Welcome to The Huntsville City Schools Demilitarized Zone

The Seoul Guide

Let's recap.

In a 3-2 vote, the The Huntsville City School Board of misEducation fired the previous Superintendent, Dr. Anne Roy Moore, replacing her with retired Colonel Casey Wardynski, fondly refereed to as The Polish Hammer by the dumbest human being ever allowed to have a talk radio show. But I digress.

Opening Salvo

Dr. Casey Wardynski re enacting General Sherman's march to the Sea, firing teachers and Principals left and right, armed with S. 310, the Students First Act, sponsored by Sen. Trip Pittman and Rep. Chad Fincher. Don't let the name Student's First fool you. 

Surgical Strike

Casey you have to break the mold and prove you're not afraid of minorities, democrats, liberals, aclu types and the entire entitlement crowd! Do that, and you'll be doing the job you were hired to do! Oh yeah, not to mention striking down all racial transfers. And that includes allowing not allowing whites to racially transfer either. If you don't like where your child goes to school, move to where they can be zoned into a school of your preference, that's what I had to do!

Classify the Plan

Huntsville on Thursday finally got a look at the closely guarded plans for shuffling school zone lines.
City maps and computer slides and a lengthy history lesson greeted the crowd, as more than a hundred shoehorned into the board meeting room, spilling into the halls, listening as Superintendent Casey Wardynski laid out his vision for which kids should attend which Huntsville schools.

Suppress Dissent 

Announce the plan in a five day count down and structure the delivery so that no one knows who their allies are at the meeting. No time to oppose and no idea who to rally.

Bonus Earned 

Address the Desegregation Court Order. (7.4 out of 10 points.) To earn these 7.4 points, Dr. Wardynski has hired another lawyer, Marie Sneed, to do the work of addressing this concern.

Mission Accomplished

 The plan will be presented to the school board and is scheduled to be voted on at tonight's meeting. Click here to see the agenda.
If no compromise is reached between the district and the Department of Justice on the system's plan or the DOJ counter proposal, school officials will take matters to federal court.

How can we fight back?

Since our board and superintendent don’t want to answer questions from the public about their version of the rezoning plan, I would suggest going over their head to the Department of Justice.
The DoJ, will after all, have final say about what the plan looks like anyway.
Let Sarah Hinger know that the district is completely ignoring public input into this plan. As she stated in her letter to J. R. Brooks dated December 17, 2013, the district is actually required to be involved in the plan to unify the district. I’m sure that she would be interested in knowing that the district is not doing so.

What Geek Pavaler said

I’m certain that since Wardynski is going to soon file suit against the Department of Justice, that she would be interested in knowing how little the public has been involved in this process.
It would seem that the board and superintendent need to look up the definition of the word conversation.

 It is painful to watch democracy, fairness, and justice, die. I and woke up this morning with that same sick feeling I had after the not guilty verdict in the  George Zimmerman trial.
