantive suggestions on how to improve math/reading, except “see what’s working and copy it.” Generalities with no specifics on safety issues. Favors continuance of “Board Governance” because “it has worked for 20 years,” yet it distances elected school board members from direct policy creation.

A New Era for Religious Liberty in Public Schools

 

A New Era for Religious Liberty in Public Schools

6/13/2025

 

Matt 18:6 NIV: If anyone   causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

Fact: America’s Public-School Systems’ policies have become virtually void of any mention of Religion or Religious Liberty…a policy never intended by our Founding Fathers.  After approximately seventy years of deliberate misinformation regarding the Church/State issues, the Supreme Court finally rectified this deliberate error of religious discrimination in both the recent Kennedy v. Bremerton School District and the Carson v. Makin Charter School rulings.  Unfortunately, for decades, nearly all citizens have been deliberately misled into believing that any mention of religion or of one’s faith is illegal in the public square as well as inside public-school buildings or grounds and that equal access excluded citizens of faith government funding.

Today, Spiritual Revival is as Essential Today as was the Great Awakening Prior to 1776.

 1.     Carson v. Makin School Choice – Maine

A 2022 Supreme Court decision in Carson v. Makin ruled that if the government provides financial support to parents of children attending a secular public charter school it must also provide the same financial support to parents for the financial support of religious schools.

The U.S. Supreme Court returned a decision to reverse the unjustly banned families from participating in a government student-aid program if they chose to send their children to religious schools.

 2.     Kennedy v. Bremerton School District

The 2002 U.S. Supreme Court’s 6/3 decision respects the Constitutional Rights of all public-school students, teachers, and coaches to engage in a brief, personal prayer in public.

According to the opinion, “Respect for religious expressions is indispensable to life in a free and diverse Republic—whether those expressions take place in a sanctuary or on a field, and whether they manifest through the spoken word or a bowed head.”

Case overview: https://casetext.com/case/kennedy-v-bremerton-school-dist-1/

The two SCOTUS decisions, (above) provide an opportune time for public school boards to promote an understanding and influence of Religious Liberty that our Founding Fathers desired.  Because these two cases each received a 6/3 vote, the time to reinstate Religious Freedom and teach the history of the Bible’s influence in the formation of the United States is NOW.  Furthermore, with the recent huge influx of illegal migrants from third-world counties, this teaching is more critical than ever to the future of America.

Following are just a few examples of how Religious Liberty can be expressed within the Public School System:

1.      Public school districts should consider creating a Resolution and related policy acknowledging Religious Liberty for all Administration, Teachers, Students and Parents, referencing SCOTUS’ 6/3 decisions in both Kennedy v Bremerton School District and Carson v Makin.

2.      Develop and update a URL link on the School District’s and each school’s website entitled: Major Legal Rulings Affecting Public Schools in the Past Decade with links to related cases and easily-understood explanations.  Advise all school personnel, teachers, high-school students and parents of the URLs’ existence. 

3.      Notify all school personnel, students and parents of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on Religious Freedom in Public Schools (Kennedy v. Bremerton School District)

https://tinyurl.com/y44w4ps9

4.     At the School District’s board meetings,

a.      Begin each public board meeting with prayer

https://tinyurl.com/3mtz4thd

https://tinyurl.com/4k8jdnau

b.      Following the Pledge of Allegiance, read the Preamble to the Colorado Constitution.

“We, the people of Colorado, with profound reverence for the Supreme Ruler of             the Universe, in order to form a more independent and perfect government;  establish justice; insure tranquillity; provide for the common defense; promote      the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our       posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the “State of Colorado.”

 

c.       Board members are able to begin their public statement with prayer or scripture. Citizens engaged in public comment must not be discouraged to included religious content.

5.      On the exterior of every public-school building, post the U.S. Motto, “In God we Trust.” Follow Texas’ example, which was approved by the Texas Supreme Court. Numerous other examples exist in other states. Cover cost through donations.

a.      AND/OR…Require U.S. Motto be posted in every classroom, the Teachers’ Lounge, and main entrance to each school.

6.      Instruct all teachers to lead their classes in the Pledge of Allegiance on the first class of each day The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that because reciting the Pledge of Allegiance is a patriotic, rather than a religious exercise, saying the words “under God” does not discriminate against atheists. -- May 9, 2014.

 

7.      Terminate the employment of School-based Mental Health Counselors

Such counseling usurps parental responsibility.

Most mental health counselors are trained to affirm a student’s gender transition.[1]

Such counselors should not be employing secular counseling methods with children whose parents hold faith-based or other viewpoints. Matt 18:6

 

8.      Develop a process to identify and promptly remove pornographic books in school libraries.   (See https://d20books.com/  )

3.      Start each district school board meeting with Opening Prayer, in English, by a local pastor or at a minimum, provide a moment (1 minute) of silence.

4.      Post lists of students’ and teachers’ Religious Rights on each school’s website

5.      Post list of Teachers’ Religious Rights in each school’s teachers’ lounge/breakroom and on District’s website [2]

6.      Periodically, when there is a school assembly, or at another appropriate time/location sing the National Anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” written by Francis Scott Key

A New Era for Patriotism in Public Schools

 

A New Era for Patriotism in Public Schools

6/30/25

Fact: America’s Public-School Systems’ policies have become virtually void of any mention of Patriotism which was never intended by our Founding Fathers. Many of the founding documents available regarding patriotism mention a Supreme Being of the Universe, or “God.”  Could it be that the reason America’s history is being scrubbed is because it validates the reliance on God? As Karl Marx said, "The first battlefield is to rewrite history. Take away the heritage of a people and they are easily persuaded.” -- Karl Marx

 

America has had several decades of indifference to patriotism. Failure to accurately teach American History in the public school system is destroying our collective knowledge of the past, including the important role of Religion. If the U.S is to regain its former status in the world, serious action must be taken to address the founding principles upon which our country was based, with due recognition to the enormous courage and sacrifice exhibited by the Founding Fathers, even at the cost of their lives. This is now particularly important with the current invasion of our country taking place by millions of the world’s people from countries whose people have no idea of the United States’ Republican form of government.

 

George Orwell once said, “Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.'” With the anti-American and anti-Jewish displays seen on college campuses all over the world, Orwell’s warning could not be more current. Read More...

 “The first battlefield is to rewrite history. Take away the heritage of a people and they are easily persuaded.” – Karl Marx

 Poling recently taken by GALLUP showed a major, disturbing drop in U.S. Adults’ Pride in being Americans from 2001-2025  https://tinyurl.com/4tuz6rhs

 In a series of surveys conducted from 2001 to 2025, respondents were asked how proud they were to be an American. re extremely/very proud dropping from 87% to 58%, while simply very “Very Proud” dropping from 32% to 17%. --- the lowest percentage ever recorded in recent history. Patriotism is declining rapidly in America. Public schools’ rewriting of history is the major cause. Patriotism must begin at home and be reinforced within public schools. School districts should consider encouraging parents to work with the schools to effectuate a change.

 The nation’s public schools provide an ideal location for cultivating patriotic fervor.  Below are a few examples of how Patriotism might be expressed within the Public School System:

1.      Public school district boards might consider creating a Resolution and related policy acknowledging decades of diminishing emphasis on America’s history, and the resultant decrease in patriotism, reliance on the Supreme Being, and committing to emphasize patriotism’s importance to the nation’s abundance and future. Writings by the Founding Fathers and others engaged in the formation of the U.S. Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, often referred to patriotic themes that included their reliance on God.

2.      At school district board meetings:

a.      Following the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance, read the Preamble to the Colorado Constitution. ( https://tinyurl.com/yshz4ts9 ) which states, “We, the people of Colorado, with profound reverence for the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, in order to form a more independent and perfect government; establish justice; insure tranquillity; provide for the common defense; promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the “State of Colorado”.

b.      Encourage Board Members to include comments and periodic quotes from the Founding Fathers that further the importance of education and the concept of patriotism in their public statements.

 

3.      Either on the exterior of every public-school building, post the U.S. National Motto, “In God we Trust.” Following Texas’ example, the Texas Supreme Court acknowledged the right to visibly post the U.S. National Motto. Numerous other examples exist in other states. Suggestion: While not necessary, the posters’ costs could be covered through donations. (https://tinyurl.com/2s32d6yr)

Unlike many states, school districts do not need a state statute because this would fall w/in the category of curriculum, “teaching.”

 

a.      OR…Require U.S. Motto be posted in every classroom, the Teachers’ Lounge, and main entrance to each school. See Louisiana and others. ( (https://tinyurl.com/2w9fyuvp ).  

b.      AND…place the U.S. Motto on the wall behind the Board Room dais.

c.       Making it optional will cause dissension.

4.      Require all teachers to lead their classes in the Pledge of Allegiance. Each teacher at the commencement of the first class of each day, in all grades in every school, shall lead the class in a group recitation of the ‘Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.’  The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that because reciting the Pledge of Allegiance is a patriotic, rather than a religious exercise, saying the words “under God” does not discriminate against atheists. -- May 9, 2014. https://tinyurl.com/zxsnu5mr

5.      Resolutions can be written to provide information on National Holidays[1] and then taught in the classroom rather than “celebrating” minority groups.

 

6.      Historic Documents[2]  must be taught at the appropriate elementary, middle school and high school levels.

 

7.      Field Trip to the National Cemetery in Colorado Springs to understand the connection between Liberty and the sacrifice of so many to preserve our freedoms. National Cemetery was dedicated in Colorado Springs in 2018.

 

8.      National Anthem

At appropriate events encourage the singing of the National Anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner, “Oh Say Can You See...”[3]

At District Level:

1.      Affix a visible plaque of the U.S. Motto, “In God We Trust” behind the Board Members’ seats.

2.      Consider requesting all teachers sign a document annually, that disavows the May 2023 Teachers Union Resolution

 

In Classrooms

1.      Affix an 11x17” poster of the U.S. Motto and Ten Commandments in a prominent location in each classroom and on the district’s website. https://tinyurl.com/57458k38

2.      Cite the Pledge of Allegiance in the first class of each day. [4]

3.      Post a framed picture of a Founding Father in each classroom with his quote on the importance of Education. The students should be taught about that Founding Father. (A few classrooms may include a quote that contains the word “Bible.”)

4.      Teach on the subject of any district Resolution that pertains to a national holiday or other patriotic subject.

5.      Require teaching and understanding of Communism and Nazism

6.      Communist Goals (Examples)

o   Congressional Record

o   https://tinyurl.com/bdcpz4dm

o   In Florida

§   Communist Regimes FL Bill

o   In Arizona

AZ Schools to teach history of all communist regimes.

7.      Socialism Goals

o   https://tinyurl.com/mr2ubdm3

8.      Create Resolution entitled Victims of Communism Day  for Nov 7^th or other appropriate day.  Such teaching will encompass items set forth in FL Bill 24-1349.

9.      When teaching on the Revolutionary and Civil War, read/sing a couple of songs sung by the soldiers. Some may have religious content that shouldn’t be avoided—it is history. https://tinyurl.com/bdea38wh

 

Graduation Ceremonies

1.      The school district must not censure a valedictorian student’s comments on his/her religion or patriotic views. This freedom should be communicated to the graduating class at the beginning of the senior year.
