Patrick Wahl has upped his video series from tackling the lawsuit he has against the Brandywine School District to attacking their referendum in his latest video. Whether you agree with him or not, you can definitely say he has done his research!
You run for the local school board and you miss stuff like this! Wow!
I am a proud parent of a son with Tourette's Syndrome and several other co-morbidities. I write on this blog to educate other parents so they know a bit more about not only special education, but all the really bad things that are happening with public schools in Delaware and the USA. We are all in this together, and if our children aren't able to advocate for themselves it's up to us parents! We need to stop letting companies run our schools, and demand our children get a proper education. Our Departments of Education in our states have become weak with fear from the bullying US DOE, and we need to take back our schools!

Kevin, I am a big fan of your blog, but I am disappointed you shared this. Parents, students, concerned community members, and BSD employees like me are working so hard to get this much needed referendum passed, and now we are facing the additional battle of having to correct the skewed and inaccurate information in this video. I sat next to Patrick Wahl lat night at the final town hall meeting BSD held to inform the public about the referendum. Even though I vehemently disagree with him on this and, frankly, almost every other political issue, he is a friend and I won’t distance myself from him as a person. Would you please also post BSD’s response to Mr. Wahl’s claims for the sake of balance? I can give you a link.
It is very sad that this video is almost entirely inaccurate and misleading. I feel bad for what happened with his son, the school was wrong, but that should not impact the referendum. Plus this guy is flat out lying in some instances. And referencing DAP is outrageous.
He says something like, “It’s true — the Brandywine School District takes all comers. So do other districts. The Christina School District has an entire school for the deaf and another school for the autistic. Brandywine has relatively few students with special challenges like these.”
Clearly he does not realize that while these programs reside in CSD they are STATEwide programs. So the Brandywine School District children are likely going to this Statewide Program.
This makes me so sad. Referendums are hard enough to get passed without someone who is upset choosing to lash out with some pretty outlandish lies.
Good for you Patrick!!! They should not be allowed to have another vote, for a year! Same thing in the Christina SD, why waste the time of the voters, to have to keep coming out, it’s not fair. VOTE NO BRANDYWINE!
Brandywine School District and their undocumented supporters need to play by the rules. Unregistered PACs, school resources being used to solicit votes, and taxpayer paid employees being told, during working hours, to actively campaign for an election. Some of the same things Tom Gordon and Sherry Freebery got indicted for doing.
