We The People - Not Be Animals

Updated: Jul 19




In January 2024, I sent you my intended retirement plans from Save PV Schools. Today, July 13, 2024, I was reflecting on when our mission to save the children began. In May of 2021, my husband and I drove alone in the car for a wedding near Napa. It was a rare occasion when the kids were not in the car with us. With no kids in the car, I could speak even more freely than usual. I went off on a long rant about the absurdity of everything from the beginning of the lockdowns to where we were in the middle and my fear for what may become of America.


I said to my husband, "I bet some of these kids haven't had human interaction with anyone other than their parents and people online. Isolation makes people crazy; isolation is what they do to Prisoners of War!"


I concluded the kids isolated for a year would not be a threat to society but would most likely develop severe anxiety or other mental disorders.

It was evident by August 2020 that children were at a higher risk of death travelling to school by bus than of COVID-19.

Four years later, some of the children subjected to the strictest isolation by their parents have changed their genders and, others, now identify as furries. Organizations like, Safer Schools, recommend affirming childhood delusions creating a culture void of unhealthy boundaries and a lack of social norms.




As we were driving, to my husband's credit, he listened to me go on and on about all that was wrong in the world. And, then, when I paused, he used my own words against me and said, "A wise woman once said to me,

"Either change your attitude or change your situation."

That wise woman, was me.


So, there it began. On the car ride to a wedding, I knew I could not change my attitude. I would have to change the situation. I grabbed my phone, and wrote in the search bar,

"Who is fighting the mask mandates in California?"

That's when I learned about Let Them Breathe.


Their website said, "Join us! Families standing for our rights and excellent, ethical education."


The following weekend, I drove from LA to San Diego to join them.



I bought a bunch of Let Them Breathe Yard Signs and did something I vowed never to do again, I opened a new Facebook account. I made my first post,

"Who wants a Let Them Breathe Yard Sign?"



Instantly, people from Palos Verdes and around the South Bay found me and started buying up signs. Feeling, aligned with the Let Them Breathe mission, in June of 2021, together with several South Bay Moms, we hosted a local "Let Them Breathe" rally at Veterans' Park in Redondo Beach.


Some outsiders approached me and asked,

"Why are you hosting this rally?

Then followed with a declaratory statement from the experts,

"The County said they are lifting the mask mandate next week for the unvaccinated?"

I thought,

"How cute. They trust the Government."

We knew those in power would never relinquish their power until a greater opposing force made them.


The mask mandate was lifted for the vaccinated on June 15, 2021, only to be reinstated on July 16, 2021 and would not be lifted again until after the County announced on February 16, 2022, at 12:01 a.m but children, however, were still required to keep their masks on at school for at least another two weeks. 


The Let Them Breathe Lawsuit was against the California Department of Public Health and Governor Newsom. We knew even if the State lifted the mandate we still had to battle Barbara Ferrer, the moron in charge of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Ferrer had a PhD in social welfare; not immunology. We knew from day 1, COVID-19 was like the cold and the flu; meaning it would never go away.


We formed Save PV Schools, LLC because we tried to convince our school board to follow the law. Our goal was simple:

"Lift the mask mandates and prevent the vaccines from being mandated."

However, the process of legal gymnastics was far from simple. What made matters worse is the fact that some people in town and our school board fictitiously believed they had the legal authority to force their pharmaceutical beliefs onto all of us. Spoiler Alert - They didn't!


School Board Members do not have the legal authority to mandate vaccines. The Board should have informed the people that Vaccine Mandates are outside the Board's Jurisdiction. Instead, the District spent hours behind closed doors discussing how to vaccinate all of the children and parents.


As for the Save PV School Lawsuit vs LA County Department of Public Health and vs PVPUSD; the legal process took us two years of back-and-forth litigation and then, finally, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health changed the language of the mask mandate from an order to what it always should have been - a recommendation. With no order in place, the Judge said he could not order the County or the Palos Verdes Unified School District to stop doing something it had already stopped doing; making our request for an injunction moot. So, we consider that a WIN for us.


We filed multiple public records requests, a right of the people, to learn how our tax dollars are being spent. Linsey Gotanda, PVPUSD's DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT, was zealotus in her push to get everyone vaccinated. She sent frequent emails to Principal Mancilla, (RIS) Farrel (PVIS), Lehault (MIS), Brent Kuykendall (PEN), Tyner, Ramirez (PV) and others, writing,


"The more vaccinated the better:)" And, the Principals sent out emails constantly urging us to get vaccinated.

To date, according to the national vaccine safety surveillance program (VAERS) - the COVID-19 vaccines have caused more injuries than any other vaccine combined.


United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Public Health Service (PHS), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) / Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) 1990 - 06/28/2024, CDC WONDER On-line Database. Accessed at http://wonder.cdc.gov/vaers.html on Jul 18, 2024 8:41:46 AM




The vaccines are thought to be so dangerous by some experts they have been banned in the State of Florida. Only Three Presidents refused the World Health Order totalitarian overreach and would not allow the vaccines to enter their country; The Presidents of Haiti, Tanzania and Zambia. They all mysteriously died suddenly. I was in Tanzania at the height of the pandemic and interviewed my Tanzanian friends about President John Magufuli and one thing is for certain the American Media lied about everything.




In 2023, Members of the executive committee passed the “Ban the Jab” resolution, designed to ban the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine in the state of Florida, stating:

"The Lee County Republican Party is going to be on the vanguard of this campaign to stop the genocide because we have foreign non governmental entities that are unleashing biological weapons on the American people."

While views differ on the vaccine what is unequivocally true is it did not stop transmission or prevent illness and for some it was deadly.

I would be willing to bet not one Principal cared enough to read the package inserts before marketing them to kids. Regardless, school Principals and School Staff never had the legal authority to mandate vaccines only the State Legislative Body can do that by passing a Bill and then getting the Governor to sign it into law.



When I reflect on the last four years, I could easily get caught up in feeling disgusted by the unnatural human behavior I witnessed. I have enough evidence for multiple lawsuits against District Employees. Though our case was declared moot; the Judge did not rule on the issue of the violation of the Brown Act so we could at anytime file again but the legal gymnastics would take another two years and there are far more pressing issues to deal with.


Witnessing neighbors attacking neighbors for letting their children play at the park, seeing educators, with no health degrees or signs of health, trying to vaccinate our children, and getting weekly emails from principals and school staff targeting unvaccinated children is hard to sit with. One of my children was forced on a regular basis to sit alone at lunch every time she was near a child who tested positive for COVID and every single child testing for COVID happened to be vaccinated. She saw her friends get sick over and over again; one vomited blood after getting the second dose of MRNA so she didn't mind sitting alone since the alternative didn't look better. She learned resilience that year and the strength in sitting alone. A year later, Mr. Mancilla at Ridgecrest started the next radical act of extremism and began promoting the Gender and Sex Clubs to children. - Just following every new social Democrat Trend.





As for us, we were, as all people who speak out against the cabal, mocked, labeled and harassed online. There were days when I woke up to a hundred nasty comments and even death threats on Facebook. People targeted my personal business and sent death threats to my business email. At the height of insanity we were put on a police watchlist for not wearing masks at a school board meeting but still we didn't back down because we were guided by a higher power.


Our motto in our house is,

"Save Yourself! No one is coming."

The pandemic was a catalyst; a deep personal trigger that lit our inner fire. WE, THE PEOPLE, knew there would be a permanent change in America if we didn't do something. Politicians tried to pass multiple bills into law. With each one we notified our keyboard warriors and fought with the pen.


In 2022, California Legislator wrote several bills that:

  • infringed on the health privacy of children,

  • interfered with how doctors work,

  • imposed a burden on businesses and workers,

  • and relied on vaccines that do not in many cases prevent the transmission of COVID-19. 

 Bills Imposing ON Health Privacy and Threatening Informed Consent Rights:


  • SB 871 would require all children 0 to 17 to get the COVID-19 vaccine to attend child care or school (DEAD)

  • SB 866 would allow kids 12 to 17 to get the COVID-19 vaccine without parental consent (PASSED AND AMENDED TO KIDS 15 AND OVER)

  • SB 1479 would require schools to continue testing and to create testing plans (PASSED)

  • SB 1464 would force law enforcement officials to enforce public health orders (DEAD) -Canceled at the Request of the Author

  • AB 1993 would require all employees, including independent contractors, to show proof of COVID-19 vaccine to work in California (DEAD)- Hearing canceled at the request of author.

  • AB 1797 would make changes to the California Immunization Record Database -Approved By Newsom

  • AB 2098 would reclassify the sharing of COVID-19  “misinformation” by doctors and surgeons  as unprofessional conduct that would result in disciplinary action. - Approved by Newsom - Challenged by Doctors

    • The Liberty Justice Center filed the first federal lawsuit challenging AB 2098, McDonald v. Lawson, in October 2022.The Liberty Justice Center challenged the censorship law on behalf of plaintiffs Dr. Mark McDonald and Dr. Jeff Barke, two California physicians who argued that the law infringed upon their right to free speech and hindered their ability to care for their patient

    • The case led to the law’s repeal and that California’s doctors are again free to give patients their best, honest advice.

    • On February 29, the Liberty Justice Center announced the close of McDonald v. Lawson, its case challenging California’s blatant violation of the First Amendment through its physician censorship law, Assembly Bill 2098 (AB 2098).


 

Governor Newsom

State Senator Susan Talamantes Eggman - Vice-Chair and Chair of the California Legislative LGBTQ+

Caucus,

State Superintendent of California Education Tony Thurmond


With each bill we killed; the predominately LGBTQ caucus continued to write more bills, so they could play doctor and play school house with our kids.


Assemblymember Chris Ward, a San Diego Democrat and member of the LGBTQ caucus — wrote Assembly Bill 1955 to:

  1. Restrict school employees from revealing details about a student’s sexual orientation to their  parents

  2. Restricts school employees from revealing gender identity or gender expression to their parents

  3. It creates a culture in which Teachers are given a position of autonomy and blind faith to have intimate conversations with a child about their sexual orientation and gender - much like Priests once had with alter boys and Boy Scouts Leaders had with their cubs - it is sick and deranged

Assembly Bill 1955, was signed into law by Governor Newsom on Monday, July 15, 2024. The law attacks, as Elon Musk wrote on X, "both families and companies." SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California to Starbase, Texas, and many families will take their children out of public school and move out of state.


 

From the beginning of the lockdowns to where we are now in 2024, our concern is about far more than mask mandates.


We are witnessing radical extremists and some politicians who continue to sow division among communities by spreading lies and attacking parents. These activists want total control in our children's lives.


The radical extremists, during the lockdowns, called the police to report, "There are children playing together outside." Meanwhile they claimed the riots that caused billions in property damage was, "Justifiable rage." They proudly posted their black squares on Facebook and continued to fight to keep schools locked down.



In 2020, hard-left acolytes paid agitators to fuel an explosive race war to prevent Donald Trump from serving a second term as President of The United States. Actors and celebrities bailed criminals out of jail. Three years later, in 2023, the new zero-bail policy took effect in L.A. County, enabling rioters and crooks to terrorize neighborhoods.




At the same time between 2020 and 2021, social media companies rolled out new gender pronouns for children.



And, all the while, the Democrats claimed to be the party of progress and love while they encouraged men to dress up as women and forced Military Commanders, Police Chiefs, and Fire Captains to fire the unvaccinated which caused a shortage in trained protectors of the peace.




The Biden Administration's Priorities

‘Be true to yourself’ - Admiral Rachel Levine

"Living Authentically Saves Lives"




At the same time, the radicals infiltrated every sphere of public life in the name of "diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).


Gone are the days when the best person gets the job instead- Every major corporation started filling quotas to hire more women, more lesbians, more transgender people, more people of color and more gender questioning people.


https://careers.blackrock.com/life-at-blackrock-2/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-2/#:~:text=Our%20inclusive%20orientation%20%E2%80%93%20the%20priority,new%20perspectives%20into%20our%20mission.


And, while the chaos was ensuing and people focused on drag queens, politicians made wide-sweeping changes to State Laws - giving themselves unlimited and unchecked power and access into all children's lives.


Activists began recruiting gay police officers for duty - instead of focusing on their ability to do the job of law enforcement - activists focused on cops sexuality for a diversity and equity hire. And, at the same time, San Francisco Democrat Senator, Scott Wiener, wrote more bad bills affecting children and families. Wiener wrote Senate Bill 145 challenging the current law, in place for decades, which permitted judges to decide whether a man should be placed on California's sex offender registry if he had voluntary intercourse with someone 14 to 17 years old and was no more than 10 years older than the person.



Big Week For Team Wiener

And, now he gets to make decisions about what's best for children.

Friends don't let friends vote for Wieners.


SB 145, one of many of the Wiener bills was supported by civil rights groups as well as the California District Attorneys Association (George Gascón) and California Police Chiefs Association .


 

We watched as Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn moved on from trying to get shots in kids' arms to riding in the back of cars at PRIDE festivals and taking photos with The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI).



And, while Janice Hahn was being soft on crime and getting hard with PRIDE, Los Angeles County saw a 9% increase from 2022 to 2023 in people experiencing homelessness. The 2023 effort reported more than 75,500 people were homeless on any given night in LA County.



 

Bret Weintsein, evolutionary theorist, author of A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century, and the host of The DarkHorse Podcast, recently spoke outside the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. He said:


We are under attack. The principles of national sovereignty, personal liberty, and the consent of the governed have been slated for destruction by a tiny global elite that desperately wants to rule us. They aim to dictate what we are allowed to do, to say, and to think, to control where and when we may travel, what drugs and injections we must take, what doubts we are allowed to harbor. They want the ability to shut down discussion and to close down the channels we use to challenge the veracity of their narratives and the legitimacy of their power. In short, they are angry, that we successfully pulled back the curtain during the COVID era and itching for a rematch. They are working overtime at the World Health Organization to rewrite all the rules so that next time they can win...They are seeking an unprecedented level of control. They must fail. This international cabal finds our belief in liberty irritating, and it finds our insistence on informed consent laughable, so it has targeted our National Sovereignty from above.

 

As for us, we knew we couldn't save the world, or stop the chaos, or prevent moms from taking their toddler to Drag Queen story hour but at least we could get our kids out of the face diapers.



For us, we wanted to be able to say,

"We fought back. We did something."

While Weinstein places the blame on the global elite, I place it on bad policies written by incredibly stupid people pretending to be helpful and cowards who say nothing because they want to be politically correct or they are too afraid of losing their job so instead they lose their soul.


Most people prefer to look the other way and bury their heads in the sand and, pretend "Everything is Awesome when you are part of the team."


There is a long list of people in our town, people I live next to, who pushed their insane and morally corrupt beliefs onto us, but ironically they never said anything to me in person. They enjoyed the safety of their homes and the protection of sitting behind a computer screen dictating what we all should do so they would feel even more safe. Some of the people who supported forced vaccinations, six feet distancing and masking, have moved on to a new cause - Wiener World - which includes demanding our children read books like Gender Queer and Too Bright To See.


On August 11, 2021, several people in Palos Verdes and oddly outside of Palos Verdes, signed a petition to take away parental rights and, medical informed consent rights. They did this as they were watching us via zoom while we were in person at the PVPUSD board meeting. Later, the Palos Verdes School District destroyed the record of the meeting.


With the exception of Mat Brach, the PVPUSD school board violated their Oath of Office and they violated the Brown Act. Whether people agree with us or not;

the public has the right to view the meeting.

The meeting in its entirety is here:


Fringe Minority Group of Parents Sign Petition to Demand Medical Tyranny



Sara Deen signed the petition to strip people of informed consent rights. She now sits on PVPUSD School Board.



Once the COVID mandates and six foot distance rule was over the radicals shifted their focus to "inclusivity." - Their way to now - build a more inclusive world was to pretend as if they never excluded anyone and now it was time to focus on Drag Queens.


In 2023, we discovered that two fifth grade teachers from Vista Grande Elementary in Palos Verdes read aloud a novel about a girl who declares, "I am a boy." The teachers claimed the novel builds empathy. The parents who opposed the book claimed, "Books about gender ideology encourage children to believe dangerous delusional behavior that can result in a child seeking plastic surgery."


While some thought we had an issue with only one book and, then made ad hominem attacks. The PV Democrats labeled us "transphobic," and, claims parents who want to decide what books their own children read are engaging a a "far right culture war." -





We showed up to the meeting on September 17, 2023, with books in hand. Sharon Rizzi got up to read to the PV Democrats. Ann Nye, 2nd Vice-President of The PV Dems, held the microphone.



Rizzi asked Muslim Board Member, Sara Deen, and the Palos Verdes Faculty Association leader, "Do you think this is appropriated for Elementary School?" Deen refused to answer a simple question, "Is it appropriate for a fifth grade teacher to read books about masterbation to her classroom or have them available for kids to read for pleasure?"


After the meeting, we walked up to speak with Assembly Member, Al Muratsuchi, with Gender Queer in my hands. I opened the book and said, "This is the book the Far Right doesn't want kids reading in the classroom." We naively thought if they "did their research," and saw the books, we would all agree they didn't belong in little kids hands at school. Then, hoping we could find common ground, I showed the book to Ann Nye. She said, "What? What's wrong with it. It's masterbation. Don't you masterbate?" And, then she said, "It's sex ed." And, she walked away leaving us all in shock.





Regardless of the PV Democrats PRIDE in masterbation; Teachers are legally not allowed to teach sex ed in elementary school without a parent's written consent for their child to participate in the lesson. It is illegal to read books about sex and gender to children in public school without written consent from parents.


Parents or guardians must be notified by the school or district at the beginning of the school year (or at the time of enrollment) about planned instruction in comprehensive sexual health and HIV prevention education and research on student health behaviors and risks. The notice must advise parents/guardians that the written and audiovisual educational materials used in the comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention education course are available for inspection. The school district must also inform parents/guardians about whether the instruction will be provided by district personnel or outside consultants or guest speakers. Further, all instruction and materials from outside consultants or guest speakers must meet all tenets of the law. If instruction will be provided by outside consultants or guest speakers, the notice must include the name and organizational affiliation of the outside consultant or guest speaker and the date of the instruction. The notice must also inform parents/guardians of their right to request copies of Education Code §§ 51933, 51934, and 51938. If arrangements are made after the initial notification is sent out at the beginning of the year, districts must notify parents at least 14 days prior to the instruction via mail or another commonly used method.  (EC § 51938(b).)

In this notification, schools must advise parents/guardians that they have the right to excuse their child from comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention education and that in order to excuse their child they must state their request in writing to the school district.  (EC § 51938(b)(4).)  Schools may not require active consent (“opt-in”) for participation in comprehensive sexual health and HIV prevention education. Parents/guardians must request in writing that their child not participate in the instruction (passive consent, or “opt-out”). If the parent/guardian does not request in writing that the child be withheld, the child will attend the instruction.  (EC § 51938(a).)


Gender Queer was not on Mrs. Tredenick's book list but it has been one of the most hotly debated books and the most challenged book, ironically since Harry Potter and Captain Underpants.


Mrs. Tredenick is infusing the fifth grade curriculum with books about sex, gender ideology, AND according to a parent whose son was in her classroom in 2022 to 2023, is covered from ceiling to floor with her sectarian beliefs ABOUT: RACISM, SEXISM, & TRANSHUMANISM.


One mother described to the Board the books in Mrs. Tredenick's library beginning with, "Sex Is A Funny Word."


LISTEN:





We posted about the Teachers because the public has the legal right to know what kids are reading in the classroom. Teachers are Government Employees and therefore what they teach in Government Buildings belongs to the public.


Despite what some Teachers may fancy, teachers may not teach about sex outside of the District approved Health Education curriculum.


California state law, the California Healthy Youth Act (AB 329), requires that comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention education be provided to students at least once in middle school and once in high school, starting in grade 7.

51934 (a)

Each school district shall ensure that all pupils in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, receive

comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention education from instructors

trained in the appropriate courses. Each pupil shall receive this instruction at least once

in junior high or middle school and at least once in high school. This instruction shall

include all of the following:

51934 (b)

A school district may provide comprehensive sexual health education or HIV prevention

education consisting of age-appropriate instruction earlier than grade 7 using instructors

trained in the appropriate courses. A school district that elects to offer comprehensive

sexual health education or HIV prevention education earlier than grade 7 may provide

age appropriate and medically accurate information on any of the general topics

contained in paragraphs (1) to (10), inclusive, of subdivision (a).


Many parents filed complaints with the district citing multiple violations including but not limited to Board Policy: 6141 Curriculum Development and Evaluation: 6142.1 Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS prevention instruction.


Sex Education is not a required subject for the 5th grade per California standards nor is there a PVPUSD board approved curriculum or a legitimate reason for Gina Treddenick to read to her class, "Tell Me About Sex Grandma."

Below is a list sent to me by a Mom with a fifth grader in the Mrs. Tredenick's classroom.




Then, we received a shocking recording of a middle school teacher yelling at his student, in what first began as a discussion of gas cars vs electric vehicles and crescendoed into, "Trump sleeps with pornstars."




As more people reached out to us, there was a common theme, a small group of teachers frequently lost their temper in the classroom, violated board policies, and they were pushing radical leftist ideologies and political beliefs onto students. Yet, even after we filed multiple complaints with the District; nothing changed.


The California Constitution and Education codes Codes 47605(d)(1)Prohibits district employees from teaching any sectarian or denominational doctrine or advocating for or against a political party. In addition, according to 1267, POLITICAL ACTIVITIES Education Code Section 7054 - it is illegal for District Staff to advocate for or against a ballot measure or any political candidate.

And, then, things got even more disturbing.


We received a Direct Message from a mom. She sent me a screenshot of the whiteboard at her son's ELEMENTARY school. She told me, "My son got in the car with his little buddy. The two started talking about their substitute teacher, Mx. Garnet. She said her son's friend said to her son, "Do you think he has a PEE-PEE?" The mother said to me, "In what world is it ok for a Teacher to fascinate a child with whether or not he has a penis?" To make matters worse, Mx. Garnet wrote his Instagram handle on the board and, illustrated a detailed description explaining he was not a he or a Mr. but He was a she/they but they wanted to be referred to as MIX. In addition, Mx. Garnet was tagging every school he taught at on Instagram as a way to get more followers to his page.



We went to MIX's page and right there on his public page, "A naked butt and a purple bong!"




@Ambrosia_zeroone (AKA Mx. Garnet) made post after post in his public stories about the adult parties he attended.


We found another post with an image of toddler magnets on a whiteboard that read,

"Why else exist if not to play, sing and fuck and just be loved."


And then we noticed Caitlin_Wadell_Chow (she/her), the Vista Grande Fifth Grade Teacher who insinuated in a public comment with her hand on her heart on March 8, 2023, that if the District didn't let her read Too Bright To See, "The bigots would win" was following Ambrosia - AKA Mx. Garnet.




Chow was following Queer Social (a minor); and, both Chow and the minor were following Mx. Garnet who goes by the handle @ambrosia,
