MPS The New Jim Crow
You want to know what Resegregation looks like in 2014 or the New Jim Crow? It looks like Supt. Margaret Allen and the entire MPS Board of Education. LAMP is going to the Montgomery Mall. Remember MPS didn't have enough money to move, you know when Supt. Margaret Allen said that. Well hey they have mysteriously found the funds. I hear now the funds were given by Trenholm State Technical College (allegedly) and they needed some others to "front" the dollars so yall wouldn't know. CAN YOU CONNECT THE DOTS PLEASE. It's amazing though how we have a majority Black Board and Black Superintendent and they are the ones who continue to disinfranchise Black Children. If they are NOT going to provide quality education and quality buildings, supplies, and resources to all children then they Should NOT do it for some. It's called Equality and Fairness. Let me just show you how they are resegregating. LAMP is on the Civil Rights Trail high ranking school in the nation all that is good but heyyyyy why not keep it there so people who are visiting know this. Mayor McRevenue and others pimp the trail on everything else but it's not good enough for the White & Asian kids to stay. While other schools can't get School Patrol, Left Turn Signal lights, Books, Supplies they will go further in debt to make it happen for Mayor McRevenue. I didn't think Margaret Allen would turn out to be a "do girl" but have mercy she is about as bad as Babs, excuse me fmr Supt. Thompson. The cycle of stupidity continues and the children are the ones who suffer. Why not bring Torch Bearer Schools programs to MPS Margaret Allen? It's a dirty shame but I guarantee after they move LAMP into the Montgomery Mall you are toast. If no one has told you today Slavery ended a good while back so you don't have to follow Mayor McMassa's rules, you actually free. That;s why I say come Nov 4th Vote for Deena Weston to replace Robert Porterfield. All Board Members and Supt need to be replaced, you never leave residue when you cleaning house

Impeach Judge Mark Fuller
U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller, who presides in the Middle District of Alabama, has walked away from a domestic violence case with a plea deal that avoids jail time and could expunge the case from his record. He might even be able to return to the bench. For life. How can he serve as and fairly arbitrate, advise, adjudicate, or administer justice in a court of law when he has violated the law and no fair and equal justice has been served to him? This is a direct insult to the Code of Conduct for United States Judges in particular :CANON 1: A JUDGE SHOULD UPHOLD THE INTEGRITY AND INDEPENDENCE OF THE JUDICIARY
An independent and honorable judiciary is indispensable to justice in our society. A judge should maintain and enforce high standards of conduct and should personally observe those standards, so that the integrity and independence of the judiciary may be preserved. The provisions of this Code should be construed and applied to further that objective.
- CANON 2: A JUDGE SHOULD AVOID IMPROPRIETY AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY IN ALL ACTIVITIES
- (A) Respect for Law. A judge should respect and comply with the law and should act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.
- (B) Outside Influence. A judge should not allow family, social, political, financial, or other relationships to influence judicial conduct or judgment. A judge should neither lend the prestige of the judicial office to advance the private interests of the judge or others nor convey or permit others to convey the impression that they are in a special position to influence the judge. A judge should not testify voluntarily as a character witness.
- (C) Nondiscriminatory Membership. A judge should not hold membership in any organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, or national origin.
Domestic Violence is a serious offense. Recently, NFL Player Ray Rice was banned from the NFL and it is very unfair that a Judge can beat his wife and leave cuts on her face and walk away with a slap on his wrist. "Mrs. Fuller said her husband was drunk and that he pulled her hair, hit and kicked her and threw her down."
This is an injustice to not only the position he holds but to all Women. Judge Fuller needs to be impeached as soon as possible to send a message to all domestic violence victims.

Kevin Elkins incendiary statements for Ratings, promote and incite violence!
Kevin Elkins is a radio talk show host who is not only is a sexist, race baiting, uneducated individual he is a bully. Because I spoke out against how our educational system is run amongst other issues in this corrupt city of Montgomery he is bullying those who stand in my defense. I did go on another radio talk show and asked the Manager of the radio station not to allow him to come to his radio show when he is let go off of his current show because he is stupid. From that he posted a blog on Facebook about what I said. I have no problem with that however when a woman stood in my defense he attacked her with words that in my opinion could cause a crazy follower of his to attack her or even me. As a public figure in the media he should be mindful of his words and choose them wisely. Lest we forget Cong. Gifford's shooting! After Palin posted a map with crosshairs on them it incited a nut to go out and shoot her. Gov. Palin had a map with crosshairs for those districts to target in 2010. Is this comparable? Am I making too much of this? No. We cannot shortchange individuals who promote violence because they don't agree with them. Below is the Facebook conversation between Elkins and the female. AFTER READING PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF WHAT I AM ANGRY ABOUT IS SUBSTANTIAL IN LOGIC & REASONING FOR MY BELIEF THAT ELKINS STATEMENTS COULD INCITE VIOLENCE OR IF I AM MAKING INCENDIARY STATEMENTS FOR RATINGS. YOU BE THE JUDGE. READ BELOW:
- Elizabeth Snider Conner Kevin, it is beyond unprofessional to denigrate the character of a caller because you disagree with her opinions. Karen may not be a radio personality, but she is an engaged citizen who wants the best for the students in Montgomery's public schools. While she and I may not see eye to eye on the best way to approach problems, I have the utmost respect for her passion to improve our schools. I have seen her at many MPS BOE meetings, but don't recall having ever seen you. If you wish to earn people's respect, insulting individual citizens is not the way to do so.Sunday at 5:40pm
- Kevin Elkins well elizabeth, i did not throw the first punch, making persnal attacks on ppl, she did, i've akways ben told, if you don't want to get hit, don't get in the ring.. but if one does get in the ring expect to be hit!, my point exactly.. go to all the meetings you want to, what has she changed, "nothing" i have had a child in public schools and was engaged in the battle, again because we take fed. dollars, there are some things that they can't/wont do out of fear of losing that money, "for the free breakfast, lunch , or whatever programs, it is a very simple thing to change he school system, just teach and uncle sugar to put it where the sun don shine, but we won't , education is the giant prostitute , and the "johns are in charge"..Sunday at 6:58pm · 1 personLoading...
- Kevin Elkins ps, i have been to plenty of mboe meetings, untill i saw it was a useless exersise and wastge of time, u need a debate on whether to put a disrespectful, unrulely child on the street, but if they wear the confederate ot malcom x shirt to school, or draw a picture of a gun on paper, You Out!!, theres more but you get the point... anyway.. if you cant run with the big dogs, stay your butt on the porch!!Sunday at 7:02pm
- Dale Beach Uncle Sugar! I love that name! Kevin you are so right on that one. The Federal Government has become a sugar daddy to the states and local municipalities!Sunday at 7:44pm
- Elizabeth Snider Conner Frankly, there's quite a difference between a public figure, such as yourself, who is paid to voice his opinions, and a private citizen like Karen. In my view, it's unprofessional and ill-mannered. You can't demand respect, it has to be earned.Sunday at 8:04pm
- Kevin Elkins liz darling, i can tell by the way you wear your hair, cross your t's "you are a flaming liberal", you and i will never see things the same. don't pick fights with public people like me.. because i fighjt in the public arena,,, i am a professional "get in your a - - kind of guy, if you throw at me, my military training wont allow me to just sit there and take, you bring a knife , i will bring a shotgun.. let the games begin.. next caller oh yes, dont forget to tune in to the most exciting talk show in montgomery mon-friday 7-9am www.newsradio1440.comSunday at 8:14pm · 1 person

Mr. Elkins timeout for Silly Season,Stupid!
I called Kevin Elkins of talk radio (Capitol Buzz) Stupid on WKXN talk show because it is my opinion that he is. I said it because he doesn't deliver anything other than: 1)He's a Black Man Trapped in a White Man's Body 2) he says he only believes in Logic & Reason - If so it is his and his only.
Prior to me calling Elkins stupid I said that we are living in serious times in this city, county, state and US. We don't have time for stupidity. I have a low tolerance for stupidity. I don't get kicks off of playing games, belittling,demoralizing,demonizing individuals for ratings. It is amazing tho' that he made the following post about me on FB:"Kevin Elkins
so karen jones thinks i am stupid, well let's talk about that!!! fire away
ever wonder why, ppl who have really never accomplished much, get on talk shows and act as if they have( karen jones), putting a facebook page up and rasing sand at the mboe supt. is not an accomplihment, it is a nusiance, untill you have rn the race, how can you say who best....

It shows how he exudes Feminine Energy. I don't talk the talk, I walk the walk. What does he think talk radio is about-----how about TALK! If they put guests on who are elected officials or community activists etc then we question them on accountability but it is His friend then we the audience have a problem. I attend Board of Education Meetings. I hold community meetings regarding education and it just didn't start with Supt. Barbara Thompson I was doing this in GA however when I moved to AL I started as well.
Another reason why I call him stupid is because he is, he doesn't research just spew out negative remarks with a couple of words he Googled or used his Thesaurus to get antonym or synonym to elude the audience of his intelligence.
Elkins I am not raising sand only about Barbara Thompson I am raising sand about Supt. Barbara Thompson & MPS Board Members because I attend the meetings and listen to the day to day lies. I read the documents and research to find out the ineptness on several issues that I guess since you don't know are unaware and cannot speak on these things. I have a serious issue with accountability and the financial irresponsibility of this Supt. & Board. I met personally with Supt. Thompson and often send e-mails to Supt. and MPS Board Members which usually do not have replies. Again I say talk what you know. None of our traditional HS made AYP that's an issue to voice concern and use logic and reasoning about well how did they make it as far as HS and cannot make Adequate Yearly Progress none of the High Schools(traditional not magnet). Well when the Supt. in December 2010 didn't make a decision to pay the teachers not until the upteenth hour before Christmas it causes low morale, February the Teachers were on Pink Slip alert and scares with the school closing/consolidation reports,community meetings yet the decision was made last year according to the SIG Grant pg. 5 & 12 on some of the schools. So again I say what logic and reasoning are you using?
Whenever I call in to the Capitol Buzz radio show (AM1440) I usually have some stats,facts,research completed as foundation on the issue. Personal feelings in addition to facts = my ability to be as emphatically passionate about whatever issue I take on. Just as you are passionate about the military I am about a plethora(many) of social injustices.
Elkins incites racism and sexism on a daily basis and when he is let go I told Roscoe Miller of WKXN not to allow him to come over to his radio station with that stupidity. We use talk radio for empowerment & education not to have this man child to figure out that he is Black in a Black man's body and to face facts. I have little tolerance for stupidity. This is not Silly Season Mr. Elkins. I have no problem letting you know or anybody else to their face. I am not just talking the talk for your information I attend meetings, write letters, protest, give praise, recognize, appreciate and thank individuals equally. When you get your mind right hollah. Oh I wonder what the Capitol Buzz sponsors think about you inciting all of this tomfoolery racism and sexism? I may have to ask them and blog their answers.

Tea bagger Over brewed!
Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh who often criticizes Pres. Obama on not being fiscally responsible finds himself in more than boiling water. No matter how much cream, sugar, or lemon added this Tea Party Congressman has been over brewed which should be distasteful to all no matter which party you belong. It is alleged that he owes more than $100,000 in unpaid child support, well ain’t that calling the pot calling the kettle black? Rep. Walsh said in a video that went viral,” “I won’t place one more dollar of debt upon the backs of my kids and grandkids unless we structurally reform the way this town spends money!” Walsh starts the video by saying, “President Obama, quit lying. Have you no shame, sir? In three short years, you’ve bankrupted this country.” My,oh my Rep. Walsh sounded a little steamed at the President about the debt while he has placed more than $100k on the backs of his wife and mother of his children and his own children. She filed for divorce in December. While he continues to brew over Pres. Obama’s presidency he forgot that he hasn’t paid his debt to his own society of children. No worries, Rep, Walsh will be out of hot water soon because due to redrawing congressional boundaries, he’s been mapped Walsh out of his district. We shall see if he steeps over this.

Gender Neutral wth?
Sweden Preschool tries the Gender Neutral approach instead of using the words boy and girl or pronouns him or her, they teach the children to refer to each other as "friends". Next they will teach these children cats & dogs are animals don't differentiate. These kids will have no sense or sensibility of the "real world" and once they find our that not all people are your friends what in the hell will happen to these children. Pre-K aged children are most impressionable and this set of children will have a notion that the world is a happy place where everything is hunky-dory it doesn't rain, evil doesn't exist and the world has the small world theme playing in their minds each day. If the parents allow for this I hope that they remain in Stockholm,Sweden because when they see and hear the pronouns "him,her,she,or he" being used it will drive them into shock and conversations which may get him or her a black eye by a "friend". lol

Out of Sight, Out of Mind Part 2!
I posted this about a week ago and lo' and behold the story is in the Montgomery Advertiser today wow..Parents of Disabled or Special Needs Children there has been three complaints filed with AL State Dpt of Ed citing MPS for not educating children with emotional disturbance..Instead they are sent to ALTERNATIVE school,Juvenile System or Home.
Below are email correspondence that I started Jun 18 (7 days ago) regarding the aforementioned article and Press Release from the Bazelon Mental Health Law Center about MPS leaving our Special Needs Children Out of Sight and Out of Mind. Instead of allowing them to receive their special needs services they are placed in Alternative Schools, placed in Juvenile Court System and or Suspended (documented and undocumented).
Although I requested in email that this story be published a week ago by the Education Report Annie McCallum it was published today (http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20110626/NEWS01/106260336/Group-calls-MPS-inadequate-some-special-education-students?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|Frontpage|s). I received
I can't believe that you two great reporters didn't see this information. Well please see the attached.

Karen,
Thanks for writing. Jill and I are aware of this information. I was contacted by the Bazelon Center a few weeks ago and have interviewed one of their staff attorneys about the matter. In fact, while the center is based in Washington, D.C., its representative on this particular complaint was in Montgomery last week to meet with MPS officials. I was able to sit down with him, as well as one the other attorneys in the case and representative from Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program.
The paper had planned to run a story about the issue last week, but unfortunately the MPS director of special education was out of town and I am also working to try and speak with the parents of the students involved in the case. We hope to have a story in the paper soon once I can secure these last few interviews.
Please do not assume because you do not see something in the paper we are unaware. At the Advertiser, we all work to gather the most complete information so we can deliver comprehensive in-depth stories to our readers. This particular situation is quite complex and I'm making sure I have each perspective and each detail before going to print.
Thanks so much for your interest. Have a great weekend!

MY RESPONSE:

Good to know Annie however I will post and give notice on talk radio regarding the press release. Information as important as this needs full attention to those parents who have children in special needs programs and not being made aware. In addition to interview the parents and or students probably will breach their confidentiality and while you wait until the Director of MPS Special Ed returns from out of town why not make a statement to this effect or say this story will continue for a response when he or she returns? I'm just saying.
