Not a kindergarten TA.

When school ended last year I decided to take the summer to decide if I wanted to return.

I decided not to about midway through last month.

I contacted my school the other day (the first day they were back in the office) to let them know, and became aware that they had been inundated with hate mail and threatening phone calls. Some making defamatory allegations and others threatening to kill me on school grounds.

It was made clear to me that THEY would not ask me to resign because of these tactics and that they found them unconscionable.

However since I had already decided to resign, and have a number of other projects I am working on that will prevent me from making the time to spend in the classroom, I said thank you but I am still putting in my resignation.

Don't worry about me financially I am just fine, and have not received a paycheck from the school district in over two months anyhow.

The smears against me concerning children were never going to take hold up here in Alaska because of my multiple background checks and long career working with children in gymnasiums, camps, and various schools.

I think what is truly frightening is how ready some people are to believe that just because you are a male who works with kids you must be a pervert. I had believed that kind of thinking went out with the idea that women should be barefoot and pregnant, and men should wait outside the delivery room of hospitals, cigar at the ready.

The truth is that I have never even been accused of anything inappropriate with a child in my classroom, camp, or home. It has simply never happened.

If it had, believe me I would never have been allowed in a classroom in the ASD.

Now as for the post that began it all.

Yes I stand by every single word of it. Believe me if it had been wholly inaccurate you would NEVER have witnessed such a response by the Palin team and their minions.

When I posted it I wanted it to cause a controversy, which it has, in spades.

I even anticipated losing my anonymity. That was a gamble I was willing to take.

Currently the whole world is watching this little Alaska blog. I have several new sources interested in talking to me, and media people who have my back and are waiting breathlessly for the next chapter.

That could not have happened without the clumsy cooperation of Meg Stapleton, Thomas Van Flein, and the crazies that support Sarah. They, simply put, lost their shit.

I told everybody to be patient and the proof would come. The smart ones listened and the others overreacted. Look in the mirror, which one are you?

The smears will continue against me for the next few days. At this point it kind of has a life of its own. But the media watchdogs are now paying very close attention to WHO might be crossing the line and I have it on good authority, an anonymous source if you will, that there may be a legal fall out for those who continue to propagate these lies.

Thank you for visiting.

Namaste

(By the way for those of you who are confused by the title of my blog. It is a parody of the "Moral Majority" an organization that I despised and blamed for saddling us with George W. Bush. I figured that most people would have little trouble figuring it out, but many of my more recent visitors seem to be a little on the slow side.)

Update: A fellow blogger wanted to add his opinion on this controversy.
