Taxpayer-funded public schools have been pricing parents out of attaining Freedom of Information Act requests regarding what they’re doing to their kids while they’re in the government institution.
Fox News reported in 2022 and again on Saturday that parents around the country have been charged tens of thousands of dollars, with some fees stretching into the millions, in order to successfully conduct their FOIA requests.
“Fox News Digital spoke with parents around the county – such as in Michigan, Oregon, and Rhode Island — as well as with public records experts who said they believed schools were using exorbitant fees in order to price parents out of the information they are legally entitled to, such as those related to curriculum,” Fox News said in 2022.
While fees related to FOIA requests are not legally allowed to surpass an amount which covers the cost of employees gathering the information requested, schools are hyper-inflating these costs in order to dissuade parents from finding out what the government brainwashing facilities are actually doing to their kids, reported ZeroHedge on Sunday.
Regarding at least some of the activities schools have been up to in recent years, Infowars reported in 2021 that a student in Louisiana was Covid-vaccinated without parental consent while the Brownstone Institute reported on a similar case out of Vermont.
Back in the late 1990s Alex Jones covered how schools were teaching kids to decide who gets to live and who has to die, via a ‘game’.
Schools have long been coercing children into destructive lifestyles. Alex Jones discussed how schools were pushing suicidal ideation on students in 2009.
Fox News spoke with a parent from Frederick County Public Schools in Maryland who reported they were dissuaded from performing a FOIA request after learning it will cost them $5,000. On the other side of the country another example showed how schools nickel-and-dimed a FOIA request into the tens of thousands.
“In Oregon, the Oregon Department of Education slapped on $10 per email review in various requests. For example, to review 963 emails, the fee was $9,630; for 382 emails, the fee was $3,820; and 109 emails would cost $1,090, according to a complaint with the attorney general that was reviewed by Fox News Digital. The total fees subject to the complaint were ultimately reduced from nearly 15K to a few hundred bucks,” Fox News said in 2022.
That district also requested $1,525 for a single document to be downloaded and emailed. To add insult to injury, a rules coordinator from the district suggested that the request be ‘narrowed down’ to reduce cost.
“How could I narrow my request? Is this not a single document?… I do not understand what you mean by narrowing or how 1 document costs $1,525 to download and email to me. Or why 3 hours of time is needed by IT to again download 1 document and email it. Please explain,” the parent asked.
Schools are not just seeking huge sums of money for transparency, teaching kids to be gay, have their reproductive organs removed or kill themselves. Unannounced terror drills may be among the most frighting experiences in a child’s ‘educational’ experience.
A district in Rochester, Michigan reportedly charged fees as high as $18 million for a FOIA request. A parent told local media that the district is obviously hiding something. Another parent in that district said she got a public records fee of $172,951.67.
Schools are not just on the defense in regard to their activities, they reportedly run offense campaigns as well. According to Fox News, schools have been accused of running surveillance operations against hundreds of parents and using the covert intelligence they gathered to get parents fired from their jobs, which would, notably, help prevent them from paying for FOIA requests.
“One district was accused of spying and creating a list tracking over 200 parents; Rochester School District ultimately paid 190K in a settlement agreement with a parent in March who alleged her employer was contacted by someone in the district, causing her to lose her job. The parent had been advocating on social media in support of kids returning to in-person learning,” Fox News said.
The school district denied these allegations.
A parent who requested information related to the anti-white curriculum her daughter was being taught in kindergarten was sued by the National Education Association teachers union.
“Essentially [they were] trying to stop the public records process,” her attorney said. “I think it was a pure intimidation tactic to tell parents that they know what’s best for their kids. And if parents are going to be active and be responsible and try and get information, then, well, you know, they don’t like it. And then you’re going to be on their list next.”
The parent indicated to Fox News the teachers union has a massive capital reserve used to control parents through law-fare.
“Being sued by a special interest group, the NEA, that has $300 million in a slush fund that’s available to just bully stay-at-home moms like me was a real eye-opener to how public school really operates,” the parent said.
Journalist Jacob Hall was told that his records request regarding Tranny Week in an Iowa school will cost $604,000.
“A campaign to break up teachers unions is necessary, along with a complete reformation of the American public school system. School choice legislation (which teachers unions viciously oppose) could also be used to take down schools that have been overrun by progressives, simply by giving parents easier access to alternatives. In the new Trump era the public education system faces a reckoning that is well deserved,” ZeroHedge said Sunday. “Until that day, parents may need pull their children out of these institutions and home school. It’s the only way to be sure their kids aren’t being brainwashed.”
The secretive curriculum doesn’t appear to even benefit student’s knowledge base.
“The US spends over 23.2% of per capita income on its students each year, 9% more than Singapore while over 26 other countries that spend less outscore US students,” The Mises Institute said in 2016. “Of 64 countries in the International Student Assessment, the U.S. ranks 35th in math and 27th in science.”
