Read MoreThe Truth in Education Act
1. In order to safeguard parents and students, teachers and school administration personnel will be subject to progressive disciplinary action, up to and including discharge, for offering false information related to:
· Course titles and content
· Deliberate misrepresentation and mischaracterization of classes
· Intentional education of unrelated curriculum through ideological beliefs
2. Public schools and universities will be required to establish procedures and protocols (including progressive disciplinary measures and procedures, complaint resolution, training, and compliance reporting) for truthful standards of course representation and neutral delivery. Failure to establish the procedures and protocols could result in the forfeiture of federal and state funding.
3. Parents and students have a “Right to Know” the vantage point and origin of educational instruction, before they sign up for classes. Therefore, public school teachers, university professors, and school administrators will be required to sign a pledge to take neutral ideological positions in their respective roles. Educational facilities will be required to train those who encounter students in appropriate styles of communication that allow the students to ponder the world while having their personal beliefs respected. Educators found to be in violation of this Act will be subject to progressive disciplinary action. If they proceed to indoctrinate students they will be dismissed. Administrators found to be either encouraging classroom indoctrination or protecting teachers who are attempting to indoctrinate students will also be dismissed.
4. When reporting classroom incidents, students, teachers, school administrators, and others involved in the classroom setting will be protected by the Whistle-Blower Protection Act of 1989. Government employees are prohibited from taking retaliatory action due to a reporting disclosure.
5. Nothing in this Act is designed to prevent an instructor from honestly answering a student’s direct question. That right has always been protected.
The United States of America needs to pass legislation holding our public schools and universities accountable for “truth-filled” identification of course content. I believe that we have one of the largest cases of “consumer fraud” going on in the history of the United States of America. We are allowing our public university professors the ability to misrepresent the underlying educational theme (intent) through improper naming conventions (course titles) and misrepresentation in the syllabi of course content.

Impeach Joe Biden
PROFORMA RECOMMENDATION
While time is of the essence; as soon as House parliamentary procedure allows in the 118th Congress; an adoption of a resolution to impeach is enumerated in this resolution forthwith, the following articles of impeachment; notwithstanding and with presumption in the affirmative that a Special Judiciary Investigatory Committee (ex parte) finds evidence to support said conclusions; a majority in the U.S. House voting to so move; the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, is thereby impeached.
118TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION H. RES. 1
RESOLUTION
Impeaching Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., President of the United States, for treason and high crimes and misdemeanors.
1 Resolved, That Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., President of the
2 United States, is impeached for treason and high crimes and
3 misdemeanors and that the following articles of impeachment be
4 exhibited to the United States Senate:
5 Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of
6 Representatives of the United States of America in the name of
7 itself and of the people of the United States of America, against
8 Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., President of the United States, in
9 maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for
10 treason and high crimes and misdemeanors.
11 ARTICLE I: AIDING AND ABETTING ILLEGAL SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITY
12 The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives ‘‘shall
13 have the sole Power of Impeachment’’ and that the President
14 ‘‘shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and
15 Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and
16 Misdemeanors’’. Further, section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the
17 Constitution prohibits any person who has ‘‘engaged in insurrection
18 or rebellion against’’ the United States from ‘‘hold[ing] any office . .
19 under the United States.” In his conduct while President of the
20 United States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully
21 to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the
22 best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of
23 the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take
24 care that the laws be faithfully executed— Joseph Robinette Biden
25 Jr. engaged in treason and high crimes and misdemeanors by
26 purposefully aiding and abetting illegal migrant activity at the
27 Southern Borders against the Government of the United States
28 leading to insurrection, lawlessness, propagating excessive health
29 risks from COVID-19, terrorist and cartel activity, and other risks
30 germane to the general welfare of the citizens of the United States
31 in that:
32 On January 20, 2021, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., President of
33 the United States, halted the “remain in Mexico” policy and
34 subsequently directed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro
35 Mayorkas to end the policy, formally known as the Migration
36 Protection Protocols. Mayorkas’ memo was issued on June 1,
37 2021, after a monthslong review by his office. This action,
38 combined with other Joe Biden public policy directives
39 circumventing immigration law (Temporary Protected Status), have
40 had devasting untold and negative impacts on the citizens of the
41 United States of America. This abuse of executive power is further
42 demonstrated with covert airlifts of illegal aliens to unspecified
43 locations. Joe Biden also has dramatically curtailed policies
44 for law enforcement agencies who are legally responsibility
45 to remove criminals and illegal aliens. It is being reported that as
46 many as 1.7 million illegal aliens have infiltrated our borders.
47 ARTICLE II: CIRCUMVENTION OF THE CONSTITUTION
48 President Biden authorized the CDC to extend the federal eviction
49 moratorium through March 31 right after his inauguration on
50 January 20. ... On August 26, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court struck
51 down the latest CDC extension of rent.
52 On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden authorized the
53 Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health
54 Administration (“OSHA”) to issue several rules related to vaccine
55 mandates. Critical to private employers with 100 or more
56 employees, the OSHA rule or “ETS” requires, in general, the
57 vaccination of employees or weekly testing of unvaccinated
58 workers, beginning by January 4, 2022 (a new deadline; the
59 previously announced deadline was December 8, 2021). The U.S.
60 Supreme Court blocked the Occupational Safety and Health
61 Administration's (OSHA's) emergency temporary standard requiring
62 businesses with at least 100 employees to ensure workers are
63 vaccinated against the coronavirus or wear masks and undergo
64 weekly COVID-19 testing.
65 ARTICLE III: Dereliction of Duty as Commander in Chief
66 Joe Biden’s hasty and poorly planned Afghanistan withdraw
67 resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. troops and wounded 18 others in
68 two suicide bombs. Countless others are unaccounted for and
69 presumed dead. Gross negligence and a rush to remove our troops
70 left both U.S. citizens and military personnel exposed and at risk. As
71 a result of the poor decision-making and negligent behavior,
72 President Joe Biden incapacitated himself in such a way that he
73 could not perform his fiduciary responsibilities to America citizens.
74 In all this, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. gravely endangered the
75 security of the United States and its institutions of Government. He
76 threatened the integrity of our Constitutional Republic, system of
77 laws, the health and security of the people of the United States,
78 and has usurped authority with excessive executive power from a
79 coequal branch of Government. He thereby betrayed his trust as
80 President, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
81 Wherefore, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., by such conduct, has
82 demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security,
83 democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and
84 has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance
85 and the rule of law. Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. thus warrants
86 impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to
87 hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United
88 States. Joe Biden is subverting our system of government.
89 The enclosed ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT are a true and honest testament to the concern that candidate for U.S. House in SC District 4 – Greenville and Spartanburg Counties, Mike LaPierre, has for the welfare of our Constitution, the citizens of the United States of America, and his children and grandchildren.
90 God bless the United States of America.
