LTISD Info

Yes, the LTISD is being sued for thier violation of parent’s civil rights.

Imagine that, the LTISD violating a parent’s civil rights?!

I guess that when they do the suing, that’s OK, but when they are getting sued, they cry “persecution!”

But hey, if you don’t think you have a case, go out and try to spin a good story. The district is good at that.

It would seem that the LTISD implements the Raptor system in a discriminatory manner.

Just ask yourself, how many times have you seen parents in the hall ways who were not wearing a Raptor sticker?

Why did the school insist that these parents be scanned and not “every” parent?

Why isn’t this system being implemented uniformly in all of the district’s schools?

Well … It would appear that these parents just might have a case.

Security systems are only as effective as they are consistently and uniformly implemented. Discriminatory and piecemeal application of a system with questionable returns is a hallmark of the LTISD.

The LTISD Minister of Disinformation, Marco Alvarado spun a press release saying: “Lake Travis ISD lauds community support for use of Raptor visitor management system.”

Marco and his press releases remind me of the infamous Iraqi Information Minister Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf (aka Baghdad Bob).

“Baghdad Bob” made ludicrous statements such as:

“I have detailed information about the situation…which completely proves that what they allege are illusions . . . They lie every day.”

I really loved when “Baghdad Bob” said:

“Lying is forbidden in Iraq. President Saddam Hussein will tolerate nothing but truthfulness as he is a man of great honor and integrity. Everyone is encouraged to speak freely of the truths evidenced in their eyes and hearts.”

I could only imagine the LTISD Disinformation Minister Marco Alvarado (aka: “Lake Travis Louie“) saying:

“Lying is forbidden in the LTISD. His Superintendency Rocky Kirk will tolerate nothing but truthfulness as he is a man of great honor and integrity. Everyone is encouraged to speak freely of the truths evidenced in their eyes and hearts.”

We still need to answer the question, just “who supports the district” in this law suit?

I asked for any proof that could be used to support their audacious claim about just how much “community” was mobilized in their support. All they could give me was two emails they received in support against those who persecute the poor ole LTISD.^TPIA

Funny, but I don’t think two emails constitute community support. Of course we need “written proof” since the LTISD has been known to be confused by verifiable facts and in this case, “community support” seems to be a figment of their imagination. Once again, not surprising.

I did find two comments supporting the district on the Lake Travis View web site and one comment opposing the districts position.

One of the district’s supporters, wrote in the comments section of the article in the Lake Travis View:

“Enter my name into the DOJ site- and you’ll see I’m a registered sex offender living in New Jersey. And let’s hope I’m not coming from Nevada, because their site is down.”

-Lake Travis View, comment by Richard Kerr, December 4, 2008.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of databases such as the Raptor system. It would seem that errors such as that described by Mr. Kerr would prevent him from endorsing the use of such a system.

Next, says:

“One needs to worry LESS about their identity being stolen and MORE about protecting ALL CHILDREN! Stop the INSANITY!”

-Lake Travis View, comment by Melissa Leger, December 4, 2008.

Does Melissa know about all of the district’s privacy violations, including one by Susan Tolles, President of the LTISD Board of Trustees? I would assume that Ms. Leger is unaware of the past history of the LTISD regarding this matter or she might not write what she did.

I could only guess that Lake Travis Louie will be out to discredit the dissenter’s comments with another great quote from “Baghdad Bob:”

“Just look carefully, I only want you to look carefully. Do not repeat the lies of liars. Do not become like them. Once again, I blame al-Jazeera before it ascertains what takes place. Please, make sure of what you say and do not play such a role.”

Reminds me of Heidi Gudelman, Principal of Lake Pointe Elementary School, who under oath  said: “it was not true in reality.”
