FSD parents continue to fight SB277
Thank you to all who attended last night’s meeting.
Thank you to Chris Thompson who clearly intended to respect the opinions of the audience and their right to voice them.
FSD board president Chris Thompson
At their next meeting, the Fullerton School Board, under a motion at the direction of outgoing board president Chris Thompson, will vote on an item that will involve district legal counsel preparing a request to send a request to the State of California to investigate the possibility of having date alignment of the 12-31-15 PBE filing deadline with the July 1, 2016 SB 277 implementation date. If approved by the board and subsequently by the State, it would mean that parents will have until July 1, 2016 to file their personal beliefs exemption rather than 12-31-15. This at the very least will give parents more time to educate themselves, investigate the issue and become compliant if they choose to exercise their rights before it is too late.
In spite of what Trustee Janny Catlin Meyer (wife of ex Fullerton city manager Chris Meyer) stated that she doesn’t want to see the Fullerton School District become the breeding ground for some sort of movement against this horrible law, the board will take what I believe to be the first step in advancing a common sense approach to dealing with this tyrannical edict. Janny, lay off the clorox will ya?
Here is some of the footage of the meeting in which legal counsel and parents can both agree we are in uncharted territory with a poorly written, toothless law that I believe should have never been passed in the first place.
SB 277 was signed into law back in the summer. The school district failed to notify parents only until they were forced to weeks before the filing date deadline of the impacts of SB 277 and to this date has still failed to advise parents that the school nurse can sign a PBE. How many PTA bake sales, fundraisers of fluff ads have come home with your child since August? Not a peep on the end of your parental rights as they relate to your children.s health under SB 277.
What is needed is more time for parents to understand their rights, exercise their rights and investigate fully what their options really are. The vaccination debate is far from over. Special thanks to Chris Thompson who ran the meeting fairly and who wasn’t afraid to state his favorable personal position on this very serious issue.
The next FSD board meeting will be scheduled for January 2016.

Anybody who has any doubt about Fullerton School District Trustee, Janny Meyer, needs to look no further than the $1,250 contribution that her husband, former City Manager, Chris Meyer gave to Jan Flory before the November 2012 election…

I’m thinking that they can afford to throw money around to influence elections, as her husband Chris retired at $15,000 per month!

Here’s the state of California website showing current retirement income of over $15,000 a month for former Fullerton City Manager Chris Meyer who IMHO allowed the public safety unions to run City Hall.
Chris is married to Fullerton School District Trustee, Janny Meyer.

In fact, while your trying to figure out how our former city Manager is compensated at over $500 per DAY!
Consider starting with City Councilwoman Jan Flory’s first foray into politics, which ironically enough, was as a beneficiary of the 1994 recall election, that was to replace these three city councilman whom the Fullerton voters had recalled earlier
1)Allen “Buck”, or A.B. Catlin
Father of FSD Trustee Janny Catlin Meyer who is married to Fullerton’s retired city manager ; )(@$500 per day) Chris Meyer.
2)Molly McClanahan political advocate for Teachers and NOCCC Trustee.
3) retired Fullerton Police Chief, and candidate sponsored by the police and fire unions, Don Bankhead.
This special election was to replace these three city council people who were recalled earlier in the year by Fullerton voters.
Note the financial support that Jan Flory’s campaign seems to garner with local Teachers and Professors, and even Attorneys.
I also think it’s particularly important to note on the link that I provided from the city of Fullerton’s website,..
http://docs.cityoffullerton.com/weblink/1/doc/206812/Page1.aspx
is that on page 6 of 17, supposedly non-partisan Fullerton Observer founder, Natalie Kennedy, donated to Jan Flory’s campaign for City Council,
…and that Fullerton Observer’s political commentator on local elections, and regular columnist, J. “Vince” Buck also donated to Jan Flory’s first campaign for City Council in 1994.

Yet somehow the Fullerton Observer still maintains that they are non-partisan, and completely un bias and objective in their coverage of Fullerton?
I know the Fullerton Observer is free, however I’m not even close to buying that it’s non-partisan, or even objective in their coverage of local politics

Has society become so amoral that we collectively no longer hold our elected representatives, our public servants and our media including our newspapers to any real standards. When it becomes clear that you can not trust most of what comes out of the mouths or from the written word of these so-called stalwarts of our society and no one is held to account, we have a major problem that will not easily or quickly be solved.
Garbage in…garbage out. As a society we reap what we sow and it is not pretty.

When you hold them accountable, in public and on the public record, it doesn’t matter because they ignore it. This is the case even when they are breaking the law.
Is the only remedy filing a lawsuit or mustering enough people together to demand our rights and upholding the law?
The Fullerton Observer is the worst. It is against the kids: mandatory vaccines & mandatory exposure to wireless radiation all day at school.
