West End Parents Complain, Explicit Books Removed, East End Parents Complaint, No Action

Here we go AGAIN!

UGOTNERVE just published an account of a sexually inappropriate book being given to middle school students by a teacher at John Rolfe Middle School.  The East End parent’s complaints fail on deaf ears.

The article below documents yet another example of how when West End parents speak, the board members listen and remove offensive books that corrupt the spirits and morals of children.  This leave us to conclude what everyone has been saying all along….East End students and families are viewed as less than human by the board members.  As a result, this board, this superintendent, and their stooges do nothing to protect the minds, spirits, and bodies of those they consider to be less than human and treat them accordingly.

I feel another Office of Civil Rights complaint coming on behalf of the East End’s children against the board members.  They protect some and neglect others.

Not only does the district need to organize an East End task force NOW!, They also need to complete a full review of all of the books that they permit students to read. If the book violates the student code of conduct, it should not be permitted in the school.

Henrico school to host author of debated book
 
Monday, Sep 29, 2008 – 12:09 AM

TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER

When Henrico County library and school officials scheduled a talk by author Julia Alvarez at Deep Run High School, they figured many students there would read one of her most popular works.

“How the García Girls Lost Their Accents” was on the required summer reading lists for 11th-grade honors English at several county schools. It also was on the recommended reading lists for all county high school students.

But some parents read the book, too, and complained to the School Board. As a result, the book was removed from required-reading lists.

Alvarez will speak Oct. 7 at Deep Run as part of the county’s All Henrico Reads program. The program encourages residents to read and discuss works by one author.

“The whole idea of this presentation is to get folks to talk,” said Gerald McKenna, director of the Henrico County Public Library.

This is the second year of the All Henrico Reads joint program between the schools and the library. This year’s theme is Linking Libraries, Communities and Cultures. Last year’s was Lost in Time.

This is not the first time Alvarez’s books have been scrutinized by school systems. Several have been banned elsewhere. Alvarez, a teacher, said she sees books as a way teenagers can explore situations in a nonthreatening way.

“Teenagers face amazing challenges in the world today,” she said in a phone interview. “They can see how characters confront these experiences.

“I hope this ruckus becomes the basis for conversations in the classroom about how literature can be an enlightening thing for young people.”

. . .

“How the García Girls Lost Their Accents” tells the story of four sisters who fled the Dominican Republic and their adjustment to life in the United States. Published in 1991, it was selected by the American Library Association as a most notable book. Henrico libraries classify it as an adult book.

It includes sultry language and occasionally graphic descriptions of sexual situations.

Susan Jones, a child psychiatrist and Deep Run parent, wanted to be able to discuss it with her son but said, “when I read it, I was shocked.” She said she objected to its profanity and sexual situations.

“This gives children a mixed message,” Jones said. “It’s hard to sort out the shades of gray. Teenagers need clear messages.”

Jones, whose son was offered an alternate book after she complained, found an ally in School Board member Lisa Marshall.

Marshall said language in some of the book’s passages would violate the county’s Code of Student Conduct. Were a student to send another student some excerpts, it would violate the policy on sexual harassment, she said.

“I was shocked and distressed regarding the content of this book on so many different levels,” Marshall said in an e-mail to the board.

Jean Murray, assistant superintendent of instruction for the Henrico schools, said the choice didn’t raise any red flags. “The author herself is highly recognized” and has written books for age groups from preschoolers to adults, she said.

While not unprecedented, it is rare for parents to question a school’s choice of required and recommended reading materials, Murray said.

“Parents who complain don’t understand how grown up and mature we are,” said Michael Friend, an 11th-grade honors English student at Douglas Freeman High School. “Censoring this work doesn’t do anything but expose the denial that the parents are in.”

Friend said he wasn’t offended by the book, nor had he heard of any classmates who were.

The work, he said, was appropriate for the theme of the quest for the American dream. “I think it was a good selection. It talks about pride and compromise in adjustment to a new culture,” he said.

There have been no complaints about the book being removed from required-reading lists, a school spokesman said. He added that many parents probably don’t know that the change has taken place.

. . .

Murray noted that the selection of “How the García Girls Lost Their Accents” has not been challenged formally in Henrico. It may remain on the shelves at school libraries.

But after hearing parents’ concerns, Murray and Superintendent Fred Morton IV met and made several changes, including reclassifying the book as an adult title, encouraging students to read Alvarez’s teen titles, and removing the banner at the bottom of an online reading list that encouraged students to read the book.

“How the García Girls Lost Their Accents” will not appear on future required-reading lists, Murray said.

And wording will be included on reading assignments, required and recommended, to notify parents that some titles may include mature or sensitive material.

Alvarez’s appearance is not funded by school dollars. She waived her normal fee, and much of the cost of her appearance is being paid by the nonprofit Friends of the Library, McKenna said.

McKenna said there were no plans to include “How the García Girls Lost Their Accents” in the county’s observation of Banned Book Week, which started Saturday.

Recall Signatures Confirmed By Clerk For Removal Of Board Members!

Read more about it below.  Within the next few weeks, we are certain to see the same thing in Henrico!  It is great to see voters fighting back against corrupt, unethical, and unaccountable elected officials that are arrogant, callous, and just plain incompetent as they use their office for themselves as opposed to using it for the people that elected them.  

In Henrico, The Community Council For Integrity In Education, CCIE, reports that more than enough signatures have been collected.  At this point, the legal eagles are compiling the list of criminal charges with corresponding evidence and witnesses to be used along with the petition.

Montgomery, Winston, Bagby, Marshall, and McBride……YOU ARE NEXT!  Once the judge reviews all of the crimes that these board members have committed, the request for both, criminal and civil prosecution against these board members will be guaranteed.

Signatures have been certified in Gloucester recall effort

BY JON CAWLEY

6:26 PM EDT, September 17, 2008

GLOUCESTER

Gloucester’s voter registrar this afternoon finished certifying petition signatures related to an effort to recall four county supervisors, and the documents are expected to be delivered to the Circuit Court by the end of the day.

A group of disgruntled Gloucester residents started an effort earlier this summer to have four county supervisors removed from office. They allege that Teresa Altemus, Michelle Ressler, Gregory Woodard and Robert “Bobby” Crewe conducted county business in secret and have lost the confidence of county residents.

The group, Gloucester County Citizens for Accountable Representation, submitted the signatures of nearly 6,000 people to Gloucester County Circuit Court Clerk Margaret Walker on Sept. 8. The petitions were then sent to Registrar Carole Gates.

But state law only requires that the recall effort contain signatures equal to 10 percent of the number of registered district voters who voted in the last election.

Today, Gates said her office’s certification of petition signatures concluded when they reached the 10 percent threshold.

The development comes in concert with the appointment of a substitute judge to oversee the petition case and a substitute Commonwealth’s Attorney to prosecute criminal charges against four of the county’s seven supervisors.

A pre-trial conference has been scheduled for 3 p.m. tomorrow with substitute Circuit Court Judge Westbrook J. Parker in relation to the recall petitions, Walker said.

Walker also confirmed that Catherine Dodson, a deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney in Virginia Beach, will prosecute the criminal cases but no hearings have been scheduled yet.

All four of the supervisors were indicted by a special grand jury on July 8 on misdemeanor charges of conducting county business in secret, unlawful warrantless search and computer trespass in the dismissal of two former county employees and the hiring of a friend of Altemus as interim county administrator.

Rolfe Middle School Math Teacher Runs For The Hills!

We just received a report that several educators at John Rolfe Middle School are on the verge of quitting due to the chaos, poor leadership, and continued disorder within the school.

In fact, as recently as last Friday, Rolfe lost an eighth grade math teacher, who is said to have claimed that she has had enough of the twice illegally appointed Andy Armstrong, John Rolfe Middle School, and Henrico County Public Schools.  We will note that Paul Jordan is the eighth grade administrator.  Yes, it is the same Jordan that assisted in the assault of an African-American student with special needs when he and Officer Wharton, the school resource officer, pepper sprayed the student AFTER he was handcuffed.  This is also the same Jordan that yells at teachers in front of students, refuses to discipline students, is said to have been illegally appointed himself, falsified student performance evaluations by backdating them, and is said to have assisted an entire eighth grade class of students in cheating on their math test by providing the answers to them.  Yeah…Rolfe has Henrico’s best and brightest professionals!

The word is that after working at Rolfe, under the twice illegally appointed Armstrong for less than a month, she understood why the students, school, teachers, and parents are living in a pure hell even though Fred Morton, Armstrong’s Big Daddy, has put everyone but God, himself, at the school to help the incompetent Armstrong.

We all know that God does not help the devil, nor does He help those that are lazy, stealing paychecks, neglecting children, and don’t have enough sense to help themselves.

We have also received reports that several instructional aides have been contacted and begged to return to John Rolfe Middle School due to the staff shortage, but have refused until the twice illegally appointed Armstrong is removed.

Will Fred Morton, Henrico’s superintendent remove Armstrong, of course not!  Morton cares more about his pride and saving face than he does about the deteriorating educational experiences of black, low income, and special needs students.  

This man is truly heartless, sacrificing innocent children just so he can keep a crony in position!  After all, our central office source shared that last year, when he illegally appointed Armstrong the first time, after Armstrong was rejected by another middle school, Morton said that “I will move everyone out of Rolfe before I will remove Andy!  He will  stay no matter how horrible he is!”

We guess that when Morton said that he would move everyone out of Rolfe before he would remove Armstrong, he meant the children too……..

Stupid is as stupid does.  Life is hard, but it is harder when you are stuck on stupid like Fred Morton, who proudly proclaims how he failed the seventh grade.  Is that the grade that they taught character education in?

One thing is for sure, Morton and the board are far too familiar and comfortable with failure.  They is so comfortable that they promote it, protect it, lie for it, pay for it, steal for it, cover-up for it, and will even destroy the life of a child for it!

The word is that more teachers will be jumping ship at Rolfe, and we will be here to expose it to the world, but parents are the only ones that can get Armstrong out, even if he brags about the fact that he will never be removed because Morton is an ass that will not be embarrassed again.

Ms. Lucas Goes To Washington!

Ms. Lucas, a phenomenal educational advocate for the students, educators, and families within Henrico County Public Schools, recently announced that she has received an invitation to speak in our nation’s capitol as an advocate.

During last week’s school board meeting, Lucas invited all parents, students, grandparents, community leaders, educators, administrators, and others to share their stories of struggle and pain when fighting to ensure that Henrico County Public School’s leaders educate EVERY child in the spirit of excellence, not just the ones on the West End.

During this evening’s community meeting, Lucas shared that she has received nearly 100 emails from those that attended the school board meeting last week.  She also shared that many that attended the meeting have shared that they are ready to move toward action by organizing protests, developing petitions, and bringing bus loads of people to the school board meetings.  

Others were so disgusted by the displays of the school board members like Montgomery, Bagby, McBride, and Winston, that they have committed to removing them by obtaining additional signatures outside of the ones collected by the members of CCIE.

Lucas shared that this invitation is an assignment that God has sent her on.  She went on to state that she could not go to our nation’s capitol just to tell her own story of Henrico’s abuse, retaliation, discrimination, falsification, and blatant institutionalized racism that was committed against her by Morton and the board members.  She plans to distribute CD’s of all the conversations and documents regarding her ordeal and that of others to all parties that she meets with.

“This is about accountability for the corrupt demons that have run Henrico County Public Schools into the ground.  Nearly a year ago, I stood before that board and told them that I would loose my job and escalate this issue to the highest levels possible in order to save our children, their futures, and their lives.  I know that neither they, nor I expected that I would receive an invitation to speak in DC.  I expect to take it higher than that if possible because this is a matter of life or death.  The Mortons, Montgomeries, Winstons, Bagbies, Marshalls, Armstrongs, Royals, and others within the district do not get it.  I will not be stopped.  Our parents will not be stopped.  Our cause will not be stopped. The more that they try to stop it, the stronger we become.  We are in a vicious fight to save the lives of our children.  Henrico’s leaders are not in the fight, they have proven that over and over again.  As a result, after over two years of trying to work through the system and being harassed for doing so, I am now going to sing our stories from the capitol of the nation for the WORLD to hear all that is ugly about Henrico County Public Schools…the truth.  Morton should have listened to me instead of being a racist.  Now, the entire world will know the truth about him, the board, and this district.  Why? because I will tell it all!”

Lucas cannot be stopped!  She is also scheduled to appear on a national talk show next month in order to provide an interview regarding her journey as an advocate in Henrico.  She shared that she will invite all those that email UGOTNERVE to be a part of that interview in order to share their stories and demand that the Department of Justice launch a full investigation into every aspect of Henrico County Public Schools.

To join Ms. Lucas, email us at UGOTNERVE1@gmail.com.

It’s Official, A Formal OCR Complaint Has Been Filed Against Winston And The Board

During this evening’s SIU organizational meeting, where sixteen more individuals were added to the investigative units throughout Henrico County Public Schools, a formal complaint was filed online with The Office Of Civil Rights on behalf of African-American parents, students, and residents within the county.

The complaint alleges that Diana Winston, Henrico County Public School’s Chairracist, has a pattern of intentionally violating the public comment timeframe for whites, but continues to cut-off blacks when they are speaking during the public comments.

The minutes from previous school board meetings, as well as the names of over fifty individuals that attended last week’s meeting where Winston blatantly discriminated against an African-American mother, but extended the time for a white woman, with no objection from the other board members, was also forwarded to the Office of Civil Rights.

In addition, the African-American family whose student was called “IGNORANT” by a white teacher, then had the comment justified by twice illegally appointed Andy Armstrong, the principal of Rolfe, have also began the process of filing a discrimination complaint with the Office of Civil Rights.

This is just the THIRD week of classes for the district and all of this hell has broken loose!

That is what happens when you refuse to listen to voices like Ms. Lucas, who exposed these issues nearly a year ago and repeatedly requested that the board and superintendent act in order to save children from abuse and harm.  Instead of valuing Lucas’ words, because she is an woman of color, Morton, Montgomery, King, and the others went into “racist-mode,” clearly being insulted by the fact that a woman of color could put them to shame, be more intelligent than them, and most importantly, advocate effectively for children and families that they thought to be animal-like and less than human.

Well, Morton and the board did not act to save children, but they have acted like asses, and continue to do so, all the while destroying the lives of children with no regret for their own personal pleasure!

What makes them any different that a child molester?

Bossieau, Choose Children, NOT Chumps!

One of our readers had to call Ms. Bossieau, a representative of John Rolfe Middle School’s PTA, out regarding a shocking statement that she made during this past week’s school board meeting.

Prior to reading a statement from Rolfe’s PTA president, and prior to being one of two white women that were permitted to go over the three minute public comment timeframe, out of over twenty that spoke that were not allowed to go over, Bossieau made a truly wreckless statement.  

We will excuse her comments because obviously, she was speaking out of ignorance.

Her statement reflected what is clearly, her own personal agenda and biases with no regard for the welfare of ALL of John Rolfe’s children.  From parent reports, it seems as though Bossieau is the type that as long as HER child is fine and treated fairly, then all is well.  As long as the principal is weak and she can control him, then all is well.  She also seems to have questionable judgement regarding her endorsement and support of Andy Armstrong, the twice illegally appointed principal of John Rolfe Middle School.

What did Bossieau say?  She thanked “Gotta-go-to-the-potty-in-the-middle-of-the-school-board-meeting” John Montgomery, and “can’t tell the truth if my life depended on it,” Fred Morton; for taking action in John Rolfe last year and she assured them that “Rolfe is on the right track now.” (paraphrase)

What tha’?  

Ok, let’s give Bossieau the benefit of a doubt because she does not work at Rolfe, is not a student at Rolfe, and seems to only blindly believe what Armstrong tells her, as long as she can have her way in the school. We also confirmed that she did not even have a student at Rolfe last year, so how could she make the statement that she made unless she has motives other than what is best for Rolfe’s children. We hope that she is not one of Armstrong’s cronies that only care about adults, even if it means that Rolfe’s children continue to suffer.

One thing is for sure, under the leadership of twice illegally appointed Andy Armstrong, courtesy of Fred Morton and the school board members; Rolfe’s children are definitely on “a track.”  

THE TRACK STRAIGHT TO HELL!!

Rolfe on the “track” to producing criminals and drop-outs due to the poor instructional leadership that is failing to ensure excellence in education.

Rolfe is on the “track” to producing emotionally and mentally abused children as a result of teachers like Seivard and Taylor, who are permitted to openly and repeatedly abuse black and disabled students verbally and physically, with no remorse and no effort to protect Rolfe’s children from them by Morton, Armstrong, and the board.  These people have free access to molest Rolfe’s children in every imaginable way.

Rolfe is on the “track” to supporting the lying, falsifying, and retaliating habits of twice illegally appointed Andy Armstrong toward parents, grandparents, teachers, and students with no disciplinary action being taken against him by Morton and the board.

Rolfe is on the “track” to ensuring that, due to the growing and uncheck gang activity within the school, black males will go through Rolfe’s school to the prison pipeline. (That seems to be exactly what racist people like Armstrong, Morton, and the board members want for Rolfe’s black children.)

Rolfe is on the right “track” to continuing to violate the civil rights of children with special needs as they intimidate and lie to their parents about what is really going on within the school.

Rolfe is even on “track” to support the continued employment of incompetent individuals like the Davina Johnson, Sherri Littles, Paul Jordans, Karen Woods, and others within the school; who have absolutely no heart felt commitment to children or their futures.  They are just there to steal paychecks from the county as they refuse to do their jobs, without consequence.

Yes, Ms. Bossieau, Rolfe is definitely on the right “track”!  (Somebody sit her down in  a corner somewhere to think about her ignorant statement….and to think, she is part of the PTA, a group that fights for CHILDREN, not CHUMPS!)

The East End Is In BIG, BIG, BIG Trouble!

Henrico’s East End is in BIG, BIG, BIG, BIG trouble!

Parents, residents, and students have lost a great deal of respect, if they had any to begin with, for the two elected officials to the Henrico County School board that are suppose to be the voice of the East End, but instead ignore, belittle, and discredit the voices of the East End.

John Montgomery and Lamont Bagby, or tweedle dee and tweedle dum, as one parent named them,  are perfect examples of horrible elected officials who caught political amnesia the day after they won the election.  We won’t even talk about the fact that Montgomery can’t hold his water to the point that he has to request a recess of the board meeting in order to go to the bathroom, and the fact that Bagby’s public speaking skills are just as poor as his wardrobe.  

Bagby also insists upon being Montgomery’s flunkie.  He really needs to choose better role models other than an unethical attorney that seconds motions for which he has no idea of what he is approving and runs from parents when he refuses to justify his voting for a lying principal that nearly killed a child.

Montgomery’s campaign was founded on the inequality that exist between the East End and the West End. Then, after his own son was transferred to a West End school, he changed his position.  Or did he? 

 

John MontgomerySee his campaign website, where he stated:

Our children deserve the opportunity to be the best that they can be and reach their full potential. I will fight to BRING EQUALITY of opportunity to eastern Henrico schools and make certain that all of Henrico’s students are prepared to be productive citizens.” Web site: www.electmontgomery.com  

 Lamont BagbyDuring his campaign, Lamont Bagby stated that:

“Issues he believes are paramount to addressing academic DISPARITY include parental/community involvement, teacher support/training, mentorship programs, pre-K education, alternative education and vocational education. He wants to fund solutions to help subgroups that are preventing schools from meeting state benchmarks, and wants to fund mentorship programs that address the needs of the population.”

For some reason, during last night’s school board meeting, BOTH of these idiots DENIED that there is INEQUALITY and a DISPARITY between the East End and the West End, despite using the inequality between the two sides of the county as method of getting the votes to put their sorry behinds in office.

Bagby even tried to make an excuse for the board’s incompetence by claiming, “we are only nine months old.”  Well, in nine months, both Montgomery and Bagby had done a fine job of silencing those that speak out on behalf of the East End, covering-up the rape, abuse, and substandard conditions that are equal to third world nations, and supporting corrupt leaders that they know are as incompetent as they are.   

John Montgomery has made false statements, physically ran from parents that attempted to question him about his approval of the twice illegally appointed principal of John Rolfe Middle School, Andy Armstrong, and failed to respond to parent’s emails regarding student sexual assaults and the pepper spraying and covering up of an African-American student with special needs by the twice illegally appointed principal that his ignorance approved.

So, our question is, how are these morons the East End’s voice?

What does that make Montgomery and Bagby? 

LIARS!!!!!  Maybe that is why Montgomery had to stop the meeting to go to the bathroom, because he needed to put out a fire….

 

And they are the worse types of LIARS because WHEN THEY LIE, CHILDREN DIE!  

Both of these clowns owe Henrico’s East End’s residents a formal apology for lying and having no integrity, then selling not only our families, but our children out for a vote!

What does that make the parents and residents of Henrico County if they continue to remain in office?

FOOLS!  Unless we remove them.

This CAN’T possibly be the best that the East End has to offer as voices of the people.  

UGOTNERVE would like to offer these candidates for their replacements.  

We are sure that THEY can sit through a board meeting without having to recess to “go potty,” remember what they are making motion on, and even dress better!  They may even accept payment in the form of bananas so that the parents can demand that their salaries be redirected for hot water, safe buildings, and special education resources on the East End!  

 

KEEP UP THE NERVE!

SIU ALERT: Henrico’s Blatant Racism, From The Board Room To The Class Room

Parents, residents, and community advocates are OUTRAGED at the blatant instances of institutionalized racism that have been demonstrated, defended, and promoted by Henrico County Public Schools this past week. And remember, because Fred Morton, Bradford King, and the school board members spend a considerable amount of tax payer’s monies to cover up these incidents and silence/intimidate those that would report them, these are only TWO racists incidents of many that we actually know about!

IT IS OFFICIAL, WHITE RACIST LEADERS THAT ARE CORRUPTING THE ENTIRE DISTRICT ARE ALIVE AND WELL AND ARE SHOWING THEIR TAILS WITH NO FEAR OF DISCIPLINE, EVEN TO THE POINT OF VERBALLY ABUSING BLACK CHILDREN AND BLACK MOTHERS!

While UGOTNERVE has repeatedly and consistently exposed each instance of racism from the board, to Fred Morton, to Andy Armstrong, and more; we are elated at the fact that so many African-American parents organized in order to voice their utter disgust regarding the blatant and racist actions of Diana Winston, Chairwoman of Henrico County Public Schools.

YES, DIANA WINSTON HAS PROVEN, YET AGAIN, THAT SHE IS A BLATANT RACIST THAT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST AND SILENCES AFRICAN-AMERICANS AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY WITH HER ROLE AS CHAIR OF THE BOARD!

                                                                Diana D. Winston 

What will be next? Will Winston come to the next school board meeting with her true outfit on or perhaps she will borrow one for Morton or Montgomery?

 

During last night’s school board meeting, Winston did it again!  After threatening to have any person that goes over the three minute public comment time frame charged with trespassing and escorted out of the meeting by Henrico Police;  (you know, a threat to keep the niggas in line),  Winston actually instructed a white woman, Ms. Bossieau, to go PAST the three minute time frame, but then, less than five minutes later, demanded that an African-American woman stop her comments because she had gone over.

Nearly eight African-Americans that attended and witnessed Winston’s blatant act of racism have organized to file a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights against WInston, the board, the superintendent, and Henrico County, citing her pattern of discriminatory practices during board meetings in three documented incidents since January of this year.

As one African-American woman stated, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!”  Diana Winston is a rude, insensitive, racist, and a pathetic excuse for a board member.  She is also the worse type of person, one that treats others differently, less than, because of their race.  She can’t deny it now.  She has done it more than once in the presence of over one hundred residents, parents, and students; so now, we are filing the complaint and a civil suit against her, personally and professionally for her abuse of her position in order to give whites the upper hand and a voice; but then shut down African-Americans that have the same rights, same needs, and are just as human as the whites that she upholds in their wrong no matter what.”

DIANA WINSTON, SHAME ON YOU!  YOU ARE A RACIST! YOU ARE MEAN SPIRITED! YOU ARE NOT FAIR! INSTEAD OF APOLOGIZING TO PEOPLE OF COLOR WITHIN HENRICO FOR YOUR RACISM, YOU CONTINUE TO DO IT AND HAVE NO REMORSE!

SHAME ON YOU!

Unfortunately, the ugly racism does not stop with Diana Winston’s ignorance ass……

A white, racist, blue-eyed, blonde hair, seventh grade reading teacher, April Seivard, at John Rolfe Middle School, called an African-American female student “IGNORANT.”  

This white, racist, blue-eyed, blonde headed seventh grade teacher, Seivard, is also the same teacher that gave the same 12-year old student a book entitled, “I Am Now The Girlfriend Of A Sex God,” which resulted in the student’s mother filing a complaint with the school about the book, its title, and its soft pornography content.

Now, Rolfe’s children are not only corrupted by sexually inappropriate reading materials, but they are also subject to verbal and emotional abuse by their own teachers, who are supported in their criminal behavior by guess who?  UGOT IT….the twice illegally appointed incompetent principal, Andy Armstrong, who ALWAYS chooses to protect his adult friends instead of innocent children.  Hmmm, it makes one wonder if Armstrong and Seivard are more than just co-workers based on how he excused and defended her behavior to the student’s parent by saying that “we all make mistakes.”

Each time that Armstrong opens his mouth, he removes all doubt as to the fact that he is truly an idiot!

The white, racist, blue-eyed, blonde headed seventh grade teacher, Seivard, lied (just like Armstrong does) to the student’s parent regarding the incident initially, but after being questioned by James Gordon, the only REAL administrator at John Rolfe Middle School, especially since Fred Moron removed any sense of competence in order to clear the way for his crony, the twice illegally appointed principal of Rolfe, Andy Armstrong; the teacher admitted that she did, indeed, call one of OUR children “IGNORANT” out of anger.

That sorry excuse for a teacher, Seivard, is fortunate that ……well, we think that what should have been done to her, besides being fired for posing a verbally abusive threat toward children, and being extremely rude and arrogant towards parents, is that she should have been suspended immediately, along with Armstrong for trying to cover-up yet another racially motivated crime within the district. 

Will Morton or the board suspend or terminate either one of them?  Of course not, they are WHITE and to be perfectly honest, Seivard and Armstrong are just following the racist, uncaring, lying, deceitful, abusive, and retaliatory example that Morton, central office, and the board members are giving them.

While the parent was assured that a “letter would be placed in the teacher’s file,” a group of African-American parents do not feel as though the discipline for this teacher fits the crime.  She verbally and emotionally abused a 12-year old child, lied to cover it up, then issued an after school detention to the student as further retaliation.

It gets worse.  Reports indicate that twice-illegally appointed-John Montgomery-nominated-school board approved- Andy Armstrong, attempted to justify, defend, and protect the white, racist, blonde hair, blue-eyed teacher that verbally abused the 12-year old African-American student.  To make matters worse, the child was called “IGNORANT” in front of all of her classmates, who later served as witnesses to the incident that the teacher attempted to lie about, and that Armstrong attempted to cover-up.

UGOTNERVE MUST recognize James Gordon for refusing to go along with the corrupt leadership at John Rolfe Middle School that is STILL LYING, FALSIFYING, RETALIATING, AND ABUSING CHILDREN WITH NO REMORSE.  All under the leadership of twice illegally appointed Andy Armstrong.

Who is really IGNORANT?  Fred Morton, Andy Armstrong, Marilyn Royal, Philip Jepson, John Montgomery, Linda McBride, Lisa Marshall, Lamont Bagby, and that racist Diana Winston.

They continue to keep the most pathetic people in place that act just like them as they violate the civil rights of Henrico’s African-American children, educators, and families. 

And yes, another Office of Civil Rights complaint will be filed against Armstrong, Morton, Royal, Jepson, and the board members for continue to knowingly subject John Rolfe’s African-American children to racist, incompetent, and abusive individuals that are not only negatively impacting the education of children, but are blatant child abusers and protectors of child abusers.

Oh yeah…….despite the fact that this teacher poses an immediate threat to the emotional and mental health of Rolfe’s black children; neither she, nor Armstrong were suspended or dismissed for the threat that they posed.  Why?

BECAUSE A BLACK CHILD, A BLACK PARENT, A BLACK FAMILY, A BLACK EDUCATOR IN HENRICO COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS VIEW AS LESS THAN HUMAN BY FRED MORTON, JOHN MONTGOMERY, LINDA MCBRIDE, LAMONT BAGBY, AND LISA MARSHALL…..AND THAT RACIST DIANA WINSTON.

BLACK AND HENRICO DO NOT GO TOGETHER, AND NO!  THIS DISTRICT IS NOT INTERESTED IN EDUCATING ALL CHILDREN.  TO EDUCATE ALL CHILDREN, ALL CHILDREN MUST BE VALUED.

What is the next step?  As one parent stated, it is time to call upon the national civil rights groups in order to begin marching and picketing John Rolfe Middle School, and the removal of Andy Armstrong as well as April Seivard.

We agree!

One thing is for certain, if you are a racist school board member, racist principal that supports racists teachers, and a lying teacher that verbally and emotionally abuses African-American children, then Henrico County Public Schools is for YOU!  Not only will they hire you, they will promote and protect your racist ways, even if it means that a child’s spirit, trust, and self-value is destroyed.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS WADE KIZER, Henrico’s Commonwealth Attorney, whose oath requires that he protect the citizens of Henrico from people like Morton, Armstrong, S?  WHY WON’T HE INVESTIGATE THIS RACIAL ISSUE?  WE KNOW WHY, BECAUSE HE IS ONE OF THEM PERHAPS?????

SHAME ON HENRICO!  God knows how many other “undercover” racists are in the board room and the classrooms of Henrico County Public Schools?

KEEP THE REPORTS COMING!

John Montgomery, The Hypocrite

Our parents shared an email from John Montgomery, the unethical Varina district school board representative for Henrico County Public Schools.

As we reported months ago, Montgomery was one of the board members that issued a dismissal letter to Ms. Lucas stating that she was unprofessional when she used capital letters in an email.  As the letter from Montgomery and the others stated, “Lucas was yelling when she utilized capital letters.”

Well, guess what?! UGOTNERVE received an email authored by John Montgomery, where HE USED CAPITAL LETTERS WHEN RESPONDING TO PARENTS’ CONCERNS ABOUT INEQUALITY ON THE EAST END.  Yes, the same issue that Ms. Lucas confronted Montgomery and the other incompetent school board members about months ago.  

Montgomery and the other board members attempted to silence and dismiss Lucas by illegally terminating her and violating her civil rights.  This is just one more piece of evidence that Lucas can use in her civil suit, just like the others.

An excerpt from double standard Montgomery’s email:

“Also, please know that I, the other school board members and the HCPS personnel are very concerned and trying very hard to make a good decision regarding allocating resources to meet all of our pressing needs. 

 OUR VOICES ARE BEING HEARD.  YOU ARE BEING HEARD DIRECTLY AT THE SCHOOL BOARD LEVEL, AND THE SCHOOL BOARD IS SPEAKING ON YOUR BEHALF AT THE GENERAL COUNTY GOVERNMENT LEVEL.”

Why is he YELLING at Henrico’s mothers when they are just trying to advocate for their children?  This email proves that a white man in Henrico County Public Schools is held to a different standard than an African- American woman.  Yes, the board is racist and discriminatory, and they do not practice what they preach as they live out their double standard lives.

We are certain that Montgomery will receive no reprimand, suspension, or dismissal for this because of his race and sex. 

JOHN MONTGOMERY IS A HYPOCRITE! (Yes, we are yelling!)

KEEP UP THE NERVE FOR HENRICO’S CHILDREN!

The NFL Fires Incompetent Leaders Quicker Than Henrico Schools!

Team UGOTNERVE enjoys NFL football just like any other American.

This week, during our monthly staffing, a profound statement was made by one of our SIU contributors.

The NFL will terminate, suspend, and/or remove a player and/or coach for failing to act in the best interests of the team before the idiots at Henrico County Public Schools will remove a deceitful and unqualified superintendent, lying and incompetent middle school principal, weak and threatening special educator, and unethical and uncaring guidance counselor.

They went on to say that Henrico will even retain an attorney that prides himself on “the truth not mattering,” and fail to even hold themselves accountable, as school board members, for how their own incompetence and indifference is resulting in Henrico County Public School’s team of children loosing the game repeatedly.

In essence, the reality is that Henrico County Public Schools could take a lesson from the NFL.  It does not take them months and years to realize how detrimental one coach, one superintendent, one teacher, one principal, one counselor, one attorney, one school board member; can be for “THE TEAM.”

Only idiots like the ones in Henrico Schools, would keep putting the SAME players on the field, knowing that they do not have the skills, passion, or true desire to play the game with heart to win it for the ENTIRE team.  Most of them, just like Andy Armstrong, Fred Morton, John Montgomery, Lamont Bagby, Marilyn Royal, Davina Johnson, Regina Brown, Paul Jordan, Karen Woods, and others;  are just there to steal their paychecks from hardworking tax payers who only want what they are entitled to, excellence in education for their children.  After all, the only place that you get paid for lying, forging, and corruption is in jail!

Will they get a clue?  After all, the “GAME OF LIFE” that our children are playing is far more serious and valuable than the game of football.

KEEP UP THE NERVE FOR OUR CHILDREN!
