Heroes And Zeros

Bob Chiaradio gives the Westerly, RI school committee an update to the process, or lack thereof, to remove pornographic materials from the school libraries. He has followed the process and has gained no support from the seven school committee members, high school principal and librarian, after a lengthy face-to-face 14 minute meeting. The school committee has repeatedly said they do not believe in the equivalent of book burning but Bob Chiaradio points out that these materials are available in all public libraries. His complaint highlights that the materials in question be removed from SCHOOL libraries. Mr. Chiaradio filled out a request for reconsideration and a select committee to review the complaint but does not include a taxpayer without children in the school system. The select committee appears to be populated with a select committee to review the complaint does not include a taxpayer who has no kids in the school…very same “group”.

During the second open forum, Bob Chiaradio cleared up misconceptions and falsehoods regarding his testimony at previous school committee appearances. He clears up the misconception regarding his request(s) to remove sexually charged and age inappropriate books from the school libraries that they are not about censoring or hurling insults at the LGBT community. He has cleared up the notion that policies to remove objectionable and inappropriate materials are not being followed by him. Other comments include the explanation of RICAS & SAT scores that ranks school districts in comparison to others. Also, he contests the COVID inflicted 2020 RICAS scores as baseline going further. He has consistently praised the work of 99% of the teacher trying to do their best with the direction they are told to follow.

Westerly teacher gives confusing talk on how those who aren't qualified to teach should not be instructing or being involved with the education of their child. She states then equates that parents not professionally trained in education but insisting on involvement is like someone who isn't a professionally trained mechanic shouldn't have an opinion on the repair of their vehicle.

Governor McKee is removing mask mandates for schools on 3-4-22 but he's leaving it up to the local school districts whether they want to continue the practice. Masking in general has never proven to be beneficial to stem the flow of COVID and the pediatric age range is overwhelmingly unaffected by COVID. Developmental and psychological harm are being imposed on children. In the Parents United vs. Governor Dan McKee court case, Judge Lamphear stated that although he had to defer to the Rhode Island Department of Health, he said children were being irreparably harmed by their masking.

Ramona Bessenger is a teacher of 22+ years in the Rhode Island school system. She came to speak out against the use of tax dollars to fund programs that promote issues including anti-American, gender identity, the sexualizing of children, race promotion and the woke agenda permeating school districts across America.

Seth Logan speaks to Westerly, Rhode Island about yet another material book describing methods of suicide in a 7th grade classroom provided by the teacher. The book in question is called By The Time You Read This by Julie Ann Peters. Methods of suicide are rated in graduations from 1 to 5 and each describe the effectiveness of suicide attempts. Seth claims he will not stop until books on pornography, personal harm, pedophilia, prostitution and pills are removed from teacher’s classrooms and school libraries.

On 2-16-22, Bob Chiaradio served the Westerly, Rhode Island School committee with a legal Letter of Preservation & Prevention of Spoliation. The papers served specify all records, digital, tangible or materials held, must be preserved and the spoliation (destruction) of materials is a violation with legal consequences. The intent of the letter is for potential litigation and or criminal charges. He has constantly asked the school committee to remove pornographic materials from the school libraries. The materials cited, books called Gender Queer, Fun Home and Beyond Magenta, are available to students. Children are being subjected and allowed to have pornographic materials in the school library that are not age appropriate.

Rep. Patricia Morgan introduces the Parents Bill of Rights that would hold true that parents have the responsibility for their own children. Parents rights in this bill would allow them to have sway over the education and care while in a school setting. Parents rights would also include that parents will have the power to opt out their children that they deem to be harmful to their children. Parents rights would allow them to have full access to all curriculum, in class assignments, homework assignments and extra credits. Parents rights would allow parent to petition any and all information from a school committee without imposition or excessive charges. Parents rights would allow parent to have direction over any medical decisions for their children.

Laurie Gaddis Barrett is a very active parent activist that carefully watches over the rights of parents to have control over what happens to the children while in the care of the education system in their own districts. Her frustration clearly showed through when she testified at H7318, a Parents Rights Bill sponsored by Rep. Patricia Morgan. Rep. Jason Knight's solution: JUST MOVE.

Seth Logan, a Westerly, RI resident, reads some vile content from a book given as an assignment to middle school children, his own 11 year old child, in grade seven. Pervasive foul language and content only an adult should read gives instruction on how girls should act and become drinkers and sluts, being bulimic and bringing vodka in a water bottle and no one would notice. Seth Logan experienced resistance from Superintendent Mr. Garceau as he expressed the book was not part of the school curriculum and was part of the teacher's personal library. Mr. Rogan questioned why the book was not pulled immediately if not part of the school curriculum. Superintendent Garceau explained that Mr. Rogan would have to contact the teacher directly and basically fight his own battle without the leadership that should be expected from the school department. Seth Rogan points out the school system seems to be focused on equity statements than proper curriculum sorely needed as evidence by recent RICAS scores.

Bob Chiaradio has won, in part, Open Meetings Act compliance complaints with the Rhode Island AG Office of Peter Neronha. The complaints in question were the lack of agenda items not in full description and the lack of backup materials on the Secretary of State's website as required by law. Following his appearance during the open forum segment of the meeting, Bob Chiaradio received rebuttal comments from school committee members regarding the Open Meetings Act violations and the removal of pornographic books from the Westerly, RI Public School libraries.

Bob Chiaradio questions the very low Rhode Island Comprehensive Assessment System (RICAS) and compares them to the stellar Massachusetts ranking in all categories. He also reminds the school committee that mention of other Open Meetings Act violation were also addressed by Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha and found favorable. Once again, the committee is reminded that pictures of a boy giving oral sex to grown man is pornography and not age appropriate at any level.

Bob Chiaradio has proven to be a solid and engaged resident that often presents both challenges and failures of the Westerly, RI School Committee and the system involving the education of children. Issues presented include: Praise for the great teachers and admonishment for those who just toe the line. RICAS scores highlighting the poor performance in RI Schools because of concentration of social issues and not instructional time with reading, writing and arithmetic. School board members Mr. Garceau and Alicia Storey named as principles that have failed the Westerly school district. Procedures to remove offensive and pornographic materials from the school library require unresolved discussions with Michael Hobin first before forms can be submitted by parents to remove those materials. Judicial Watch filed APRA for communication and emails between Rhode Island Association of School Committees and the Westerly school committee chair.

Bob Chiaradio is a resident in the Town of Westerly, RI. He is an engaged citizen that often speaks at the monthly (when scheduled) meetings and raises serious issues that surround critical race theory taught in schools, disguised as SEL and the sexualation of materials available to students in their libraries. In this video, Bob Chiaradio, reminds the committee of the 12/8/21 meeting where teachers stood behind him.

Michael Johnson is a Westerly, Rhode Island resident that regularly attends school board meetings. He reminds the school board and the student union advocate that the upbringing for his children lies with him and not the school system as they should be teaching critical skills they'll need in the future. The shaping of their minds is his job.

Liz Wheeler hosted a segment called the Tipping Point on OAN, One America News Network. In this video, we see that a Providence teacher, Maya Chavez, teaches from a host of anti-Trump articles around 2017. So much for unity. Watch this video to show the roots of division to indoctrinate your children when their minds are in the formative stage and can be easily manipulated.

Laurie Wycall is a Westerly, RI resident who has spoken several times before the school committee in their monthly meeting public comment period. Laurie asks the school committee to withdraw from RIASC (Rhode Island Association of School Committees) because of statements from the Department of Justice targeting outspoken parents as domestic terrorists. Also, she asks that the school committee get rid of masking in schools because of the physical and psychological harm to children during their growth years. In addition, she objected to questionable materials present in the school system in the some are part of the curriculum.

Bob Chiaradio is a solid fighter against CRT being taught in the Westerly, Rhode Island school system. In addition, he has received information through an APRA request for books available in Westerly Public School libraries including a book called Gender Queer. Other objectionable materials unsuitable for school aged children are also available.

Bob Chiaradio tasked the Westerly School Board to remove themselves from the (RIASC) Rhode Island Association of School Committees. The Department of Justice recently sent out a memo that would task school committees to report incidents of violence or threats perceived or not. Tim Duffy, the head of RIASC, vowed to engage AG Merritt Garland's memo and report those incidents where parents fight to speak on their children's education. In other thoughts, Bob Chiaradio is seeking to find if the Westerly school system's libraries has inappropriate materials such a Gender Queer or Lawn Boy both of which have pornographic images and/or suggestive dialogue.

Kenneth Rampino ESQ. gives some testimony on some legal issues for schools that want to proceed and teach, or continue to proceed and teach, critical race theory. He cites some lawsuits noted recently including some Supreme Court precedent on parental rights.

The North Kingstown, RI school committee shut down a meeting simply because two people would not wear a mask. After a brief exchange, the committee chair went offset and came back citing their legal counsel said to shut it down. The action appeared to be a planned event. The woman who had TWO legal exemptions for not wearing a mask could not give testimony. She is autistic.

A statement by Westerly resident Robert Chiaradio who is tirelessly fighting student indoctrination of CRT (critical race theory) that teaches division with racist ideologies. "Westerly Public Schools has now been exposed on a national level. Through this mandatory bias training, our good teachers are shamed, demeaned, and threatened, and they are made to push this poison down to our kids. This leaves no doubt, as I have said for over a year, that the tenets and pillars of CRT permeate Westerly Public Schools. I call for the immediate firing of Superintendent Mark Garceau and Assistant Superintendent Alicia Storey. SC Chair Bowdy must resign, as well as any other SC member who voted to implement this training. If not, you will face recall. I also call for WTA head Coleen Saila, to step down. Much, much more to come. As always, we march on for our kids, our good teachers, and our country. Thank you, Judicial Watch."

The townsfolk of Westerly, RI gathered before the school committee to voice support behind a petition submitted by Bob Chiaradio to insure that critical race theory not be taught in their public schools.
