REF. WALL STREET JOURNAL, BY ALEXANDRO LAZO, MON. MARCH 1, 2021
"SAN FRANCISCO BOARD UNDER FIRE"
Dear Patrick,
    The following letter to the Long Beach Press Telegram was not published. (Sat. Feb. 14, 1987)
Dear Editor,
   I believe Governor Deukmajian made a wise decision in seeking an alternative to collective bargaining law for public school teachers.
 
    Directly, and indirectly, it focuses in on teacher dissidents in the public school system. Who are they? and "What do they want?' First and foremost they are professional teachers. In my opinion their belief  system is mostly that of the NEA and CTA before their leadership opted for unionism and persuaded the legislature to pass S.B. 160, the teacher collective bargaining law of 1976. 
 
    This law was signed by Governor Jerry Brown. A similar law was vetoed by Governor Reagan in his administration. Many teacher dissidents are only nominal members of the union, and several like myself, are members of the Professional Educators Group of California. (A non-union teacher organization).
 
    They do not believe in the principles of adversary relationship, strikes and coercion that forces another teacher to join an organization that they do not believe in. The civil rights and academic freedom of the teacher dissidents are subdued. Most believe in the principles of cooperation, voluntarism, and the rights of the minority for some type of representation and input.
 
    The Meet and Confer process is the best vehicle to bring this about, and it can be strengthened and made to work effectively and fairly for all. The minority can become the majority. This is what the unions fear most. A free public and tax supported school system is complemented by free and independent-minded school teachers. You can't love one without the other. 
 
    This kind of freedom and openness will encourage more creativity in teaching, pluralism of ideas within the profession, and insure the integrity of the profession. A greater input of all those in education and the public would bring bring about a consensus that the Meet and Confer process is the common sense solution to teacher management relations.
Sincerely yours, 
George H. Kubeck
P.S.
A. Excerpts from other letters and thoughts:
1. Vote NO ON PROPOSITION T: (Oct.-Nov. 1986)
    Why do we have to politicize everything? How do you feel about politicizing the Public Education of children? Is there nothing sacred anymore? That's what a No vote on proposition T is all about. Stop the game of politics in the education of our children. Just because Senate Bill 160 politicized the teaching profession, it doesn't mean we politicize school board elections....
    (Proposition T - to redo school board boundaries. It makes it easier for unions to get in pro-agency fees school board members.)
 
2. S.B. 160 is albatross around Public Education's neck. The schools belong to the public. Teachers are public employees first and foremost. They ought not to be forced by the School Board to join and pay an organization that they do not believe in. "You pay for you political and social agenda (and I will pay for mine) but don't force me to pay for yours, and be employed as a teacher in this district.)" (That's what agency fees is all about.) The bottom line is the integrity of the teaching profession.
(A fundamental principle of conservatism is a non-union teaching profession.) Today, the yearly union teacher fees in the public schools is about a thousand dollars or more. Almost all goes to the leftists.

Dear President Biden,
     What you are doing to the immigrants is driving me up the wall. I can't stand it anymore. It's like telling me that 2 + 2 make 5. Deliberately breaking up children from their families is not American. Your thinking on Open Borders is not normal. Unless you deliberately seek to transform our country into...   
    Is there an evil method in your thoughts? And those thoughts are not American? We don't want a Karl Marx or CINOP interpretation of American history.                                                                            
    Every year, our country legally allows about a million new citizens. On April 2, 1962, I became a U.S. citizen. Since 1962,  you are dealing with 59 million legalized U.S. citizens and we will never accept the transformation of this country other than what it is today, improvement via our Founding Principles.
     We believe strongly in our Founding Fathers and their philosophy of government. Founding Father immigrant Alexander Hamilton is one of our role models. He never owned any slaves. He founded our free enterprise system. 
    Today, we have leaders in Hamilton's footsteps. I can think of Governor Christie Noem and Governor Ron DeSantes of Florida. I hope you will have similar leaders in the Democratic Party.
 
Preface: 3:
    For political purposes, the CINOP is promoting the Marxist agenda in America. This will not stand with the Catholic population and all religions in the United States of America.
 
A. The DEMOCRATIC CINOP  (Catholic-in-name-only politician) has become the most dangerous enemy of traditional America and the beliefs of our Founding Fathers
B. "In the House, there are 77 Democrats and 57 Republicans; in the Senate, there are 14 Catholic Democrats and 11 Catholic Republicans." (ANGELUS, January 15, 2021). Several leaders of the CINOP include, Nancy Pelosi, Senators Durbin and Leahy, John Kerry, Governors Cuomo and Newsom, etc.
 
C. Since May 14, 2007, almost 14 years, I have been fighting the Catholic-In-Name- Politician with a blog, titled, CINOPS BE GONE, Dedicated to the exposure and removal of Catholic-in-name-only politicians. St. Thomas More is our model and patron. There are more than 2,200 letters on the blog.
D. Thanks to the News Media, the Democratic CINOP gets elected. Why? They are for abortion on demand and partial-birth abortions. How can they claim to be for social justice when in the Catholic Catechism abortion is considered an absolute evil? Check out other absolute evils that the CINOP votes for in Congress.
 
E. The bottom line is that the Democratic CINOP have adjusted themselves to the Death Culture that St. John Paul warned us about in the Gospel of Life. They may want to argue with St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Dominic on "What is a Catholic?"  In plain English, they are Roman Catholic Frauds.
 
Respectfully Yours,

 # 16 - A SERIOUS REPORT ON BLESSED CASTELLO, O.P.

 
THE LIFE OF BLESSED MARGARET CASTELLO0, O.P.
By Father William R. Bonneville O.P. Tan Books, Carolina, 2016, Chapter 7, p. 30-31
 
    In September, the victorious Parisio returned home. He disbanded his army and then made a full report of the war to the podesta and State Council.... In the days that followed, Emilia undertook to bring her husband up to date on local happenings. In doing so, she came in due time to the report of the pilgrims that miraculous cures were taking place at Castello.  Parisio burst out laughing.
 
    "Don't tell me, my dear wife, that you believe in miracles!" "Well after all," she replied defensively, "everybody believed St. Francis possessed a remarkable healing power." "True, while he was alive." Some few men seemed to have such power. But since this Giacomo is dead, it would mean that miracles are taking place. Miracles presupposes that God is deeply interested in us - which, you know as well as I do, is sheer nonsense."
 
    Nonsense or not, fresh reports continued to reach Mewcatello with almost every traveler. Some of these men were well educated; occasionally there was a professor, or a lawyer, or even a physician. When men of their standing insisted that cures were being effected at the tomb of Fra Giacomo, Parisio began to waver a little in his incredulity. His wife was quick to take advantage of his change of attitude.
 
    "Parisio, why don't we take Margaret to Citta di Castello? Who knows? Perhaps she will be cured both of her blindness and her deformities! At least there is a possibility." "It is a rough hard journey over the mountains," replied her husband hesitantly. "I can stand it. If we leave early in the morning, let us say about an hour of Prime, we should reach there there certainly by sunset." 
 
    Emelia awaited anxiously for his reply. She never seen Citta di Castello, and for that reason was eager to go there.And of course one could never tell, there was a possibility of Margaret being cured.
But Parisio still hesitated.... After a few moments' reflection he added briskly: "Very well, then, we'll go. Today is the 20th of September, and you be ready by the 24th? Good! We will depart at early dawn, before the citizens are astir."
 
    Now tat she had gained her end, Lady Emelia became somewhat uneasy. "Of course, Parisio, we have no assurance that Margaret will be cured. But I have heard the Franciscan friar, who preaches in the piazza, declare all one needs is faith. Margaret certainly has plenty of that!"
 
    "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, my dear," "replied her husband, who was now in sudden good humor. "Remember: Thursday morning at early dawn. Emilia, I think, that this pilgrimage will definitely solve our problem. The Captain left the room.
 
    Lady Emilia shivered as if a sudden chill had pervaded the apartment. She did not understand, nor dared she ask, the meaning of his remark, and her recollection of his many acts of ruthlessness did nothing to assure. That night before the pilgrimage, Lady Emilia did not sleep too well... not withstanding, at first cockcrow she awoke and hastened to arouse her husband and Margaret....
 
George H. Kubeck
 
    "As an unwanted deformed child would she not be 'the saint' for our time ... a special patron of the unborn, the handicapped, the disabled, the social outcasts ... the patron of the UNWANTED? Will you not join in a crusade for her canonization? She will never fail for those who invoke her."

Dear Patrick Wolf,
President and Fellow School Board Members   (Westminster, Calif.)
Sept. 15, 1986
    The bottom line is the integrity of the teaching profession and the survival of the public school system. If you don't do anything about it who will?
    What am I talking about? It is the Senate B ill 160, the teacher collective bargaining law of 1976. Reasonable men and women can come to some kind of agreement when they evaluate a law that has been in existence for about 10 years.
 
    The law of 1976 has legalized within the public school system, I repeat legalized 1.) adversary relationship, 2.) exclusivity, 3.) Agency fees, 4.) Coercion, indirect and direct to join the exclusive teacher organization. By legalizing these four negative principles, the law is changing the nature of the teaching profession and politicizing it.
 
    From 1964 to 1969 [1962-1966-correction), I was a voluntary member of the NEA and CTA. For over a hundred years these two professional teacher organizations fought these four negative principles, and then they changed to become a union. I did not renew my membership because I was not going to accept adversary relationship, exclusivity, agency fees, and coercion as part of my teaching profession.
 
    Is it possible that industrial type unionism was never intended for public employees, - least of all teachers? THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT UNIONISM IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR IS NOT A SACRED COW AND NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED AND DISCUSSED OPENLY.
 
    Possibly if we legalize the principles of cooperation and freedom for choose the organization of their choice, and have proportional representation with payroll deduction of dues, we will add a breadth of fresh air to the negotiating table between teachers and management.  The principle of adversary relationship does not enhance the teaching profession and the public school system.
 
    I hate a raw deal. I've spent hundred of hours away from my family needs fighting S.B. 160, and I'll spend hundreds of hours in the future to change and repeal this unfair and bad law.  THE BOTTOM    LI NE IS THAT ANYTHING THAT LENDS ITSELF TO POLITICIZING PUBLIC EDUCATION IS SUSPECT, AND MORE THAN LIKELY NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF EDUCATING CHILDREN. S.B. 160 IS AN ALBATROSS AROUND PUBLIC EDUCATION'S NECK.
 
    The schools belong to the public. Teachers are public employees first and foremost. They ought not to be forced by the school board to join and pay an organization that they do not believe in.
 
    THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE INTEGRITY OF THE TEACHING PROFESSION. IF YOU, YOU AND YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, WHO WILL?
 
George H. Kubeck
 
P.S. Patrick, There at two or more letters, I will publish.
Hope someone will be able to email these letters to many school boards on what needs to done.
I have reached the decade of the nineties.

"SAN FRANCISCO SCHOOL BOARD UNDER FIRE"
Dear Patrick Wolff,
    The following letter was mailed to Dear Editor, The Good News, May 1, 1976, Law Day, U.S.A.
 
    S.B. 160 the teacher collective bargaining law is being challenged in the courts on 21 constitutional violations. It has been called the new frontier, the full employment act for lawyers, and the union ball and chain law for for independent-minded professional educators.
 
    The Rodda Act (S.B. 160) repeals the Winton Act as of July 1. 1976. The new law calls for the selection of an exclusive bargaining agent. Under the Winton Act all qualified organizations have a voice in matters relating to working conditions.
 
    Individuals cannot represent themselves directly to the employer under the Rodda Act after an exclusive agent has been recognized. (Art. 4, Sec. 3543). Under the Winton Act teachers retain the right to represent themselves individually.
 
    The Rodda Act includes a clause for "organizational security". Teachers can be required to pay agency shop fees as a condition of continued employment. The Winton Act allowed teachers to choose to join or not to join and did not legalize assessments or penalties.
 
    Final responsibilities for decisions rests with the elected representatives of the people, the Board of Education, under the Winton Act. Under the Rodda Act an arbitration award made as result of impasse procedures if final and binding on the Board of Education. There is also a possibility that tenure can be negotiated  away. Join the union and that could be your tenure. 
 
    Concerning teacher strikes, the law is a maize. One interpretation from School Services of California reads as follows: "... but neither court nor EERB (Educational Employment Relations Board) may hold invalid a negotiated agreement as a result of a strike." (Sec. 3549)
 
    The Rodda Act seems appropriate for a totalitarian state and not for a democracy and republican form of government. What right do the Democratic and Republican Legislators have to force all teachers into the same mold? What right do the legislators have to force a law upon professional teachers which will literally CHANGE the profession to a union teacher job?
 
    Governor Brown must realize that industrial collective bargaining principles were never intended or applicable to public employees least of all teachers. What a cruel hoax to play upon the public, a collective bargaining chess game between teacher unions and administration with the children's education used as pawns?
 
    The teachers and the public need to be informed. S.B. 169 must be repealed. Let the irresponsible legislators be enlightened or replace by the voters this November, 1976.
 
Respectfully yours,
George H. Kubeck, Member Professional Educators Group.
 
P.S. Dan, my yearly dues for 5 years with the N.E.A., C.T.A. and W.T.A. seemed to have been reasonable. Considering that my first year salary was $ 5,280. The union teacher membership fees today are more than one thousand dollars each year. Governor Jerry Brown signed the Rodda Act knowing it would be a source of revenue for his party and destroyed the integrity of the independent-minded  public school teacher.

CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS - PATRICK WOLFF (# 1 OF 3 )

 "CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS" - PATRICK WOLFF (#1 OF 3)

JUSTICE IS TRUTH IN ACTION - HTTP://CINOPSBEGONE.BLOGSPOT.COM - SUN. MARCH 7, 2021
REF. WALL STREET JOURNAL ARTICLE BY ALEXANDRO LAZO MON. MARCH 1, 2021
"SAN FRANCISCO SCHOOL BOARD UNDER FIRE"
Dear Patrick Wolff,
    We don't have the kind of teachers, adult Americans had, when they were growing up. Teach our kids reading, writing and arithmetic and keep politics out off our youngsters' education.  Get them proficient in the basics. As a retired public school teacher, maybe my experience will help you.
   
  In the name of common sense, reason and logic, let's review Senate Bill 160, the Rodda Act which was passed in the California legislature in 1975. I remember that bill very well. It changed the nature of the once great and noble teaching profession. It unionized and politicized this honorable profession.
     I fought the process relentlessly before and after 1975. Why?
 
    For five years, (1962-1966) I was a voluntary member of the N.E.A., C.T.A. and W.T.A. (Westminster Teachers Association) They were a Professional Teacher Organization for over 100 years. Their literature said no to unionism. I was a proud member.
      Then all of sudden, N.E.A. and C.T.A. succumbed to Governor Jerry Brown's Rodda Act, and the competition from the New York Teacher unions,and the intoxicated slogan of teacher power, and the mid-set of Sol Alinsky. Overnight, the N.E.A. and C.T.A. became a union, and they left me.
 
    Our Governor Deukmejian saw the evil of unionizing the professional teacher. He was unable to fix the problem. Let's go back to an updated Winton Act and repeal S.B. 160 to bring about the full and complete integrity of the teaching profession.
 
    Unionism was never intended for public employees, least of all teachers. (President Franklin Roosevelt would turn over in his grave.) We will talk later about what it legalized and here's one thought. "You pay for your social and political agenda and I will pay for mine, but don't force me as a teacher to pay for yours" In Westminster Schools, we fought this destructive process which changed the nature of the teaching profession.
 
      As president of the Westminster Professional Educators Group, I spoke to the School Board on 7-6-78 as follows:                                                                                                                                             
 
    "We are especially proud that for the past eight years, our district is one of the few in the State of California where teachers have had a choice of membership, - professional, union, - and the FREEDOM not to belong to any organization at all. "
 
    "Our district is UNIQUE. In 95% to 97% of the 1043 school districts, teachers do not have that triple choice... We continue to have faith in the principles of cooperation, collegiality, freedom of choice, teacher professional growth, and uninterrupted quality education for our children...."
 
 " Ironically, two years ago this month on our 200th anniversary as a nation the principles of adversary relationship, exclusivity, even agency fees and coercion were legalized... We pledge a positive common sense approach, a sharing of ideas with fellow educators, parents and citizens based on the principle that there are at least two sides to problem solving and issues..."
 
    "We invite all here present including parents and citizens in the community to attend our monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of each month at Midway City Elementary School 3:30 to 4:30 P.M."
    
   "It is with pride that I introduce to you our board members for this coming years.
1st Vice-President - Jolene Hanley                                       Secretary - Bea Nickerson
2nd Vice-President - Rosie Davis                                          Treasurer - Dorothy Boydston"

CHRISTI NOEM AT CPAC IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA, SAT. FEB. 27, 2021

 CHRISTI NOEM AT CPAC IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA, SAT. FEB. 27, 2021

JUSTICE IS TRUTH IN ACTION, HTTP://CINOPSBEGONEBLOGSPOT.COM - MON. MARCH 1, 2021
 
COMMENTARY:
    I will always remember Saturday afternoon, Feb. 27, 2021. I listened to the Governor of South Dakota give her talk at CPAC Convention in Orlando, Florida. Her talk deeply impressed me. We do have an Alexander Hamilton type person alive today.
 
    I put my shoes on and rushed out of my room and told the lady Joan excitedly, " We do have a lady President in the future." "Christi Noem" -  Right then I  hurried to the exercise room. As I was doing my exercise I noticed that I had one white shoe on and a black shoe on the other foot. 
 
    Everything possible must be done to have her give the same talk in Fountain Valley, California. (Mile Square Park.) Governor Christi Noem needs to give her talk in the Blue States of America. It would be a real plug for conservatives, independents, libertarians and most regular registered Democratic voters. For them it would be an education in common sense and conservative principles in the governance of South Dakota.
 
    At the CPAC Convention, I recall Christi got about 2-4 % of the vote, Trump got 55%, and the Florida Governor got 20-24%.  Christie Noem has four years to have her outstanding Founding Father message sink in. Trump can have his four years pointing out President Biden's failures.
