Board Meeting video


Nov 15 meeting of the SOCCCD Board of Trustees 
[click on link for YouTube video]

Public comments
6:55 “inject my body against my will.” “Mandate…unethical.” 
9:05 [Professor Seth Hochwald’s wife] California state employees given option of vaccinate or test. Why not allow those options for employees of the district. “I need an answer.” Marcia does not answer but refers to recommendations. 

Board Reports: [11:07] 
15:38 [Whitt’s report: “I ended up with Covid….” [Found out day of last meeting.] Weird account of hospital stay. “No one came to visit me.” “I thought of how scared I was, feeling of hopelessness…" Thought of all the people who died in that room. I’m vaccinated. You can’t talk about your experience until you have it….” --Very hard to follow. Weird, weird, weird. “Reconsider, all of you, what you are doing.”

Just because of these politically-obsessed faculty... the country is divided.

So true, 5:54, everyone knows that teachers are the most powerful force in the U.S.A.

Jemal was good to point out the recent visit to IVC by State Senator David Min.

Check out the latest op-ed penned by Saddleback President Stern and posted on his Linked-In account:

I think he is running for something.

Susan Wilson (one of those who responded to Stern's post)
"Although it angers me to hear that you have been among those targeted by anti-vaxxers; I am grateful to hear that your reply is a call to courage and ethical leadership. Giving power to bullies rewards incivility and hate; andso it is my hope that more people share your view and your moral conviction."

My response to Susan Wilson:
Go ahead, continue to be angry and raise your blood pressure. Why can't you, vaccine-mandate-obsessed, understand that those who are anti vaccine MANDATE are not necessarily anti vaccine? How DUMB these people are. No matter how eloquently Stern's article was written, it goes back to--POLITICs and, yes, students are suffering and many professors are retiring because of your dirty POLITICS!

Dr Stern is so full of s#*t in his Linkedin post. He is the opposite of consensus building. He is the queen of mandates. His way or the highway.
"Avoiding controversial topics"? He made the college go through a year of crap to avoid making the obvious choice that Gaucho was a bad mascot. He did not want his skin on the line. Ever.
And he is some martyr about favoring vaccine mandates? He was against them in another Linkedin diatribe. He literally has a post titled "The Case Against Vaccine Mandates at Community Colleges" from August of this year.

Jemal is a republican disguised as a democrat. What do you expect David Min to say... something negative?

Have a good Thanksgiving to each of the Blog's three thinkers and writers.
