More and more students drop-out of high schools and getting bad grades because a number of bad teachers are existing in alameda public schools. Teachers are hard on the students, including Asian kids. Seems AUSD administrators and the teachers don’t like the kids to succeed. shameful!

I can’t understand how anyone would or could object to the names of the plantiffs being published in this suit. This is simply a matter of public record. I believe that you can go on the Alameda Superior Court’s website and get not only the names of the plaintiffs but also a copy of the complaint itself.

As for Flava’s comment about parents not wanting “schools to homo up their kids”, I gotta say that’s one of the most interesting things that I’ve read in a long time. How does one “homo up” a kid?

John Knox White:

I just realized that you are a parent of a child at one of these schools, and the parent of one of your son’s classmates is on the lawsuit list.
Wow, that is how you treat your fellow classroom parents?

Let me tell you something: you have no business going against other parents requesting to opt out their children from the “lesson”. Keep your child there if you wish, but don’t impose your “parenting” ways on others.
If other parents do not want the school to homo up their kids, it’s their choice to make.

Shame on you.

“Even if you think their lawsuit is hateful”
why would you assume the lawsuit is hateful?
does that mean that since there are not racial, gender or religious discrimination classes that we all hate each other?
if the school district is so adamant about teaching tolerance and respect for others, it should be taught in a general sense and not allowed to kow-tow to one “group”.

It’s not about access. It’s not about legality. It’s about intent.

kaitee nguyen, it doesn’t take much effort to find out the names of the plaintiffs. It’s on the web: the whole legal lawsuit document filed. It’s totally public.

I wonder if the names that are submitted on the petition to recall the school board members will be made public?

Unlike Mr. David Hart and others on the so called anti-recall list who do have a choice to remain anonymous, we all know these plaintiffs don’t. I am sure any plaintiff in any legal case knows it’s public document and anyone with enough energy, motive (whatever that maybe), resources and drive can get the list. But I think we all know that we are not talking about the legality of posting names. We are talking about motives, and how hypocritical this motive is, especially in the context of this controversy.

It is most naive and gullible to think that this author (and others) publicizes and highlights the names for the good of the community, and that it is not a vindictive act to silence opposition and promote harassment. I don’t see how this list is germane to a real discussion of the issue.
