Inside the March 13 Little Falls School Board Meeting

At 5:00 pm Monday afternoon, the School Board for Little Falls Public Schools met. The opening part of the meeting was dedicated to comments from the public. The second person to speak during this part of the meeting was Cassie Fredregill. I first wrote about Cassie Fredregill in this article. Since writing that article, I've learned that Cassie ran for the school board in 2022.

As I wrote in the article, Cassie was startled when her daughter came home from school in November, of 2022. Cassie's daughter told her that the school was planning on teaching 10-year-olds about sexting. Not knowing what the class was about, Cassie emailed the teacher to gather information about the class. After that initial email inquiry from Cassie, the teacher told Cassie that she wouldn't be teaching the class and that she should contact the school's social worker because that's who would be teaching the class.

Since the school social worker hasn't responded, it isn't known with certainty whether the class is about teaching kids how to not be victims of sexting or whether it's about teaching them about sexting. Since the class is being taught by the school social worker, not law enforcement, it's likely it's about sexting technique.

About 5:25 into this video, Cassie delivers her speech, followed by some questions from a school board member:

Here is the text of Cassie's speech before the board:

What's known with certainty is that the school issued what amounts to a cease-and-desist letter. Further, we know that Cassie received a notice for her daughter's parent-teacher conference with a note attached. The note said that Cassie wasn't allowed to attend her daughter's parent-teacher conference. Only Cassie's husband could attend.

Some questions need answering that haven't been answered:

  • Why hasn't the school answered Cassie's well-intentioned questions?
  • Why did Cassie get served with a cease-and-desist letter for inquiring about this class?
  • Why doesn't the school have any curricula for this class?
  • Why didn't the superintendent address why he accused Cassie of questioning the teacher's integrity when he met her? An adult would've sought a reset to the situation, not an escalation to the situation.
Cassie's questions were legitimate. She had a responsibility to ask those questions. The school's answers weren't satisfactory.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
