PHM School Board Has Parent Arrested Who Exposed PHM Breaking The Law

Editor’s Note:

I’ve updated the article to reflect that Andy Rutten was asked a question by Jerry Hawkins and not a ‘school board member.’

UPDATE:

Andy Rutten just confirmed to me that PHM has served him with a no trespass order. This means he can no longer attend any school function, including board meetings. Andy has a child in the PHM school district.

Real News Michiana has done it again.

We have a school district here called Penn Harris Madison (PHM). It was considered one of the best school districts in the state of Indiana prior to COVID.

A parent (Andy Rutten​) was arrested at the school board meeting last night for requesting to go over time to present how PHM wasn’t being honest about a proposed tax increase.

This just so happens to be the same parent who filed a complaint with the State of Indiana exposing how PHM was violating state law by using a Superintendent Advisory Council (SAC) to avoid the meeting being open and available to the public. PHM has been using the SAC to secretly promote CRT in the school district.

Members of the SAC are appointed by the superintendent and not elected by the people. PHM argued that since the SAC members weren’t elected, the public had no right to know what happened in the meetings. This same strategy is being used all over the country by school districts.

Indiana’s Public Access Counselor (PAC) ruled that the SAC did, in fact, violate Indiana state law and PHM was required to open them to the public this month. So far, PHM has refused to make the contents of the previous SAC meetings, held in secret, public.

Here’s the video of the arrest:

Yes, he refused to leave the podium after he was asked to. However, other people were allowed to go over time at this meeting and it is a common occurrence that people will go over a little during the PHM meetings.

Secondly, he was asked a question by Jerry Hawkins, the school board accountant. This took about 30-seconds of the parent’s 3 minute time limit and he should have been allowed to continue at least that much longer.

Many people feel that this was targeted because he’s the one who exposed the SAC was breaking the law and wouldn’t have been arrested if he were someone else.

 

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy Tried To Get President Trump To Resign

In newly release audio, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) that he had tried, and was going to try again, to get President Trump to resign during election overtime.

Rep. Liz Cheney is running the kangaroo court that is the January 6 Commission and has repeatedly been embarrassed by lies and falsified evidence.

Both McCarthy and Cheney are considered by the GOP’s conservative base to be part of the ‘swamp’ and have been for many years.

They were discussing the 25th Amendment resolution to strip Trump of his powers as President. McCarthy says that he thinks it will pass and his recommendation would be for Trump to resign.

McCarthy and Cheney both voted against the resolution, though it seems to have just been political pandering to their constituents while they worked behind the scenes.

National File also is reporting that Fox News and nationally syndicated radio host Sean Hannity was trying to get Trump to resign also, and that Vice President Pence was leading the charge to get the White House council to leave.

Hannity sent a text message to Mark Meadows on December 31, 2020 urging Trump to concede the election overtime period. Hannity wrote, “We can’t lose the entire WH counsels office. I do NOT see January 6 happening the way he is being told. After the 6 th. He should announce he will lead the nationwide effort to reform voting integrity. Go to Fl and watch Joe mess up daily. Stay engaged. When he speaks people will listen.” Hannity texted Meadows on January 5, 2021 with the message: “Pence pressure. WH counsel will leave.”

I can’t independently verify the Hannity text messages but National File is very good at this sort of reporting.
