7
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>talking about the twenty twenty five Burlington Middle School survey.

8
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Is a is a Globe article today is how we

9
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 2>found out about it, To be really honest with you,

10
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.199
<v Speaker 2>and I want to hats off to the Globe and

11
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:31.800
<v Speaker 2>also hats off to the reporter on the story, James Vasnez,

12
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.079
<v Speaker 2>where they ask kids in the sixth, seventh and eighth

13
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 2>grade some pretty out out there questions dealing with their

14
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 2>quote unquote sexuality and what sort of sexual activity they

15
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>had engaged in These just kids in the sixth, seventh

16
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 2>and eighth grade, and whether or not they had used

17
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 2>toys or props, either vaginally or anally. And now some

18
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>parents had opted out of this, which is understandable, but

19
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess the kids were still subjected to it. So

20
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>I want to listen to what parents say. Uh, and

21
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 2>I have a two Burlington parents lined up who've been

22
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 2>very patient. I'm going to go right to them. Let

23
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 2>me go to Cheryl and Burlington. Cheryl, I need to

24
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>listen to what you have to say. You go right ahead.

25
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Hi, thank you so much for having us on. I

26
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 3>appreciate it.

27
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:17.799
<v Speaker 2>Sure.

28
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 3>So my situation is a little different. My husband did

29
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 3>opt my son out of the survey, but they kept

30
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 3>him in the classroom while his friends were taking the survey,

31
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.359
<v Speaker 3>and his friends were very confused. My son said, you know,

32
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 3>he felt very uncomfortable being in the class. But then

33
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 3>one of his friends turned to him and said, you know, bro,

34
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 3>what's on this paper? What is this question? And my

35
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 3>son was like, I don't know. Why don't you google it?

36
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 2>So I asked you that's what they wanted the kids

37
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>to do.

38
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know, but I my son, well, what

39
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 3>kind of question was it? I mean, was it about alcohol?

40
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 3>Is it about tobacco?

41
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 4>You know?

42
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 3>What was it about your gender? He's like, no, mommy,

43
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 3>I think it was a sexual question. So these kids,

44
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 3>they don't know anything like that right now. They're just

45
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 3>in sixth grade. All they want to do is play

46
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 3>video games.

47
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

48
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well the other thing too, is This is valuable

49
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.159
<v Speaker 2>teaching time. We find out that our kids are behind

50
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 2>in math, they're behind in reading, they're behind in English.

51
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 2>So let's give them a ninety page questionnaire about sex

52
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>toys in part exactly Okay, And as I say, I

53
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>hope that you folks in Burlington rise up. Parents. Eighty

54
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 2>percent of the people in Burlington are going to agree

55
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>with you when they read this survey that it is

56
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 2>that it is way over the top.

57
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.479
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I grew up in Burlington and we moved

58
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:56.039
<v Speaker 3>into the house that we have now in Burlington because

59
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 3>I was very happy with our school system. You know,

60
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 3>I've very far in life. I was very happy, and

61
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm shattered by just what is happening in the school

62
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 3>system now. It's just inappropriate and.

63
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Get involved politically, Cheryl. I can't tell you it'll be

64
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 2>the most satisfying thing you've ever done, because you're standing

65
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>up for your kids and you're standing up for your

66
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>rights as a parent. Thank you so much for calling.

67
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Please listen to this show any night that we can,

68
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 2>that we can help you out in any way. That

69
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.400
<v Speaker 2>is what Nightside is, at least as long as I'm

70
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>running this program. What it's all about and that is

71
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>dealing with local issues that affect local families.

72
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much, Thank you so much.

73
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Please listen, go listen to this tomorrow and Night's out

75
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 2>it's in a podcast form, and share it with your friends.

76
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 2>Let me go to Jason in Burlington. Jason, you're next

77
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 2>on Nightside. Go right ahead.

78
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:54.919
<v Speaker 6>Hi, Dan, thank you, thank you for taking the time

79
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 6>with us. Just to echo Cheryl, I'm actually also a

80
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.800
<v Speaker 6>town meeting member in Burlington. You had asked about the recall.

81
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:05.759
<v Speaker 6>They had actually got brought up at a previous town meeting.

82
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 6>They do not have We do not have a recall

83
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 6>in our charter right now.

84
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well that gives you more time to get ready

85
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 2>for the next election.

86
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and we are you know, be You know, people

87
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 6>keep beating the drum about the sexual questions. While those

88
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.240
<v Speaker 6>were awful, and I agree absolutely one, the other thing

89
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 6>that kept come the other questions in the survey. I

90
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 6>don't know if you went over all of them, but

91
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 6>I was, you know, during the test month, what flavors

92
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 6>of tobacco did you use? And you know, it's kind

93
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 6>of leading the kids to say, well, I don't use tobacco,

94
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 6>should I be?

95
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, sure, yeah I agree.

96
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 6>And I also I also coach in the town here too.

97
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 6>I coach these kids. I mean, my son's in seventh grade,

98
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 6>so I coached the seventh and eighth graders and that,

99
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 6>you know, after this came out, they were talking about it,

100
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 6>and someone were saying, like, we were asking these teachers

101
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 6>questions about this stuff just to make them uncomfortable. Oh,

102
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 6>I mean the kids the frame of moment to actually

103
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:06.879
<v Speaker 6>ask that.

104
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.759
<v Speaker 2>You know, well, it also comes down to who raises

105
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>your kids, and what values are instilled in your kids,

106
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>and what are they exposed to win. When it's as

107
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 2>simple as that you don't expose kids in the sixth

108
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 2>grade to calculus because frankly, they're not ready for calculus. Okay,

109
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>it's as simple as that you don't have kids in

110
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the sixth grade read and discuss Shakespeare because they're not

111
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>prepared to deal with Shakespeare. And it's it's it is infuriating.

112
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:43.199
<v Speaker 2>It is infuriating that within these school boards that all

113
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 2>you need is one or two progressives who say, well,

114
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.959
<v Speaker 2>let's do this. Let's have a survey on what type

115
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 2>of sexual perversity our children might be engaged in. It

116
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of excites me to think about what might they

117
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.199
<v Speaker 2>might be doing out there. I think we should know,

118
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:04.040
<v Speaker 2>don't you, Fred Oh, I mean yeah, it's insane. It's insane.

119
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 6>One positive point I would like to point out to

120
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 6>this too, is we have a new middle school principal.

121
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if you want me to say his name, but.

122
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Unless you want to say something complimentary about him, go ahead.

123
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:20.160
<v Speaker 6>No, it's very complimentary to Nick Mahon. Every parent I've

124
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 6>talked to has they that has reached out to him.

125
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 6>He's been very in front of this and trying, you know,

126
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 6>trying to get to.

127
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 5>The bottom of it.

128
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 6>He's not shying away from anything like the like the

129
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:37.839
<v Speaker 6>superintendent you know, with with accountability as well.

130
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 2>If any of you know him, if any of you

131
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 2>know him, reach out to him. I'd love to have

132
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 2>him on the show. He can take phone calls. Maybe

133
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:47.600
<v Speaker 2>he should be the superintendent.

134
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.879
<v Speaker 6>Well maybe, I mean. So this this actually happened two

135
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.399
<v Speaker 6>years ago, and we had asked for an option to

136
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.680
<v Speaker 6>opt into this survey. My son was in fifth grade

137
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.279
<v Speaker 6>at the time, but I saw this coming and with

138
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.800
<v Speaker 6>the they sent out a thing and you know, we

139
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker 6>got one notification. I think you've probably been told that

140
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:05.680
<v Speaker 6>already too.

141
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Yep, but it you know, we what they what they

142
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 2>do is they're they're control freaks. They play games, and

143
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>it's and what happens is the poor teachers have to

144
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 2>go along with it. And all you have to do

145
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>is elect two or three members of the school committee

146
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 2>who are going to say this is ridiculous. This is like,

147
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I use the analogy, It's like, well, well, let's teach

148
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Shakespeare in the third grade. Seriously, let's teach calculus to

149
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>the third grade. Yoh yeah, but that's what I'm saying.

150
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

151
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:35.800
<v Speaker 2>And you know, if you want to do something like

152
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:37.720
<v Speaker 2>this in high school, that's a different argument. This is

153
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:41.519
<v Speaker 2>a middle school survey. Jason, thank you much. Please get active.

154
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>You sound like me coaching kids and stuff, but at

155
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:51.759
<v Speaker 2>the same time, so important, so important activate get active.

156
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Jason, and thank you for listening. Tonight's I keep

157
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.680
<v Speaker 2>calling the show. Thank you. I'm going to keep rolling here,

158
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.240
<v Speaker 2>going to try to get everybody in and then we

159
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 2>will change top in a moment. Let me go to

160
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Mike and Norwell, Mike, you're next on NI Saga right ahead.

161
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I just want to echo what one woman said

162
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:12.439
<v Speaker 7>that let me think what she said, Oh that is

163
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 7>given by the grant. I think that's what might be

164
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 7>driving this grant money because I know and I'm not

165
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 7>sure really grooming is the right word, because why would

166
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.480
<v Speaker 7>anymen in this group and you want to groom the kids.

167
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 7>I mean, but maybe, like you said, they are getting

168
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:28.040
<v Speaker 7>some excitement out of it.

169
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I'm not saying let me be very clear,

170
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that they are grooming because they want

171
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.159
<v Speaker 2>to somehow take a bit. No, that's that's an improper,

172
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.639
<v Speaker 2>uh interpretation of it. I think that there are people

173
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.559
<v Speaker 2>who are simply more progressive than the community and they're

174
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 2>going to say, Okay, well, these kids should be exposed

175
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 2>to this, you know, at an earlier age, because they're

176
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.879
<v Speaker 2>talking about it and we want to make sure everybody

177
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 2>discusses it. Now. There's some questions on the survey that

178
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.320
<v Speaker 2>deal with alcohol use, which I think is legit intimate

179
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>because if they find out that there's a problem within

180
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:06.279
<v Speaker 2>the school system, that's a that's legitimate to bring the

181
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.559
<v Speaker 2>sexual questions in. That's a different issue in my opinion,

182
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.399
<v Speaker 2>And the analogy I use is why don't you teach

183
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.919
<v Speaker 2>calculus to kids in the third grade, because when you

184
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.759
<v Speaker 2>start talking about sex, toys and stuff like that, you

185
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>weigh over the heads of six of kids in the

186
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.039
<v Speaker 2>UH in the sixth and seventh and eighth grade. Now

187
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:25.720
<v Speaker 2>someone's going to say, oh, Dan, you don't know what

188
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 2>you're talking about. I'm telling you I have a pretty

189
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 2>good idea about what kids know about. And also it's

190
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 2>a waste of time because these kids they're behind in reading, math, English,

191
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 2>And I don't care. What the what, what the what?

192
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.960
<v Speaker 2>The surveys say, this is the this will waste of time.

193
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 2>This uppuds of ninety questions here. It's insane. In my opinion,

194
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.559
<v Speaker 2>I agree it's up to the parents to take control

195
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>of their school system. They pay for it, their kids

196
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.840
<v Speaker 2>are educated in it. They should they should decide what

197
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.440
<v Speaker 2>is discussed UH and how it's discussed.

198
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 8>And that's one is show that I want to drive home.

199
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 8>During our entire elections, basically everybody runs unopposed. And one

200
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 8>of the select Word members said he said this more

201
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.399
<v Speaker 8>than once. If you don't like what we're doing, their

202
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.600
<v Speaker 8>voters out, Well, I really want to get up there

203
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:13.360
<v Speaker 8>and say, how can I vote you out when you're

204
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:14.720
<v Speaker 8>always running unopposed.

205
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know how you can vote them out. Put

206
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>your name on the ballot, get to your friends, and

207
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>run a campaign against them. It's like all the members

208
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.360
<v Speaker 2>of Congress who always get re elected. You know, we

209
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 2>talk about term limits. We do have term limits every

210
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.559
<v Speaker 2>two years. But what happens and I've said this before

211
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.759
<v Speaker 2>and I'll say it again, you have no clue. Most

212
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 2>people have no clue what their congressman is voting for against,

213
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.759
<v Speaker 2>or what this selectman is voting for against, because they're

214
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:43.639
<v Speaker 2>too busy trying to work and pay taxes. They see

215
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.240
<v Speaker 2>the congressman once a year at the diner on a

216
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Saturday morning, and the congressman comes around in a patterman

217
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.799
<v Speaker 2>back like they Mike, Mike, how Hi, wah whaah blah,

218
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 2>everything's going, Hey, how's everything? And the people go home

219
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.399
<v Speaker 2>and they say, you know, or who call me by

220
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:04.000
<v Speaker 2>my first name? The congress went from frof. So you

221
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 2>know that's how they do it. The power of the incumbency.

222
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Go run against and you can do it. You can, Mike,

223
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 2>put your name in the ballot, get some friends, get

224
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>on the ballot, and you know what a lot of

225
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.879
<v Speaker 2>these people who are incumbents. They don't have the backbone

226
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to run for reelection, trust me on that. Okay, all right,

227
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 2>all right, thank you, Thanks, Thanks Mike. Talk to you soon. Okay,

228
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 2>quick break, coming right back. I think we're gonna wrap

229
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:31.120
<v Speaker 2>this up at ten thirty, and we're going to talk

230
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.720
<v Speaker 2>about what's going on down in El Salvador for at

231
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 2>least a half an hour. Back on Nightside, I got

232
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Lola and I got Ed, and that's probably gonna be

233
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:40.399
<v Speaker 2>in on this. At ten thirty, we will break and

234
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 2>switch topic. Coming back on Nightside.

235
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 1>If you're on Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm WAZ

236
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:48.799
<v Speaker 1>Boston's News Radio.

237
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Because keep Rowland. Are going to go to Lola in

238
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 2>San Diego. Lola actually had believe had read about this

239
00:11:55.080 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 2>story in San Diego. Hi, Lola, how are you? Lola?

240
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 2>We got to put Lola on hold. If she's not ready, Rob,

241
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.679
<v Speaker 2>let's go to Eden Wooster ed your next night Sager right.

242
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:13.399
<v Speaker 5>Ahead by Dan. Public opinion is only going to matter

243
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.200
<v Speaker 5>on this if people lose their jobs, either by not

244
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.159
<v Speaker 5>getting re elected or by in the case of the superintendent,

245
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.679
<v Speaker 5>getting fired, and if the gentleman had called it a

246
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:25.639
<v Speaker 5>few minutes ago and said there's no recall provision in

247
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:28.799
<v Speaker 5>the town charter of the town by laws will light

248
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.240
<v Speaker 5>a fire under the Board of Selectmen to put one in,

249
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, I mean, yeah.

250
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess you even if. But first of all,

251
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.639
<v Speaker 2>if there isn't, that's the issue for the next campaign.

252
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.200
<v Speaker 2>The words you say, we want to run, and one

253
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.039
<v Speaker 2>of the issues we want is a recall petition. So

254
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.159
<v Speaker 2>if we don't do the jil you know, I mean,

255
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.919
<v Speaker 2>running for politics is not brain surgery. It's not flying airplanes.

256
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty straightforward and simple stuff.

257
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:03.039
<v Speaker 5>And this is, if I can say something else, this

258
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 5>is why people want the Department of federal Department of

259
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:10.440
<v Speaker 5>Education eliminated. A lot of this grant money in quotation

260
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:14.120
<v Speaker 5>marks is not private. It's federal grant money that gets

261
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 5>routed to these local school districts through government agencies, and

262
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:24.000
<v Speaker 5>it's basically tax dollars, federal tax dollars.

263
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I totally get it. I totally agree with you,

264
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.320
<v Speaker 2>and people have to. It's got to be able to

265
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.279
<v Speaker 2>step up. You know. What will happen is a certain

266
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:35.679
<v Speaker 2>number of people will say I'm going to take my

267
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 2>kids out of school and going to put them in

268
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:40.200
<v Speaker 2>a parochial school or a private school. Well, that's a

269
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.320
<v Speaker 2>good thing, but it doesn't leave the It then leaves

270
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 2>your neighbors, the kids. If you have the money to

271
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:49.519
<v Speaker 2>do that, great, you're still paying your taxes for the

272
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.039
<v Speaker 2>public school. At that point, you're giving up. You're throwing

273
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.279
<v Speaker 2>your hands up and say take my tax money and

274
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.440
<v Speaker 2>I'll go pay for private school. I would say, keep

275
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.559
<v Speaker 2>your kid in the school. Explain to the y what's

276
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 2>going on. And I think it's interesting that they that

277
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.000
<v Speaker 2>they made these kids sit in the school. That's an

278
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.919
<v Speaker 2>effort to embarrass these kids. Because if you're sitting there

279
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:14.080
<v Speaker 2>and and the other kids are taking the test, this questionnaire,

280
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:17.080
<v Speaker 2>every the other kids, Hey Billy, how come are you

281
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.840
<v Speaker 2>are taking this? You know what? What I give man

282
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 2>enough to take the test. It subjects Billy and others

283
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.759
<v Speaker 2>to the potential ridicule. But they do that intentionally. If

284
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 2>if just think of it, remember when there was when

285
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:30.960
<v Speaker 2>when there would be one kid in the class that

286
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.679
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want to do the pledge of allegiance, and you'd say, well,

287
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.679
<v Speaker 2>allow the kid to, you know, leave the classroom. All

288
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.279
<v Speaker 2>count do that, because then the child would be subjected

289
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 2>to harassment by their friends. They got the system rigged,

290
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:44.919
<v Speaker 2>and they got the system rigged.

291
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:49.360
<v Speaker 5>And also they think they should rule over us.

292
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 2>They don't care what because they're smarter. They smarter than you,

293
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 2>and they're smarter than me. That's why they think that.

294
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:01.600
<v Speaker 2>And and it also they're able to virtue signal. And well,

295
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.039
<v Speaker 2>we're so progressive. We want our children to know about

296
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:08.360
<v Speaker 2>sex toys. And that's that's how progressive we are, aren't

297
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:11.399
<v Speaker 2>we wonderful? We're just letting our children know sex toys.

298
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.039
<v Speaker 2>You know. Uh, we're gonna have them do Shakespeare in

299
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:19.120
<v Speaker 2>the sixth grade and calculus, and we're gonna do you know,

300
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 2>some some seminars on sex toys. We're gonna bring sex

301
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:24.679
<v Speaker 2>toys in and and teach teach sex toys to the

302
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>fourth and fifth graders too, so they'll be ready to

303
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.840
<v Speaker 2>deal with sex toys in the sixth grade. These people

304
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:33.600
<v Speaker 2>are insane ed and they're running the school systems.

305
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:36.799
<v Speaker 5>But they think they are our masters, and they don't

306
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:39.120
<v Speaker 5>care what we think. And unless they get fired or

307
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.960
<v Speaker 5>get don't get re elected, they don't care what we think.

308
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.559
<v Speaker 2>You got it, You got it, and I love your calls, man,

309
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.000
<v Speaker 2>you know that. Okay, thank you so much. I think

310
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.919
<v Speaker 2>so similarly. Thank you very much. All Right, I got

311
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:51.559
<v Speaker 2>Lola back.

312
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:51.919
<v Speaker 3>Lola.

313
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.679
<v Speaker 2>We were looking for you. You weren't there, but your

314
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:54.600
<v Speaker 2>back Go ahead, Lola.

315
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 4>I was. There was a glitch in the phone. So

316
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm over here in California. And you've said it more

317
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:05.240
<v Speaker 4>than once. What happens in California ends up happening over there.

318
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:10.600
<v Speaker 4>So in the school systems here, they are harboring the

319
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:17.080
<v Speaker 4>children that want to transition and not telling the parents.

320
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.759
<v Speaker 4>So you think they'll survey, ah, that this is what's

321
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.279
<v Speaker 4>going on. If a kid thinks he's a girl, they

322
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:31.360
<v Speaker 4>don't tell the parents. Hey, your kids questioning their sexuality

323
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 4>or their gender gender? Okay, because that's where it starts.

324
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.440
<v Speaker 4>And I and I do personally have empathy for people

325
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 4>that are blond in the wrong body because the chromosome

326
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.559
<v Speaker 4>wash or the hormonal wash you can cross at that point.

327
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>At that point, the parents should be brought in. If

328
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 2>the school wants to be peripherally involved, that's great counseling.

329
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, it has to be like a holistic approach, Okay,

330
00:16:57.840 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>but it's not.

331
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:05.400
<v Speaker 4>The parents of in the dock here. So I would say,

332
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.799
<v Speaker 4>you want to so you have to stand for something.

333
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.240
<v Speaker 4>Are you going to fall for nothing so.

334
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.119
<v Speaker 2>You fall for everything? Actually that.

335
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:20.319
<v Speaker 4>I'm so wound up with everything. So this is my suggestion.

336
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 4>Go through some standouts on a public sidewalk and just

337
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.640
<v Speaker 4>keep moving and you can say your peace and start

338
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:33.680
<v Speaker 4>exposing these people that do not have the best interest

339
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:38.200
<v Speaker 4>in your children. I don't have children, and I'm concerned

340
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.119
<v Speaker 4>because I'm like, what is going on? Every time I

341
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:48.200
<v Speaker 4>turn around, I see wrong things happening. Corruption, Corruption is

342
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.400
<v Speaker 4>alive and well and it's coming out. And I don't

343
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.119
<v Speaker 4>want to, you know, Miranda off the road here, but

344
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.640
<v Speaker 4>astrology and the planets have a lot to do with

345
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 4>what please don't.

346
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah quite enough. Well, I'm sorry that I missed it before,

347
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:09.599
<v Speaker 2>but I'm at ten thirty and I got to take

348
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:09.920
<v Speaker 2>the news.

00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:36.000
<v Speaker 2>don't want to beat the dead horse. I've said all

357
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.160
<v Speaker 2>I won't need to say about this. We're going to

358
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.640
<v Speaker 2>talk about the trip by the Maryland Senator down to

359

00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.599
<v Speaker 2>want to get your reaction to what he did and

<v Speaker 2>what he had to say. And we will switch topics
