This episode is the final in a series on the reaction of board members towards a suggestion to confidentially share resumes of applicants so they can cast an informed vote. 

• We will cover a few more manipulation tactics. Training your ear requires practice! 

• Then we discuss our review of EN policies regarding board responsibilities in the hiring process, as well what a top AI model said when specifically fed by & grounded with the EN policy manual.

• For FUN we will play a game of “Good or Bad”! How will YOU score?

• Finally, we will wrap up the series with a summary and call to action. The episode closes with some good quotes from Joel Lash.

Parents, grandparents and citizens; there is little else that is more important than guarding our children from harmful people and destructive ideologies. Many teachers are taught and certified by very woke universities. Our board has passed woke-friendly policies, supported woke-friendly books, and recently they approved DEI containing curriculum. And it turns out, we have indeed made some poor hiring and management decisions after all. 

This episode is the second in a series on the reaction of board members towards a suggestion to confidentially share resumes of applicants with board members so they can cast an informed vote.  

Left-voting legacy board member Jen Blackman “lashes out” with manipulative reframing rather than having a professional discussion of the merits of the proposal. When that didn’t work then she told us all about how she influences votes based on scoping out applicant social media posts - which in reality can only be based upon her own personal values and preferences since she lacks any professional artifacts. Given her body language, reactions and faces she makes toward Christians and conservatives at board meetings, this begs the question; what are her personal biases?

 Manipulation tactics have been systematically used by our board and superintendent to influence public opinion for years as a means to escape taking appropriate decisive leadership decisions. This episode contains some good examples which can be used to train your ear to listen for it.

In this episode we recap the simple ask by a conservative board member to be more informed before he votes on professional staff. That is followed up with several significant examples showing why hiring outcomes prove the need to improve hiring checks and balances. Finally, we start to explore the shallow arguments and manipulations by the legacy left-voting board members.

In this episode we will wrap up the policy feedback with the areas that are still materially important, but they carry less weight if the other topics are not reasonably resolved first.  But they are still very important!

Last time we walked through a policy overview, and a summary of gaps.  Then we invested time into one of the central weaknesses of the policy: the criteria “as a whole”.  

Up next then is a deeper dive into some other policy elements, and suggestions on how to improve them.  Let’s see how far we get.

Once through the summary, we will discuss the foundational criteria of the proposed policy.

From the point of view of some, the policy vote made it harder to protect girl’s sports.  Yet others, who I truly believe also desire to fight for the safety of girls, expressed support for the policy.  This left many confused.  Which is the right perspective?  Is it right to support the policy?  Let’s explore it.

In this episode…

• We will discuss the context of statements in the policy that refer to compliance with state law.
• Next we will go through the law, HEA 1041, and then the policy itself
• Then sum it all up for you to consider

This episode is to provide some insights into that policy proposal.  It explains how I see it.   If you see it differently, and you feel the currency policy draft doesn’t leave the door open for nefarious behavior, please provide your feedback on our Facebook Group - Engage East Noble (public).

The public became aware that the East Noble school board was considering a quote-unquote “transgender policy” at a board working session earlier this year.  This was fast off the heels of voting to uphold a secret committee’s decision that found content about masturbation, racism, gay slurs, and religious bigotry “acceptable for use” in the curriculum through Part Time Indian.   

This episode’s goals are to explain the timeline, the sources of confusion, the lack of transparency, and debate why the board feels they need a “transgender policy” at all.  You should consider this very relevant because it looks like the policy will be voted on in just a few days at the August 23rd board meeting.
