INTERESTING OPTICS

First look at this:


Announcing North Shore Christian School Lynn Campus Principal!
The Board of Directors of North Shore Christian School is proud to announce the appointment of Mrs. Robin Lowe as Principal of the Lynn Campus effective on July 1, 2015.
Robin brings to this position many years of educational leadership experience in Christian schools as well as classroom teaching experience. Her philosophy of Christian educational leadership, her commitment to listening to colleagues and to parents alike, and her administrative gifts, position her to lead NSCS into the future. She holds a BA in Human Development from Lesley College and a Master of Education degree in Curriculum Instruction, Educational Leadership from Gordon College.

Okay it's pretty obvious that the NSCS must be a member of the CHAMBER. Nothing wrong with that, I mean they are a business, sort of. Lots of businesses belong, like say the ITEM. Makes me wonder though, I wonder if NSCS has any  policies about affirmation of their core religous principles like the famed CODE OF CONDUCT at GORDON COLLEGE. They could have and probably do. After all it's their GOD-GIVEN right.

It does get a little complicated though when you consider that the same company that owns the ITEM has LYNN PUBLIC SCHOOLS as a client. I am sure it's not illegal just maybe a little HYPOCRITICAL.

OH YEAH, I ALMOST FORGOT i THINK CHUCK IS A NEW MEMBER OF THE CHAMBER, THAT NEW PRIVATE PRACTICE AND ALL.

CHUCK TAKES TIME TO TAKE ME ON

Charlie Gallo

11:20 AM (18 minutes ago)
to me
Stan: The Nazi comparison by the woman who praised the Mayor and
advocated in favor of restoring ties with Gordon was am embarrassing
exception, I thought, so it was not "otherwise a civil discussion of
opposing views."  Bringing up the Holocaust was uncalled for, and
totally disrespectful in light of the death of 6 million Jewish people
and millions of others, including gays. Shame on her for making that
comparison.  And shame on you for not counting that as a second
"offensive and embarrassing exception." I was offended also by how the
woman sitting next to Mr. Lindsay was giving dirty looks to so many
speakers who opposed your petition, although unseen by most since she
was in the front row.  She was beyond rude and disrespectful, and I
hope she never sets foot inside our city again. My thoughts... Best,
Charlie

 Well CHUCK you are a little right about the NAZI comparison, it was a little disturbing but I would question whether it rises to the level of offensive. That's the funny thing about facts, you don't get to pick and choose which ones are true, they either are or they are not. Just because they are unpleasant doesn't make them false. It could well be argued she was referring to the propaganda techniques employed.

As for your second example, I have to admit I am lost there.

giving dirty looks to so many
speakers who opposed your petition,


Is that the same WOMAN you accused of being Lindsay's PR representative? Geez, I never realized she would be opposed to OUR petition. Are you sure you wrote that correctly. It was QUITE evident last night you falsely tossed out identifications or should I say misidentifications. Maybe she had a tic or some other physical handicap like me. Let's not be to quick to judge lest we be labeled intolerant or discriminatory.

Anyway CHUCK, I know you take yourr role as an elected official seriously and I want to remind you that you are held to a higher standard than your constituents, audience members, and thankfully me.













IN AN ATTEMPT TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK CHUCK KNOCKED THE CHIP OFF HIS SHOULDER

Last night's Public Hearing

Dear Mayor Kennedy,

This morning I am writing to you to complain about Charlie Gallo's unprofessional
behavior when he lashed out at audience members last night not only offering his
personal opinions as statements of fact but also misidentifying audience members
labeling them as libelous caricatures.

I honestly do not know what remedies are available to you but I find his bullying both
offensive and embarrassing exception to what was otherwise a civil discussion of
opposing views.

Sincerely,
Stan

GORDON GUFFAWS

School committee hasn’t heard the last of Gordon College


This was a surprisingly well written and rather objective look at the facts. How bout I color it up a bit for context.

ATTORNEY WALSH says

 The issue here is whether by having contact with Gordon College we’re allowing discrimination (at the college) that is not allowed by law.

Then the MAYOR says

there is no indication that Gordon College has put its beliefs into effect in the Lynn Public Schools.

BOO-YAH!

Then there was this exchange:

At one point, Lynn’s June Natola asked Lindsay, point blank, whether if she was younger, and she was gay, whether he’d hire her.
“Yes,” he said.
Attorney Walsh says:
“If that’s thePOSITION he was trying to take,” Walsh said, “then why hasn’t he come out and made that clear?”
Isn't that what happened?
Funny that JOHN FORD was the one selected for a sound bite, I guess I wasn't the only one from both sides of the argument that heard he was changing his vote!


CHUCK, YOU DONE PISSED ME OFF AGAIN

Here I was trying to be nice for me anyway and move on to the next battle where I agree the outcome of his argument though I remain suspicious of his goal. Then I see where he puts this out there. This is what I call a LAWYER'S LIE.
Proud that Lynn School Committee did the right thing tonight by recommending that ties remain severed with Gordon College by a 5 to 2 vote. Except for outbursts by Gordon's president and his spokesperson, speakers at the public hearing on both sides of the issue, with perhaps just one or two unfortunate exceptions, were most respectful. Thank you to all who participated, and especially to those who spoke so eloquently with regard to LGBTQ youth and families.
I got a number of compliments on my necktie tonight, worn in support of Lynn's LGBTQ community. So, here's a photo for those who missed it.

The trick is to exaggerate the intensity of the actual facts so that a different conclusion is reached with the same set of facts. You can't argue with a perception because there's no right or wrong answer because everybody sees the world through a different pair of eyes. Much like the LBGT community whose cause he was supposedly championing.

There was NO outburst from the GORDON COLLEGE president (I am a little insulted MR. LINDSEY didn't know who I was.) He simply meekly responded to a couple of direct questions by a speaker (who I think is running for school committee) about whether or not GORDON does actually does discriminate. In this case, it should have been the speaker that should have been admonished.

CHUCK then had outbursts of his own, belligerently attacking the president and twice FALSELY identifying two audience members.

CHUCK, ME THINKS THOU DOST PROTEST TOO MUCH!


Nice tie by the way bet it goes with everything or everybody.

SHOULD I QUIT YET? MAYBE, MAYBE NOT

Well we had the HEARING and we LOST, I think. I'm sorry I am not really sure because some things went on that sent me into a state of charter confusion. You see the way I read the charter the outcome of the hearing is a final resolution of the contested matter. What we got was a successful motion to have a vote at a later date.

Going by that sounds like there still remains the the possibility of reversing the vote that was taken last August even though there was some sort of canvas at the end of tonight's meeting and I am not sure if that would count as a vote or not. Actually a vote isn't necessarily required , only FINAL RESOLUTION. Letting the previous vote stand by not taking a vote is final RESOLUTION.

I know I might be arguing against myself by suggesting there is no need to vote on the matter a future meeting. I just call them as I see them. None-the-less given procedural point of contention, a letter or two might be written still yet!

BORN ON THE 14TH

There once was a battle over GORDON
Free help we can't be affordin.

Both sides "OUT OF MY BEDROOM" say
Although at the end of the day

One has to sit down and wonder
What's really all the stir

Cause what's plain to me
Neither place should our kids see!

IF I KEEP GETTING IGNORED, I GONNA START THINKING NOBODY LOVES ME

Gordon goes back to School Committee


I've written a few posts here but never a word. I've been told certain people have been told not to talk to me. CHUCK doesn't even know how to spell my name and has to resort to using general third person expression of generalities. The MAYOR avoids me at times like I've got some kind of SOCIAL DISEASE (well I do, IT'S CALLED INTERNET). No one from GORDON has ever even reached out to me. If they had, don't you think I would have posted that S&@# UP?

PHANTOM FIXES

Treating the symptom, not the disease
Happens when the goal to appease.

Out goes the baby with the proverbial bathwater
When reason is lost to catchy campaign fodder.

Sins of the past we're all aware.
Real change only happens when all are there.

Only when present can we learn
Tomorrow from yesterday to discern.

EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW

Telling you in advance
At the Public Hearing you'll get the chance

To stop discrimination at its worse
Don't commit the reverse.

Can't we all just get along
Here's the chance to right a wrong.

After the Public Hearing,
A chance to prevent what all are fearing!

CURSE THE REVERSE

to LATHAMC, tom
Dr. Latham,

I strongly urge you to reconsider your opposition to the establishment of any ties to Gordon College. The fact that they were granted an exemption to President Obama's Executive Order negates the possibility to any potential violation of the law. In fact, by refusing to allow them to work with LPS, you are in fact perpetuating a reverse form of discrimination.

Without a doubt I am sure LPS's intention is to protect every minority population. It would seem to me that safeguards could be put in place that would enable this to happen. Given the budgetary constraints facing LPS at this time thought ought to be given to expanding voluntary opportunities rather than eliminating them.

Either way I am sure you will have your chance to publicly express your views at the upcoming Public Hearing. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Stanley H. Wotring, Jr.

THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG, LOL

I am writing today to urge you to vote to re-establish ties with Gordon College after the upcoming Public Hearing provided the proper parameters and safeguards are put in place to insure protection of LPD's LBGT students. Given the overwhelming need of all LPS students for an exemplary education and the crushing budgetary constraints, I would not only hope you restore Gordon College to its former status but also explore new ways to expand the provision of services to LPS.

As a part of government, it is the Lynn School Committee's responsibility to follow all laws, not to pick and choose which ones it wants to follow depending on personal preferences or particular constituencies.Please remember you can't pick and choose what laws or federal policies you wish to follow. Gordon College was granted an exemption, the Lynn School Committee was not.

Sincerely, Stanley H. Wotring, Jr.

HERE IS A START

June 16, 2015


To Whom It May Concern,

On June 25, 2015 a Public Hearing will be held at 6:00 pm at 100 Bennett Street in Lynn, MA to determine whether or not to reverse an August, 2014 vote to sever ties between Lynn Public Schools and Gordon College. The expressed reasoning behind the majority, 4-3, vote was because the President of the college gad signed on to a letter co-signed by 12 other institutions asking for an exemption to President Obama barring discrimination against the LBGT community in hiring practices.

Four members of the Lynn School Committee took it upon themselves to not only deny Gordon College and its representatives their freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and their guarantee of due process as outlined in the Fourteenth Amendment.  It’s sadly ironic that this is all being played out in Lynn, MA so close to the birthplace of the American Revolution.

Hopefully some compromise can be reach that protects and satisfies the LBGT community and allows for the re-establishment of the relationship between LPS and Gordon College slowing them to offer some sort of mutually beneficial partnership. Like I have repeated many times in the past, there is no LBGT exemption from the MCAS.

Sincerely,

Stanley H. Wotring, Jr.
