The Right Rev Rowland

So here in Clark County, Nevada, our school district has decided that their teachers can completely deny the facts of history in class and keep your teaching job.

Lori Sublette, a Phys Ed teacher at the Northwest Career and Technical Academy, told students in her class that the holocaust in Nazi Germany was exaggerated and that the pictures were fabrications, actually taken in Russia. Why a gym teacher was talking about world history we don’t know. Why a credentialed teacher can deny established historical fact and keep their job? We don’t know.

Now Sublette has been transferred from a premiere tech academy to Johnston Middle School in North Las Vegas. She was sent home with pay until her transfer, and now she continues her career with CCSD. I don’t think this should be allowd to stand. She has the freedom to hold any opinion she wants, but as a teacher, she has a responsibility to students and parents to stay within her expertise in class.

the Clark County School District cannot be let off the hook with a sweep and dump maneuver by simply transferring her around. I contacted CCSD to complain a week ago, and have received no response as yet.

Here is the text of my complaint to CCSD:

“My son attends SWCT, we have been looking at possibly moving and transferring him to NWCT. Your tepid response to Ms. Sublette’s egregious actions is cause for great concern. Simply transferring her to another school is not a firm enough response. Her assertions denying the truth of the Holocaust in Nazi Germany border on lunacy. It is not an area of opinion, it is a historical fact. If you do not end her tenure with the CCSD, then you will force parents and community leaders to bring an even greater national spotlight onto your failure to manage your employees and protect our children who are in your care. Please do the right thing for our children, and let Ms. Sublette go. A transfer only implies your agreement with her positions. I am hoping you can bring yourselves to make the right decision.”

Mr. Bell has done it. The Military has used it. Most Americans have never heard of it, and we need it now more than ever.

J.C. Bell, owner of Bell Bio-Energy of Tifton, GA, has developed a process of taking organic material and turning it into fuel. Anything that grows out of the ground, any kind of plant life, can be turned into oil-based fuel with the help of specially engineered bacteria.

Ft. Stewart, GA, already has a working plant that Bell engineered and paid for on their base. The Navy intends to do the research necessary to make this bio-fuel a large portion of their jet-fuel supply. There is a test flight scheduled for Earth Day, 2010, on April 22nd. But aside from the military, the government has been anything but prudent about this bio-fuel breakthrough.

As reported by World Net Daily:

“Both Cain and Bell have been frustrated, though, by the creeping pace at which federal officials have heretofore been moving on the technology.

‘We have been slowed down because of not being able to get through the bureaucracy of the government not living up to the commitments they made,’ said Cain.

For instance, the initial contract Bell had with the Department of Defense for demonstration plants expires tomorrow.

‘I don’t know what we’re going to do,’ Bell admitted.”

After already spending $6 million of his own money, Bell has been promised $7 million in stimulus funds from last year’s allocations. Almost a year ago, and still no funding that has been promised. I’m sure the healthcare takeover will go much more smoothly, though.

This miracle of scientific discovery is exactly the kind of “shovel-ready” project that the government should be streamlining in light of our dependence on foreign oil. But you may have never heard of it, and your representative in Congress probably hasn’t either.

If our whole nation were to get behind this American discovery, I wonder what we could do with the price of gasoline?

What could we do with the economy?

I’m just sayin…..

UPDATE #2:  Meehan was hired by the DNSC to help Coakley’s struggling campaign with ‘messaging.’ So, ‘technically’ he IS a campaign operative and he apparently attacked a reporter. Oh, and BTW, he is an Obama appointee. Nice.

Regardless of the outcome of the Massachusetts special election for US Senate, this has got to be the defining moment ofthe year 2010:

More of this type of thinking has got to break into the conscience of the American public. Government does not give us our rights, God does. Government, party, and family dynasties do not hold claim to certain positions of power, it belongs always to the people being represented.

If we don’t take that power back from the people in government at ALL levels this year, we are going to lose what has made America great for 200 years. We will be eclipsed by the Chinas, Russias, and Indias of the world.

I’m just sayin……

UPDATE:

Leaving the state of Massachusetts to raise money at the feet of the Washington, DC power elite, MA Attorney General and Democratic candidate for ‘Kennedy’s’ seat in the US Senate witnessed an assault on a reporter for the Weekly Standard.

The dude doing the pushing? One Mr. Meehan, who it turns out, is a Democratic ’strategist’ and a huge Coakley supporter! The guy on the ground? Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack, who was asking Coakley questions she wanted to avoid. Her statement? “I didn’t see what happened.” Look at the photo, does it look like she wasn’t aware?

Here is the video Neal Cavuto played on FOXNews about events immediately after the body-check took place:
