Valerie Wade endorses Jaka, Lilly, Chunka

Former VUSD school board member and prominent local Republican, Valerie Wade was able to get a PRO-public education letter published in the NCTimes today. I wonder how many times she had to call to get the NCTimes to publish her letter. It has been extremely tough for PRO public education letters to get past the NCTimes censor but Valerie did it! Good job, Valerie Wade! Our newest hero in the PRO-Public education Hall of Fame.

Valerie strongly endorsed Elizabeth Jaka and Angela Chunka for VUSD School Board. Her opinion of the ANTI-education and anti-social Guffanti is the same as everyone who has to work with him--not good. See her letter to the editor on line here:

Voters have a clear choice for Vista schools

As a former Vista Unified Trustee, I strongly recommend Elizabeth Jaka and Angela Chunka for Vista Unified School District Board. I have known both for many years. They are extremely knowledgeable, compassionate individuals determined to educate all students to their capacity instead of funding and focusing on a select few.

They show consistent respect for parents, teachers and those who may disagree with them. They are fiscal conservatives who will finally get the taxpayer-mandated new high school opened. They have served on many VUSD district-parent committees. They will use that experience and common sense in selecting academic programs. They have already demonstrated they are willing to personally invest long hours on your children's behalf.

Mr. Guffanti has been very consistent over his years on the school board that he is there for his own political agendas (like his recent demand that the board endorse Prop. 8). He seems suspicious of parents and teachers (like his recent refusal to attend a PTA forum).

You, the voter, have a clear choice: two informed and dedicated women, Mrs. Jaka and Mrs/ Chunka, or a self-serving Mr. Guffanti. Vote for Elizabeth Jaka and Angela Chunka for your children's sake!

Connections between VUSD ANTI education candidates and Grossmont UHSD ANTI candidates

Speaking of ANTI-education board members, Jim Kelly of Grossmont Union High School located in east San Diego County, is making outrageous statements and lying about sitting board members in GUHSD in order to get more ANTI-education members elected to the Grossmont board.

Jim Kelly is a known political ally and associate of Guffanti and Gibson, the two ANTI-education members of our board. He is following the ANTI candidate playbook that we have seen here in Vista. Read Kelly's lies here: http://www.10news.com/news/17783553/detail.html

Guffanti trotted out similar lies during a KOCT interview a year ago when he accused the VUSD teachers of protecting child molesters. Read what the liar Guffanti said here:

ANTI education folks like Guffanti and Kelly get elected by scaring voters with outrageous, emotional falsehoods about schools and teachers. The good folks in the education community are often too tired from working long hours and too nice to think that anyone would believe liars like Guffanti and Kelly. Sadly more often than not the fear and smear campaigns of deception work. No matter how tired we are or how busy, we must fight them now or suffer for years. We have only four days to stop the ANTI's from taking control of our board.

You may have read on this blog that Grossmont is the other district that the ANTI folks have been targeting in our county for the last twenty years. Why they go after Grossmont and VUSD every two years no one knows. But there is a direct link of some kind. The two groups of ANTI's known to associate with each other.

Gary Cass, former ANTI member of the Grossmont School Board, has moved to Vista and founded something called the Christian Anti-Defamation League with articles on its home page--"Obama disavows Christianity" Read his hate site here: http://www.christianadc.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=23063
or his web page here:
http://garycass.org/
Gary Cass knows, respects, and politically supports both Jim Gibson and Stephen Guffanti. (confirmed by one source).

If the ANTI's are able to seize a majority on our VUSD board, look for Gary Cass and other hate mongers to have a larger role in running our district and creating political chaos by advocating for the VUSD board to make fringe political agendas the number one priority in VUSD rather than the education of our children.

Call the VTA today 760-758-2690 and volunteer to help with the last walk and drop--precinct walk is being done on an individual basis. There will be no for organized precinct walk tomorrow.)
