IOWA CHURCHES MUST FIGHT IOWA SCHOOLS AND THE ISEA TEACHER'S UNION FOR ACADEMICALLY ABUSING IOWA'S CHILDREN!!
When will Iowa churches stand up against Iowa academic child abuse? When will they tackle the perpetrators of the abuse--the Iowa schools and ISEA teacher's union?
The ISEA teacher's union controls Iowa's schools, and some newspapers and columnists as well!!
Cedar Rapids Gazette Columnist, Jennifer Hemmingsen, wrote a column equating poor and minority students to "rotten blueberries"--who can't be taught in Iowa public schools. No one took her to task, except Iowalive. Newspaper editors, ISEA teacher's union, politicians, educators, churches, preachers and priests etc. all remained silent--but they condemned Penn State.
There was a huge outcry for Penn State child sex abuse of 8 boys. Iowa public schools produce at least 76,000 academically abused kids per year. Penn State teacher and coach, Joe Paterno, was fired for good cause—even though he reported the abuse.
It is arguable whether Penn State child sex abuse is worse than Iowa child academic abuse. Both are very bad—if not criminal. Iowa school dropouts and passed-through graduates, who can barely read or do arithmetic, find it impossible to find good jobs and they carry the stigma of being dummies, for life--and being publically equated to "rotten blueberries", as well.
Where are Iowa's churches? Why are they hiding from such blatant and damaging child abuse? Now is the time for them to step up and be counted--for the kids!!
Judy Hintz brings the “rotten blueberries” students up to and above grade level in reading and math. Here is her website: http://www.thekidfixer.com/ Hemmingsen and educators refuse to listen to Judy. They completely ignore her—as does the Cedar Rapids Gazette and Des Moines Register. Judy was not invited to speak at Branstad’s July Education Forum. She was persona non grata, and still is.
Where are the Iowa churches? when Judy so desperately needs their help to stop Iowa school and teacher's union child abuse.
The following chart shows a partial extent of Iowa's academic child abuse, which is far worse than the bullying, the schools seem to fret about. The media and educators refuse to report the chart, or their version of it. Instead, they try to fix the problem, with the same folks who caused it. The latest proposed fix is called the “blueprint”. It is no different than the previous education fix failures, perpetrated by those who caused the failures and child abuse—as shown in the table below the chart.
Constructivists, like Hemmingsen, believe in the constructivist theory--the kids are flawed, not the schools. Kids suffer life long abuse as a result!! Where are the Iowa churches when the kids desperately need their help and protection?

Anyone claiming to have better numbers is asked to provide them.
Abused school Graduates who can barely read or do arithmetic find it impossible to find good jobs and they carry the stigma of being dummies, for life.
Does anyone know of any newspaper columnists, school officials or teachers who were fired, for not reporting academic child abuse at all? Where are the churches when they are so desperately needed? The ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran of America) got itself side-tracked and embroiled with homosexual marriage, sex and sex acts. It is time for the ELCA to abandon homosexual marriage and stand up for Iowa's kids!!
Which is more important to the ELCA, homosexual marriage, sex and sex acts—or Iowa school graduates who can barely read and do arithmetic—if they don’t drop out of school completely? Iowa schools produce at least 76,000 of them per year. It is past time for the ELCA to abandon homosexual marriage and stand up for the kids!!
Where are the other churches, and their moral authority?
When will Iowa churches stand up against Iowa academic child abuse? When will they tackle the perpetrators of the abuse--the Iowa schools and ISEA teacher's union?
