Heroes And Zeros

Bob Chiaradio once again asks for clarification on staff hiring of policy 4145. He has three questions regarding the hiring practices. First, is race and/or gender a criteria for hiring. Second, are students on the SIT team involved with the selection of a candidate? Third, if a candidate is qualified, what is meant by student need to determine that qualification? Bob has requested several times for a list of Title IX violations in the Westerly school district and no answers have been given in any form. The committee is required to report those violations. He finally received a response to his APRA submitted in July. He had asked the school department provide a list of committee members that review books for the school system libraries. No response given nor can they provide minutes of any meetings that have taken place. Mr. Chiaradio is furious that the school system lax transparency and willingness to work with the public they serve giving the appearance they have something to hide.

Bob Chiaradio delivers remarks to the Westerly, RI school committee regarding the instructions given at the start of every open forum for content to be fact based and non-repetitive. He reminds the committee that content of anyone’s testimony isn’t subject to fact checking prior to a citizen’s presence at the podium nor subject to ridicule. He reminds the school committee that in December of 2021, teachers surrounded him at the podium as he was speaking in clear violations of the forum rule but the school committee chair did not enforce the rules.

Dr. McDonald clearly did not come prepared for his deposition by Parents United RI vs. McKee and others. It is painful to listen to a man who was once the interim director for the Rhode Island Department of Health spend endless minutes to answer simple questions. One might suppose he was trained in the art of delay tactics to kill the two and half hour clock.

Josh Mello of Liberty Quahog Media, was the victim of a violent unprovoked assault during a pro-abortion Night of Rage on June 24th. In attendance as an independent journalist, he was recognized by some in the crowd which caused a disturbance with a coagulation of individuals who wanted him removed. Josh inquired as to why he should leave a public gathering and was met with a forceful mob mentality including an unprovoked attack by a man in a green jacket. In this interview with Gov. Dan Mckee, Josh refers to a recent burglary arrest within 24 hrs. of the incident by police but to this date, no identification nor arrest has been made with the man in the green jacket who is clearly visible in several videos.

This man Todd Sandahl, a patriot and friend, died 7-11-22. I've missed him since he moved and I will miss and remember him forever. He was ever present at a lot of functions where public comments were accepted. Here is Todd Sandahl at the Department of Planning vote to accept RhodeMapRI, a social equity program based on HUD requirements. Watch then Gov. Chafee's facial expression as patriot Todd speaks.

Nicole Solas, one of Rhode Island’s supermoms, appeared on America’s Newsroom of the FoxNews Channel to discuss the latest attempts by one of the largest teacher’s unions in the country, the NEA, to replace the word ‘mother’ with ‘birthing person’ in an attempt to be more inclusive and appease the sex alphabet mob. Nicole points out the NEA’s woke attempts are actually going to do the exact opposite because it’ll exclude some while trying to include everyone the LGBTQIA+ believes everyone can identify as a birthing person. This woke agenda begins with the mentally ill transgender community that are obsessed with genitals and sex and are pushing their illness to students.

Bob Chiaradio speaks on policy 4145 regarding the input from the School Improvement Team if students on the team be allowed to recommend candidates for teacher hires to the superintendent. A disclaimer regarding fair hiring practices based on race and gender were cross out. He asks the school committee if this was done in error. Mr. Chiaradio is furious over the Equity Audit and states the issue was created by the school department with racial division. School committee chair Diane Bowdy abruptly cuts off his mic at the five minute mark and keeps repeating for him to sit down.

Bob Chiaradio speaks at a Westerly School Committee meeting regarding changes to policy 2011 for the school improvement team. Vagueness seems to indicate that ethnicity and race will lead the qualifications list. Mr. Chiaradio speaks of possible FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) violations of policy 5090. Students can be asked of intimate details of their home life without parental knowledge for the supposed benefit of serving the students better as determined by the Rhode Island Department of Education. He also speaks of another possible FERPA violation of a teacher (now gone) who made TikTok videos for and of her students.

This guy says he was at the Friday night pro abortion rally and witnessed the melee caused by the crowd. He says Matt Brown, Brett Smiley and others also witnessed the altercation. Perhaps he knows the identity of the man in green?

Kathleen Layton appears to be a cheerleader and overwhelmingly approves of the North Kingstown, RI school district. She is entitled to her opinion but then calls out an audience member and active parent, Megan Reilly, for speaking out to freeze the school budget at a town council meeting. Seriously?

Suzanna Tingley brings a list of issues to the North Kingstown, RI school committee. She wants the contract for the ESS program to be rejected as it does not fulfill its intent for broader needs of students given the $450K price tag.

Her concerns about sexualized, racialized and politicized curriculum have been addressed throughout the school year to the committee while being ignored.

Bob Chiaradio, a solid involved citizen from Westerly, RI, now brings his ever vigilant fight to North Kingstown. He brings to light that both Westerly and North Kingstown have issues with the indoctrination of students in such divisive topics as CRT, the sexualization of children through inappropriate teachings of pleasure sex training and gender identity. As with the naked body fats test scandal of North Kingstown coach, Aaron Thomas, Westerly has seen a teacher making Tik Tok videos for the kids and challenging parents to remove her. Well, she’s gone.

Jim McGwin is a frequent speaker at North Kingstown, RI school committee meetings. He shows true concerns over the current school committee and their apparent lack of fulfillment for the state’s law Required To Report on child abuse. In a brilliant way of showing thanks to the committee’s handling of Aaron Thomas, the coach accused in the naked body fat test scandal and the most recent six complainants against school staff, the sexual contact loophole bill was finally passed in to law this year. He points out that Mary King, Chief Operating Officer, has had frequent outbursts from the dais. She then adds to that list with another outburst calling him one of the Mean Girls.

Megan Reilly has made frequent appearances before the North Kingstown, RI school committee. She chose her three minutes of public comment to thank the community and most recently all the teachers that have spoken out over the continued negative publicity of the school system. It should be noted that she was interrupted by a member of the audience several times. Her overarching sentiment includes both the school committee’s mishandling of the naked body fat test and continuing fallout but also the blaming of COVID for the failing RICAS test scores.

IF YOU KNOW THE GUY IN GREEN, CALL PROVIDENCE AND STATE POLICE. SPEAK UP!! Josh Mello, man on left in photo, attended the pro-abortion rally as an independent journalist and freedom fighter. He peacefully was standing in the crowd and was asked to leave. After a few minutes of pushback to the request, he did agree to leave. As he was leaving, a woman screamed “don’t touch me” but video shows clearly it was not Josh. Guy in green shirt, who appears to be well over six feet, sucker punches Josh and pummels him on the ground.

Nicole Solas is a South Kingstown, RI mom who simply wanted to know what would be taught to her child in their school system. One would think it seemed to be a reasonable request but was met with unreasonable, extraordinary fees. The high hurdle gives the appearance that the school system simply doesn’t want parents to know what children are to be taught. She was threatened with lawsuit for simply following instructions given to her by the school committee and then sued by the NEA. To this date, 6-28-22, the information requested has not been given to Nicole Solas.

Josh Mello is a great guy who was asked to leave by the woman in red. After some discussion, he does and as he's walking away, the woman in orange claims assault and hits him. The guy in the green shirt comes over and sucker punches him.

Ramona Bessinger, a Providence, RI middle school teacher, is well known throughout the state as a whistleblower on the corruption of education from the Rhode Island Department of Education. CRT, SEL, hypersexualizing with cartoon depictions in libraries and gender issues are replacing true time honored teaching platforms of reading, writing and arithmetic for woke ideologies that have shown their results with the lowest RICAS scores ever. Schools are trying to replace the parents by keeping students issues secret and away from the parents.

Bob Chiaradio, a solid citizen of Westerly, RI, addresses the town council on two key issues. The first is the removal of Zoom from town council and school committee meetings that might stifle resident attendance and participation. The reasons given that some cannot attend might be due to illness, vacation of travel but these very same people would still like to join in through Zoom. Zoom cost $250 per meeting while Westerly is third in per pupil expenditure in Rhode Island at $26K per student. The second point of order is the ongoing battle with the school committee to remove some books from the school’s libraries and in some case, a teacher’s classroom. These books often depicts pornographic, obscene and in some cartoon depictions, what might be viewed as pedophilia. He brings up the numerous times he’s addressed the school committee, went through the required obstacle courses, filed a complaint with the town manager and most recently, a criminal complaint with the attorney general’s office which has sat on hands.

The Senate Judiciary went ahead with discussion and vote on three guns bill S2637 Sub A (passed 8-4), S2825 (passed 9-3) and S2653 failed (6-6). First two passed with majority vote to be passed to floor but S2653 failed in committee. It didn’t matter that S2653 failed to come out of committee because the Senate took up H6614 Sub A because they knew it had a majority to accept and pass H6614 Sub A sponsored by Rep. Justine Caldwell.

Susan Graham finds rewards simply by teaching her students and watching them grow where they find their own intrinsic values. She talks on the needed time to plan classroom courses to close the education gap in a post COVID era, time and money were spent on a new platform while the pleas from the faculty were ignored and unheeded.

David Averdesian speaks about the loss of a colleague, Alicia, and the expectations to go about his day ignoring his loss and go about teaching the day as if nothing had happened. He received a call on May 26th about an emergency faculty meeting for 6:30AM that lasted exactly two minutes to announce the passing of his colleague. He met up with a distraught student later that day and was looked for the SRO who had not been there for three days that week and the school psychologist that had retired and had not been replaced. No one knew. David gives superb examples of how teachers do not receive communications to handle situations according to school policies.

Dorothy Grinnell has been a teacher in the North Kingstown, RI schools for eighteen years. She gives several examples of how different 2021 has been for her enduring daily abuses from the very students she’s trying to teacher.

Dorothy has received verbal insults and lack of compliance with rule changes regarding hats, hoods and head coverings.

Jordan Albernaz speaks to the North Kingstown, RI school committee about the lack of respect, support and recognition for the value they bring to the school system. Often ignored or never asked for input, teachers feel that they are no more than a number. When a fellow colleague died, they were offered coffee and bagels while being asked to proceed like it’s a normal day even though their hearts were heavy.
