Radicalism Prompts School Board Write-In Campaign — The revelation of hidden hate by those who made the ballot has compelled a bi-partisan write-in campaign for the Haverford Township School Board.
The write-in ticket is Keith Heinerichs, Tom Thornton, Steve Young and Susan Mingey.
The group says they had been inclined to leave school elections alone until they were shocked — and relatively recently — at the policies being imposed by the board most of which had nothing to do with developing skills in reasoning and discipline much less reading, math and science.
The group is campaigning on protecting student and teachers while keeping all partisan politics out of school decisions.
Parents can now opt their children out of activities that basically groom them for sex acts with adults or promote mutilation that forever renders them unable to create children of their own.
It is expected that the radicals on the ballot will find ways of sabotaging the will of the parents and making these opt-outs difficult.

Pennsy Teachers Celebrate Assassination Says Pressler — Support teachers signs are popping up in Springfield, Haverford and elsewhere in Delco, Pa. we presume.
What’s not to love about those “dedicated, caring, professionals” as they like to label themselves?
Scott Pressler posted on X an hour ago that his group has a Pennsylvania spy who is feeding us information on numerous teachers that posted celebrations after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
American public schools are corrupt dens of indoctrination run by the corrupt, lazy and often sexually twisted.
And those running things make sure that those they hire are in their mold.
Parents send their kids off expecting them to become numerate and literate and able to think for themselves.
Instead, the children forced into conformity, and if literacy and numeracy occur it’s merely the luck of the draw.
It is time to rip down the entire public school edifice and rebuild it.
America has the most expensive schools which unfortunately happen to be among the worst in the developed world.
Tennessee Bills Restricting Illegals In Schools Advance
By Joe Guzzardi
In Tennessee, controversial House Bill 793 and SB 836 that allow Tennessee school districts to deny enrollment to illegal alien students have taken another step toward becoming law. The bills would give permission to Tennessee schools to verify that, before enrolling them, children are citizens or have legal immigrant or visa status. Schools could then deny enrollment to the children who cannot prove their status or charge them tuition. The two versions differ in one key respect: the House bill makes it optional to check student immigration status. In the Senate version, immigration status checks are mandatory in Tennessee’s more than 1700 public schools and all public charter schools. The bills’ sponsors argued that the legislation is needed to both quantify the number of illegal alien students attending Tennessee schools and to protect the state’s limited financial resources. Opponents protested that the bill violates constitutional protections, particularly the 1982 U.S. Supreme Court ruling Plyler v. Doe, which guarantees access to public education regardless of immigration status.
On both sides of the aisle, passions ran high. House Democratic Caucus Chair John Ray Clemmons slammed the bill, and repeated clichés like, “Our country has a broken immigration system” and that the bill is about “punishing innocent children.” During the committee hearing, from the GOP side, Rep. Monty Fritts said, “We’re not talking about immigrants, we’re talking about illegals. There’s a distinct difference. There is no greater act of rebellion in these U.S. than illegally coming across that border.” The National Immigration Law Center issued a statement after the Senate vote that called the action a “shameful attempt to take away Tennessee children’s freedom.” The immigration advocacy firm is, it said, “prepared to defend the right to education for all alongside our partners in court.”
In June 2024, the Federation of American Immigration Reform wrote that under Plyler v. Doe, local schools are obligated to provide illegal alien children with a taxpayer-funded K-12 education. The cost is staggering. The nation’s price tag for educating illegal aliens’ children in 2022 was $70.8 billion. The data preceded the historic illegal immigrant surge that began in 2021 when President Joe Biden took office. Using Florida Rep. Aaron Bean’s conservative estimate of 500,000 new illegal aliens in U.S. public schools, the recent influx has added at least $9.7 billion in additional taxpayer costs. Bean chairs the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education, and summed up Plyler v. Doe’s effect on the nation’s classrooms in two words: “Wreaking havoc.”
Parents’ frustration with the ever-expanding illegal aliens’ enrollment is understandable. Every teacher minute spent with a non-English speaking student, some of whom come in and out of the classroom depending on their parents’ work obligations, is one less moment spent with a citizen pupil. The Nation’s Report Card which showed sharp declines in reading and math scores for 9-year-olds, is attributable to, at least in part, the steady arrival of non-English speaking pupils.
Plyler v. Doe must take into consideration the nation’s current population levels. In 1982, the year SCOTUS handed down its ruling, the U.S. had 232 million residents including roughly sixteen million legal and illegal immigrants. A Center for Immigration Studies analysis showed that government’s January 2025 Current Population Survey (CPS) fixed the foreign-born or legal and illegal immigrant population at 53.3 million and 15.8 percent of the total U.S. population— both new record highs. The January CPS is the first government survey adjusted to better reflect the recent surge in illegal immigrants. Unlike border statistics, the CPS measures the number of immigrants in the country, which is what determines their impact on society including education. Without adjusting for those the survey missed, the estimated illegal immigrant population accounted for 5.4 million or two-thirds of the 8.3 million increase in the foreign-born population since January 2021. CIS’ best estimate is that 11.5 to 12.5 million legal and illegal immigrants settled in the country in the last four years.
Given the dramatic illegal immigration surge over the last 40 years, states’ request to reevaluate Plyler v. Doe is a modest proposal. States spend billions to educate Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students while citizen children get less of their teachers’ attention. In the meantime, while Plyler v. Doe review plays out in the courts, the federal government, which writes and approves immigration law, should pay for states’ illegal aliens’ education, an unfunded mandate. The bills’ sponsors have said they hope the legislation could serve as a test case for the Supreme Court to revisit its 1982 Plyler v. Doe decision. “If Plyler v. Doe were to stand, the federal government might finally step up and send the states the money to fund these students,” said a GOP representative. On LEP programs, Congress contributes barely 1 percent of the cost despite the federal requirement for states to educate the children of illegal aliens. Congress’ indifference to citizen children’s diluted education while it funds an ongoing illegal immigrant surge into already overcrowded classrooms represents yet another America last policy.

Anyway, Mark Wahlberg is producing a four-part documentary on Lower Merion’s spy program for Amazon. It will be called Spy High and scheduled to begin streaming in April.
Lower Merion School District watching over a sleeping Blake Robbins
The Haverford Township School District is stridently secular but we still want to wish them something in the spirit of the season so with help from former Vice Principal Steven Quinn we — especially Sharon– say Happy Holidays Haverford.
Secret Northley Child Porn Arrest? — We’re getting reports — including from a mom — that a long-time Northley Middle School counselor is facing 34 counts of possessing child pornography.
She said parents are posting concerns on social media — which we understand are being taken down, at least on Facebook — and Penn Delco has not responded to questions from them which have been being asked since at least Halloween.
She said a generic statement from the district has been released saying the individual is on leave.
By the way, we could not find any reports of the charges in the Daily Times or any Philadelphia-area media as of 2:23 p.m., today, Nov. 16.
A search on the Delaware County Daily Times webstie as of 2:23 p.m., Nov. 16.
UPDATE: The Penn Delco School District released a new statement a few hours ago basically saying it’s not our fault. Remember, this is the district that passed a policy that cuts parents from conversations regarding sexual confusion their child might be having.
IEPs And Perverted Principals Topic Of Educational Town Hall — A town hall, last night, Sept. 23, sponsored by congressional candidate Alfe Goodwin addressed Pennsylvania’s crisis in education. It was held at the Media VFW and drew an active and diverse crowd.
By diverse, we don’t just mean Black and White — although it applies. We mean Republican and Democrat, and city and suburb.
The room was full despite attempts by social media censors to hide the event’s promotion.
Alfe is seeking to unseat the wife of the CEO of high-powered law firm Ballard Spahr to represent Pennsylvania’s 5th District. The district is all of Delaware County along with parts of Montgomery, Philadelphia and Chester counties.
Speakers were NaDerah Griffin, and Sharon Devaney. Ms. Griffin is a former Philadelphia School District educator, who is a mental health specialist, and Sharon M. Devaney is a single mom who described her tribulations with the Haverford School District.
Moderator was Joy Schwartz, a retired Penn Wood teacher who still occasionally substitutes.
Many in the audience also shared their experiences with public education along with other institutions in obvious decline such as the military.
Ms. Griffin noted how the misuse of individual education plans (IEPs) has resulted in numerous children being placed on life-long paths of despair.
“When you pull children out they feel they are dumb,” she says.
She said IEPs can be beneficial. The shortage of teachers, however, in the city schools along with the lack of training for them results in children being diagnosed improperly.
She said situations such as trauma and poverty are incorrectly diagnosed as intellectual problems.
Ms. Devaney described the battles she fought with her district to keep her children from being drugged and bullied.
She said Haverford sought to put her son on an IEP but she fought them and won.
She noted the administration’s indifference, if not actual defense, of high ranking officials who should have been dismissed for extremely inappropriate behavior.
Shelia Armstrong, a North Philadelphia parent-teacher advocate, spoke from the audience. She described how she won a lawsuit against the educational establishment’s failure to uphold the General Assembly’s constitutional obligation to provide a “thorough and efficient” system of public education.
Ms. Armstrong also noted that the teachers unions are blocking needed reform. She cited their refusal to allow cameras in the classroom.
“I’m just so tired of the union right now,” she said. “. . .It’s promoting everything else but education.”
She expressed strong support for school choice.
She said progress is being made, however. Ms. Armstrong pointed out that if a child attacks a school employee, the employee can sue the parents.
Alfe Goodwin Townhall Highlights Pennsylvania Educational Crisis — Alfe Goodwin, the sane, working class candidate, for Pennsylvania’s 5th Congressional District has a Town Hall, 6 p.m., Sept. 23 at the Media VFW, 11 Hilltop Road, Media, Pa. 19063.
Speakers are Sharon Devaney, a mom and children’s book author, who will describe her personal experiences with public schools in Delaware County; NeDerah Griffin, a former Philadelphia Public School Educator and mental health specialist; and Joy Schwartz, a retired public school teacher in Delaware County.
Alfe is the candidate who is a veteran and retired Philadelphia cop. She’s the one who is not married to the guy who heads one of the most powerful law firms in the country and makes unsanitary hoagies during political pandering.
You can find out more about her at www.alfeforuscongress.com or on Instagram and Facebook @alfegoodwin.
Ms. Devaney spoke at the Sept. 4 Delaware County Council meeting and gave a passionate and timely warning about the dangers of unassimilated immigrants, illegal or otherwise, and the tragic suffering she experienced at their hands.
See the video below.
The misery being inflicted on America is entirely the fault of the globalist — like Alfe’s opponent — who are now running things.
Boys Being Poisoned By Weak Parents — TruthsSeekerJones posted on X, Sept. 8, what might be the best rebuttal to those defending letting males call themselves females and exploiting the necessary privileges — like, well, private bathrooms — given to females.
He referenced a soccer game involving 12-year-olds between Marple and Haverford in Delaware County, Pa. and said:
There are two boys on the Haverford girls team. Number 5 is one of them and he is their best player. This is literally insane. 2 girls didn’t get to play soccer this season because of lunatic parents, that, instead of getting their son the help and care he needs, decided to just affirm and acknowledge anything a child says.
Parents and authorities who deny reality and refuse to say no to delusion are destroying boys and girls.
Despite what our cultural leaders shreik at us, strong, decent men are necessary for a nation’s surival and boys don’t automatically grow into them.
Wallingford Swarthmore Superintendent Is Gone, Gone, Gone
By Bob Small
One of the five demands at a contentious Wallingford Swarthmore School Board meeting was an independent review of Superintendent Wagner Marseille.
It was announced, Aug. 16, “the Board and Marseille . . . have mutually agreed to pursue an amicable conclusion to Dr. Marseille’s service as district superintendent”.
A special meeting was held Aug. 22 to vote on the terms of the separation agreement.
Jim Scanlon, a former West Chester superintendent, is expected to be voted in as the interim superintendent.
As noted in previous articles, parents accused Dr. Marseille of alienating staff members with his high- handed approach, and questionable spending decisions, such as hiring more administrators in lieu of staff, teachers, and repairs on the physical plant.
In the article in the Glenside local, we had some of Dr. Marseille’s backstory. He was a former track star who represented Haiti in the 1996 Olympics. He is a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson where he was a Division 1 All-American.
He served at Cheltenham schools from 2015 to 2021. He received the annual President’s Award from the Cheltenham area NAACP Branch in 2012. He is enshrined in Princeton High School’s Athletic Hall of Fame.
Possibly a more diverse school board, including both academics and business people (with a history of hiring employees) could learn from each other and might provide a better model than the all-academic current board.
Just sayin.’
Today, the Swarthmorean newspaper returned from vacation (probably down the shore) and had an article which mentioned that, in his first seven months “he paid more than $70,000 for consultants and audits”. It also noted the recent resignations of Strath Haven Principal Greg Hilden; Wallingford Elementary School Principal Gabe Savage; and Assistant Superintendent James Conley.”
