Parents Argue School District’s Decision to Allow Student Walkout Breaks Law

by DR. SUSAN BERRY14 Mar 201811,952
A group of parents from New Milford, Connecticut has hired an attorney to articulate their concerns about the decision by their school district to allow students to participate in the national student walkout held Wednesday to advocate for gun control.
In an email sent to Breitbart News, the parents – who wish to remain anonymous – argue the student walkout might appear to be a fairly innocuous First Amendment event to honor the students killed in the Parkland, Florida, shooting and to advocate for gun control.
However, the parents add, the decision involves issues concerning “adherence to law and policy, the manipulation of minors, the misuse of tax dollars, and indoctrination and political activism during school hours.”
They are especially concerned the student walkouts were organized by the Women’s March, an anti-Trump organization with ties to radical anti-Semites such as Louis Farrakhan.
In an interview with Breitbart News, the parents’ attorney, Deborah Stevenson – with expertise in constitutional and education law – spoke about the parents’ issues with their school district’s decision to allow students to participate in the walkout.
On March 12, Stevenson sent a letter to the New Milford Board of Education, superintendent Joshua D. Smith, and New Milford High School principal Greg P. Shugrue – which she made available to Breitbart News. Stevenson wrote:

My clients have asked me to notify you that this event violates state law, on the basis that state and local public funds are being used improperly to advocate for a political issue and to influence how voters will vote. Because it violates state law, we demand that the New Milford Public School District’s Superintendent and Board of Education immediately cancel the event, and rescind any association or prior involvement in it.
In addition to citing the Women’s March Network or Women’s March Youth Empower as an organizer of the student walkouts, Stevenson added that “the event is promoted by the Action Network, which touts itself as ‘an open platform that empowers individuals and groups to organize for progressive causes.’”
“Thus, it is promoting the event for partisan political purposes, to influence voters to one side of an issue currently before members of the public,” she wrote. “This event is not simply a ‘student initiated remembrance.’ It is an event aimed at engaging students in a political ‘movement’ to affect ‘change’ and to encourage them to vote for that ‘change.’”
On Wednesday, Michael P. McKeon, attorney for the school district, wrote to Stevenson, in a reply that was made available to Breitbart News, that the school board “has absolutely no connection with” the Women’s March Network and the Action Network.
“To the extent that either group has referenced the New Milford Public Schools on their websites or in any other manner, that is neither at the behest of nor with the consent of the Board,” McKeon argued, adding:
Furthermore, the mere fact that some outside organization unilaterally or in cooperation with some third party over whom the Board has no control lists, cites, or otherwise references the Board does not transform the Board into its agent or representative, nor does it impute to the Board any perspectives, philosophies, or political agendas such organization might have.
McKeon further asserted that, as Smith and Shugrue indicated in a letter to parents, “Students at NMHS have indicated that they too want to make a statement and be a part of the movement.”
In the letter, made available as well to Breitbart News, Smith and Shugrue wrote that the district’s middle school students “also expressed an interest in participating in the broader conversation,” and would have a “grade appropriate, optional opportunity that focuses on civic participation.”
“Clearly, this morning’s activity is student initiated and student driven,” McKeon said, dismissing all of the parents’ issues.
Stevenson, however, told Breitbart News that Connecticut, and likely many other states, has statutes pertaining to the use of taxpayer dollars to fund political protests. She said it “defies logic” how McKeon “can make an argument that the walkout is not connected to a partisan or political issue.”
Breitbart News asked whether school districts could be faced with further litigation if they do not allow students who wish to hold walkouts for other causes to do so.
“That’s absolutely a valid concern,” she said. “There are equal protection laws as well, and if you are allowing one group to have free speech on your campus for a partisan purpose, then, obviously, it’s discriminatory not to allow an opposing point of view. So, it absolutely does open up the school districts to litigation and all sorts of other problems.”
Stevenson said there are many ways allowing students to participate in a politically charged protest during school time harms students and the climate of the school itself.
“It’s one thing to teach civics and to teach history and to teach current events,” Stevenson explained. “But it’s another thing to encourage minors, whose maturity level is not that of an adult, to take a position one way or another.” Stevenson continued:
The idea of instruction in the schools I would think would be to assist students in critical thinking on both sides of an issue. If they’re going to be doing that, then that, I believe, would be in line with education. If they are simply instructing on one position, and one point of view, then I don’t think that even the school districts or the boards of education running them would believe that that is appropriate.
Stevenson said the parents who have hired her also have “a basic objection to their children being exploited or used because of an emotional issue.” She explained:
Obviously, no one wants to have their children harmed. And it is a tragic event any time a child is harmed or killed. But, it’s more along the lines of media attention and using children. We have laws against exploiting children for any purpose. It’s right in our Connecticut law and I’m sure other states have similar laws. That is what the issue is for many parents.
Stevenson noted that Smith and Shugrue stated in their letter that “For students who do not wish to participate in this movement, an alternate location will be provided.”
“You have the official position of a public school saying, ‘We will allow these students to take this protest – we will encourage it, supervise it, facilitate it, and use taxpayer funds to do this – and those children who do not want to participate, ‘Well, we’ll have an alternative location for them to be,’” Stevenson asserted.
“Now, if you’re in that public school, and you’re a child in that public school, what is the pressure on you to participate with those others who are going outside, or to be ostracized in an alternative location, and, then, perhaps bullied later: ‘Why didn’t you participate with our march? We were all out there,’” she explained. “So, I think that creates a climate where children are endangered of being ostracized, alienated, and bullied unnecessarily. And this is something that is supported by the public school board and district staff.”
Stevenson said the issues the parents have is “a matter of the rule of law.” She asked:
Are you going to collectively decide what the law is and follow it, or are you going to take a very emotional issue and take advantage of anyone – children or anyone – to advocate for your position on an issue? To take that kind of an emotional issue, and advocate, and not follow the law while you’re doing it, and use taxpayer dollars to fund your decision to do that is just wrong.
Principal Shugrue did not immediately respond to Breitbart News’s request for comment on the parents’ concerns.

SECOND IN A SERIES OF ‘TIM GOODRICH’ EXPOSED
Friday, April 8, 2016
Torrance's Tim "Not So" Goodrich
Torrance City Councilman Tim Goodrich has turned out to be a huge disappointment.
I had written at length about his anti-war rallies and activities.
I was surprised that the city of Torrance still chose to elect this man.
He ran away from his activist past. He had hoped to stagger away his views and attitudes about govenrment.
This guy was receiving donations from big time labor unions and liberal politicians.
Why did this guy get elected in the first place?
Most Torrance residents seem focused on their families and their jobs.
That is fine.
Now, however, for the sake of their jobs, their families, and the treasured South Bay way of life, they need to know who is sitting on their city councils, and start paying attention to the deleterious choices they are making.
Especially Tim "Not So" Goodrich.
He is a raging leftist, but for now tempering his liberal embers while prepping for a run for higher office,
He has been pushing a Big Green agenda for a number of months on the Torrance City Council.
He wanted a letter drafted to a state governing board to ensure the appointment of adequate presiding officer to succeed the one removed a month ago.
Yet when it comes to simple ethics among city staff, he has not demanded swifter action from his colleagues or the city staff.
The Daily Breeze reported on the March 22nd city council meeitng, in which Mike Griffiths sought concurrence to have Patrick Furey Jr. removed from the Traffic Commission:
The mayor abstained, while Councilman Tim Goodrich also declined to concur with the request.
Goodrich said he does not condone Furey Jr.’s illegal actions, but believed officials should have asked the younger Furey privately to step down. That courtesy was extended to a previous commissioner last year, who ignored the request and was then swiftly punted off a panel.
Arthur Plourde was the "punted" commissioner.
In a way, "punted" does not even make sense. This was not delayed measure. Plourde was removed from the Library Commissions. "Ousted" or "removed" would be more accurate.
At any rate ...
I received the following communiques from a Torrance resident:
Remember you saying at a council meeting that you didn't believe the charges against the mayor. Well obviously they were true. Having said that, I've become a fan of your work exposing local corruption in various places. You do great work.
I was glad for the compliments, and yes I had given Mayor Furey the benefit of the doubt.
Some conservatives in the city had done the same thing, even though they opposes Furey for personal as well as political reasons.
On another note, it looks like Patrick Jr is being set up as the scapegoat for his Dad. Patrick idolized Sr and no doubt took direction from him. Patrick's problem is that he's more reckless than Sr. He didn't buffer himself as well as his Dad did. Jesse Jackson and His son might be a similar case. If it were me, I wouldn't want my son taking all of the heat for something that I orchestrated. How Sr behaves regarding the son may tell more about him than the political corruption.
Keep up the good work.
Ouch! I thought these points were well worth heeding.
Why would a father not do more for his son?
Teh truth is, regardless of any father-son or other familial relationship, Patrick Furey Jr. is an adult, and must be held accountable for his choices.
Three times he has been admonished and/or hit with fines. Three times!
Enough is enough!
The same writer then guided my attention to one of the city councilmembers who seems almost complicit in these unethical actions:
Am I hearing correctly that, Councilman Goodrich did not concur on sending a letter to Patrick Furey Jr asking him to resign, and as well as voted against a forced removal? After what he did to Plourde for nothing, this really shows what a Leftist political hack he is. This guy is the most dangerous person in Torrance. He's still young and there's no telling how far he could rise in Leftist California politics. His unethical position on this issue should be worked to the bone. Forget the Furey's, they're toast. Goodrich is the one to look out for.
Yes, indeed.
Patrick Furey Jr. needs to step down.
I would like Mayor Pat to go as well.
This city does not need another liberal doing the bidding of the labor unions and other special interests.
Cities are for citizens, not for political action committees who thikn that they can game the system and play everyone for a fool.
Tim "Not So" Goodrich
Guess which council member is in league with labor unions?
Tim Goodrich.
This man is not-so good to me.
He gets worked up about climate alarmism, but the basic necessities of good and efficient government are not a priority? Really?
Let's state the developments plainly.
Tim Goodrich is a white version of Ted Lieu.
At heart, he is a full-on lefist. He wants "equality for all" as determined by cultural-Marxistim
outcomes.
He wants every city bowing down to Big Green.
Who knows what other out-of-step, out-of-touch views he holds.
He even confronted me at one point to shame me into silence: "I don't want you to look foolish."
I don't think so.
His reluctance to hold the Traffic Commissioner accountable and have him removed is very disturbing.
He needs to go.
It is wrong for him to use Torrance as a spring board to further his illiberal, regressive agenda.
And it's time for more people to call him out on this!

FIRST IN A SERIES OF ‘TIM GOODRICH’ EXPOSED

Tim Goodrich: (Leftist) Anti-War Hero for Torrance?
I am sending you information about a candidate. Do with it as you will -- Torrance Voter (Anonymous Letter, March 8, 2014)
Say what one will: someone out there takes my postings seriously enough that he (or she) found my mailing address and sent to me two newspaper articles and a DVD with a short clip of Torrance City Council candidate Tim Goodrich.
I know very little about the guy first hand, aside from the fact that he is a Democrat receiving a lot of money from labor unions.
Key contributors: Mark Steffen, Torrance Unified School District board president ($250); ILWU Local 13 PAC ($1,000); ILWU Marine Clerks Local 63 PAC ($1,000).
Right away, I will not vote for the guy. The ILWU is a left-leaning organization, more radical than the AFL-CIO (from which they split last year because Obama-AFL did not enact a single-payer healthcare system). Moreover, the union has ties to some violent actors in its past.
Now, regarding the documents that I received about Mr. Goodrich. . .
The first article, from The LookOut news is entitled " Sheehan Rallies Antiwar Troops in Santa Monica".
Some excerpts:
Tourists out for a late-season stroll Sunday afternoon halted in silent wonder at the thousands of white crosses just north of Santa Monica Pier, but few noticed Cindy Sheehan, the celebrated antiwar activist.
Aside from my respect for Ms. Sheehan regarding the loss of her son during the Iraq War, she has an anti-Israel stance which offends me deeply.
Then Goodrich is mentioned:
Getting ready for the TV cameras, former Airman Tim Goodrich -- now a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War -- asked Sheehan “How’s this look with the collar?”
A war veteran who vocally protested the War in Iraq? Is Mr. Goodrich aware that Torrance is a military town? I am certain that certain residents in Torrance would be deeply offended that a veteran who protested the war was running for office in the same city.
Still, my greater concerns is any council candidate taking money from activist unions like the ILWU.
Another report was included with The LookOut news article: "It This What They Call Democracy?" (June 28, 2005)
From truthout.org:
Former US Air Force combat veteran Tim Goodrich stunned the jury by revealing his role in the "softening up" of Iraq months before the US declaration of war. "We were dropping bombs then, and I saw bombing intensify," Goodrich explained to a hushed room. "All the documents coming out now, the Downing Street memo and others, confirm what I had witnessed in Iraq. The war had already begun while our leaders were telling us that they were going to try all diplomatic options first.
Further down:
There was also ample discussion at the Tribunal - supported by nearly 200 non-governmental organizations ranging from Greenpeace to the Vietnam Veterans Against the War - of various forms of resistance. Goodrich, who refused to return to Iraq for an additional tour of duty, urged more soldiers to become conscientious objectors. And to those who questioned his anti-war activism, he responded, "Some people accuse us of being against the troops or unpatriotic, but we are the troops. How can I be unpatriotic by asking our soldiers to come back home alive?"
Frankly, during the Clinton as well as Bush administrations, US forces had been dropping bombs on Iraq. In 1998, the US Senate passed a resolution to take whatever steps necessary to effect regime change in Iraq, as well.
This part was more disturbing:
Iraqi and US military testimony was joined by former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations Denis Halliday, who argued that the Tribunal has an "obligation to demand full international prosecution of US/UK war leaders as war criminals involved in the destruction of Iraq, the lives of its people and their human rights and well being, through unlawful and unjustifiable armed invasion and military occupation."
So, Mr. Goodrich was present and participated in a tribunal which wanted to try American leaders as war criminals? Now I am more concerned. . .
Regarding whether the invasion of Iraq was justified or not, I have commented on that already here: George W. Bush: Vindicated.
Along with these two articles, I found a DVD which opens with the Istanbul Iraq War Tribunal: 2005
Then appeared a protestor, wearing a George W. Bush mask, with a rocket in one hand and a large made-up Martini glass, with a globe on one side attached like an olive.
Then Mr. Goodrich appears at a podium:
Before I start, I would like to recognize a couple people. . .
A long banner of children wounded during the War in Iraq (I imagine) crosses the dais where Goodrich is standing. The images are harrowing and painful to look at. No one would dispute that war is hell.
Another voice then asks for two minutes of silence, commenting on the atrocities committed by "the US occupation in pictures". Well.
I do recall reading reports in the LA Times where Iraqi Imams were grateful for the US invasion.
Goodrich at War Tribunal Goodrich then speaks to the crowd:
When a soldier signs on the line, it is with the understand that they will risk their life for the defense of their country, They sign with the understanding that if they are sent into a war, it is for a good and legal reason.
Despite all the bad news that I have just outlined, there is hope and good news. Elements of resistance within the military itself have been increasing. This is through countless numbers of individual acts, but also growing numbers of large acts at home, such as the case of Pablo Paredes, who despite only being sent overseas in a support role refused to go. He was sentenced to three months hard labor. Also Camilo Mejia, after serving a tour of duty in Iraq, refused to go back a second time. He was sentenced to one year in jail. Cases like these are becoming more common.
More common? What are the ethics regarding a military veteran's concurrent resistance to his country's fight in another country?
Another report shares that Goodrich founded "Iraq Veterans Against War"
He is listed on the web page as one of the founding members:
Tim’s unit deployed overseas to provide direct combat support for operations in Afghanistan and to participate in a bombing campaign in Iraq leading up to the official invasion in March 2003. After finishing his enlistment, Tim visited Iraq as part of a civilian fact-finding delegation in January of 2004.
Any veteran is well within his rights to protest a war. He also has the choice to absorb the consequences for not going to war.
But when an anti-war veteran wants to hide this information and pretend to be pro-military, plus hide his numerous left-wing donations, I draw the line.
One liberal voter did six years ago. Lately, Goodrich mailers have a question mark with "Who is Tim Goodrich?" labeled in the cover, yet even those brochures do not reveal Goodrich's leftist aspirations, which are simply too extreme for the South Bay, and Torrance in particular.
How will other voters in Torrance will react to Goodrich's connections with open opposition to the war in Iraq as well as the obscene amount of union money his campaign is taking in?
Let us hope they learn fast, and vote for other candidates who better represent the voice and values of Torrance residents: Tom Brewer for Mayor, Leilani Kimmel-Dagostino, Aurelio Mattucci, Clint Paulson, and Alex See for City Council.
