It was not about the cartwheel so much as it was her right to perform a cartwheel on a plot of land I paid for with my taxes and the nanny-state mindset of government schools...
History repeated itself in Australia last year. Virtually the same story of tyrants denying a child happiness. Kylie Bushgens is her name--I am sure you heard about it if I did here in the States...
The story came to me because my daughter's story [which went around the world and was translated into foreign languages] was cited in the Australian episode which unfolded in an identical fashion.
My daughter and I were both interviewed for the Australian story last year and I read about it in one of your 'page three' tabloids so I know it was published there...
Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states but is being challenged in California's court system by Patton-like elites who are afraid of losing control of children and their parents...
For me, certification would not be worth the paper it is written on. I was kicked out of college and proud of it. I was smarter than they were and they didn't know what to do with me. You can read about it in my biography...
I think it is obvious to anyone that 'professionalism' does not necessarily suggest competency. I am smarter than the 'professionals' and determine her curriculum...
Prior to the imposition of government education circa 1834, education was in the home for the most part and a much safer environment for children to learn...
I make the decisions on my daughters upbringing and education only. If other parents fail to stand up to similar abuse, unfortunately they are accomplices to arrogant, unconstitutional behavior. I have control only over my daughter who is homeschooled here in Nevada which is very friendly to alternative education...
I pay her salary. I live in Nevada now but when I lived in California, her income originated from my wages which is directly deducted [unconstitutionally] and transferred to Sacramento where it funds the 'educational system of the state...'
Patton works for me. I pay her salary and everything on that campus. If you perceived that discussion as a threat that is your own interpretation. Patton never used the term to me or anyone else that I am aware. But it is about time taxpayers begin to punish the education establishment with episodes such as this and take their money out of the system. It is a very poor return on equity...
I sat down with Patton and told her that if she did not like WHERE Deirdre was doing cartwheels, to find an area where she could. And I warned her that I had already told a reporter about this abuse of power and should she proceed with suspension, the Tribune was VERY interested in this story...
"ROLE MODEL" i wouldnt say that why would someone want there child to be a trouble at school causing drama she was warned... and was ask to stop but kept going
From the timeline above-the facts could not be clearer. The administration was arrogantly intransigent and paid the price. We had asked for 'patch' and they refused. Translated into foreign language around the world; the civil disobedience from the paradigm of an eleven year-old. Deirdre is an extraordinary role model for all of us...
Wow this is antisemite terrorist propaganda.We need 2fight the iranins in iran so we dont have 2fight them here.Ulibs need 2b detained untl ucan prove u r not a terorist.If any iraqi tries 2take myFREEDOM I will blowup his cave cmd centr.IranNchina hve been stckpling WMDs2 use aginst us an our Israeli friends in th form of a mushroom cloud in th global wr n terror.When the market crash+bio/nuke battle comes we need world govt.+world bank+hive mind+every1 get microchip so prs bush cn keep us safe
That principal is going to be kicked in the rear! Blah... I'm 19 and I do cartwheels too... in hallways and in small rooms... and everywhere! Deidre rocks:)
kids at my school do flips and stuff everyday. there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. if the kid gets hurt then its their fault. The principle of this grlk is really stupid!!!
Creativity must be stifled whenever possible. This child must be enslaved to the principle's wishes. It is following mindless rules that made America great. (Seriously, though, she probably would have gotten off easier selling dope. This country is run by fools. Is it any wonder people don't respect authority?)
Obviously Public School educated. This outrageous, internationally decried apostacy of innocence was not about the cartwheel--it was the tyranny of proscription of a 'right of passage' for any child on property that is paid for by me, the taxpayer...
shut up poilit1962. He has a right for that stupid principal, it was all a dumb thing and shoudn't of gone on tv. And don't call his girl an insubordinate child! Ur not the boss, if u don't like the video, than why don't u go tell ur mom.
Your irresponsibility as a parent to teach your daughter to respect authority is appalling to say the least. I agree 100% with the principle, your daughter could have gotten hurt let alone injure another student. Had an injury occurred your demeanor and tone would be different and you would be suing the school for incompetence. Teachers represent authority a parent away from home, no means no! Congratulations for adding yet another insubordinate child into our society!
After picking up my daughter, she divulges that she was admonished for doing cartwheels on the playground at lunch. I considered the event anomalous and probably involving extenuating circumstances.
09/29
After picking up my daughter, she explains that she was admonished once again and without leaving the campus, investigated by finding the instructor involved.
HEY I GO TO THIS SCHOOL AND I'LL TELL YOU THE REAL STORY:
She was doing cartwheels in THE HALLWAYS. The teachers said she COULD do cartwheels but out on the field so that it would'nt be a destractionn but she kept doing it cuz her dad told her to-that's why she got suspended.Plus you know how she said she'd be homeschooled,she actually CAME BACK for 2 more years!This whole thing was for her Dad to get publicity cuz he was running for something in the district.send me a message!
My wife meets with and electronic mail correspondence sent to Patton
10/25
Nearly a month later, she responds perfunctorily by electronic mail without offering any compromise. A phone call from Patton offers no compromise and I dutifully warn her that I have already alerted the media about this episode.
My daughter begins to receive detention time at lunch for her civil disobedience...
If Patton had Deirdre's interest at heart she would have found an area that accommodated her passion as any decent person would have if she was sincerely concerned about her safety and others as she claimed. But safety was only a distraction to her predilection towards pathological control of these government coercive, medication, indoctrination and incubation facilities that are known as public schools.
