The above song Every Breath You Take, performed by the Police, is dedicated to the teachers of Godwin Middle School.
I certainly don’t mean to be glib. I know that those teachers are going to work every day looking over their shoulder after the threats that were made to them, simply because they voiced their opinion and concern.
Godwin teachers, you probably have the safest job in Prince William County, right at this moment. The eyes of the county, and probably the state, are on you. The people of Prince William County have all your backs!!!
We are angry that our teachers have been threatened. All of us! Republicans, Democrats, Independents and those of us who could care less about politics.
As a former teacher, I promise you that if I get wind of one iota of retribution to any of you, I own a blog and I will light up someone’s name in lights right here. Yesterday I got nearly 2000 hits. That’s a lot for this blog. I can and will do that again. My paycheck no longer comes from Prince William County and I owe no one anything. In fact, I even know where a few skeletons are buried.
I don’t make threats. I make promises. Don’t threaten our teachers!
You all have a restful weekend, go back in on Monday and teach those kids. May the force be with you!
If you want to speak on my blog, I guarantee your anonymity. Use a fake name. I have your back. Make up a fake email. I have your back. The first comment needs to be approved by me. (settings, you know) After that, you are home free.
Keep doing what you are doing.
Love, Moon
Note to the power-drunk PWC schoolboard member with a personal agenda: Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel…and digital ink is next to free!
Steve, I should have given you credit for “ink by the barrel.” I believe that one originated with you. I use it a lot and have never given you proper credit.
Wish I had originated the quote, but it was actually known as ” Greener ‘ s law” Greener was an advisor to Gerald Ford.
I think you should get local credit then. I first heard it from you and if you knew how many times I had quoted you….
I wonder if Miss Peak, 6th grader, is going to be watched also. She was pretty direct and blunt. That young lady is going places. Talk about born leadership.
