Kyle's Anti-American Views

One of Kyle’s ongoing rants is against teachers, other school employees, and private citizens from exercising their rights. In the February 19 issue of the Flint Journal, Kyle once again publicly criticizes citizens that participate in their community’s affairs. He argues that some citizens (school employees) shouldn't be allowed to participate in local government.

A high school civics text used in schools all over Michigan states that, “people have used their power and authority to influence their government. They have done this in various ways.” One of the ways is to elect and recall their leaders, yet Kyle thinks recall campaigns are “foolish.” In other words, the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution are foolish.

All over Michigan Kyle promotes an anti-democracy, anti-American view point. He doesn’t think that citizens should participate in local government. He doesn’t think elected officials need to be held accountable to the public that elected them. He doesn’t think Abraham Lincoln’s famous quote, “government of the people, by the people, for the people,” is valid.

Don't buy the Education Action Group's claims that there should be no recalls because they might hurt someone's feelings. Each American citizen, including a school employee, has the right to elect his/her leaders AND these leaders have the responsibility to listen to the voters.

Kyle Has Zero Support

A recent poll on this site asked readers what they thought was the best way to improve their local public schools. The most popular answers included: maintaining adequate class sizes, providing a diverse curriculum, and ensuring that highly qualified/certified teacher and support staffs are employed by local districts.

One answer got ZERO support - NO ONE thinks that bashing teachers, support staff, and the MEA is a way to improve public schools. But that is exactly what Kyle Olson, the Education Action Guy, does. He butts into local public school issues with his anti-public school rhetoric, even when local teachers and school boards tell him they don't need nor want him (http://eagtruth.blogspot.com/2008/07/kyle-is-butting-in-again.html).

He somehow believes that demeaning teachers and support staff for working to improve their schools will help.
