Sweetwater district sued from Texas
Mr Hargrove-Called it out that they would attack you. Erupting took the bait, and others admit supporting Luzzaro. Reminds me of that game I played as a little kid, Mouse Trap. "Just turn the crank, and snap the plank, and boot the marble right down the chute, now watch it roll and hit the pole, and knock the ball in the rub-a-dub tub, which hits the man into the pan. The trap is set, here comes the net! Mouse trap, I guarantee, it's the craziest trap you'll ever see.". Erupting says "you would know why ----- and ----- were named and what they will be saying on the stand(if it really goes to court) You would have mentioned ------ as doing the investigation for the district and where it went from there. " Nice Erupting. You further implicated the defendants relationship with Luzzaro. It could be they're a source of Luzzaros. It could also be that another defendant that you didn't mention is feeding you and Luzzaro this info (the more likely possibility). Or both. Actually, all one would have to do is go to her twitter page and see a pic of one of the defendants on it. DbDriver-I never asked if you were around the situation. Just asked you if 3-4 hours was a long time to spend with an attorney to give a statement. That's like getting busted for possession of weed and instead stating that you didn't commit a robbery or burglary when the cops didn't ask you that question. Thanks. Another question. Debating on where to send my kids to middle school. Should I send them to Hi Tech Middle and wait on a list, or send them to Alpine? What do you think?— September 17, 2015 6:55 p.m.

So you're calling me Ms G and your pal JM is calling me a Mr? So what are you two saying? That im a Mux? That's bullying/harassment!— September 16, 2015 10:21 p.m.

I agree. Wouldn't be surprised if Bleisch's lawyers went after employees who went on record and provided false information during the investigation, spending hours with that attorney doing so. Isn't 3-4 hours a long time to spend with an attorney doing so?— September 16, 2015 9:15 p.m.

You couldn't find info in that article? But wrote opinion piece in all caps. Something in that article got that much of your attention, eh? When one writes in caps and uses explanation points, it usually demonstrates how sensitive they are about something....hold on JM....remember it's just my OPINION, not a fact, so I could be mistaken. Suing the reader for libel? Interesting angle there. Bringing this up cause I wouldn't be surprised if the defendants turn on each other in this case. Adding to dbdrivers point, it would be foreseeable for attorneys to take on this case for the defendants if some choose to go this route. And why don't I do as you do? Because it's so much fun! Ok, now for some serious somber points. Luzzaro may have reported mostly facts in the past. Perhaps she trusted her sources and believed she was reporting facts. My takes are about this story and stories involved with it, not her other stories about other district issues. Sometimes the people that are trusted burn their media sources though, whether it's intentional or unintentional. It's happened to a lot of highly respected news reporters in the national media. Secondly, two union bosses encouraged staff members to make accusations against Bleisch. Now they're getting sued for false allegations. The union hurt their own teachers and the teachers hard earned union dues went to the lawyers in the spring of 2014. Third, another post i see deferring from the story, like most of the others. So JM, why not do as I do. Contribute information to the story written by Hargrove. If you have nothing to hide, you don't! -Elevated to a new HIGH— September 16, 2015 5:30 p.m.

Eastlaker-Taking a step back eh? Interesting. Annie J-Uh yeaah.....like a judge will have any interest looking at this dribble, which has nothing to do with the case, at least what you're posting. I mean..cmon annie J. Wonder why none of those reader posters I named are posting anymore? It's because they're in the lawsuit and they are the defendants, which is what the judge will only be interested in. Shirley-Counter suit. Ooookaaay? Find a lawyer that will take on a counter suit pro bono after an investigation done by a credible law firm that ruled no disciplinary action be taken against Bleisch. So your saying a lawyer will believe that the law firm and Bleisch's attorney are not credible? I'd parlay a bet with that and the defendants posting on this article. Of course the bet would probably only be worth -5000, if not lower. The only reason the defendants have an attorney is because the lawsuit is against the district and the school district attorney has to represent them. He/She doesn't have a choice. It's their job. Also, why keep bringing up Ed Brand and the past? This has nothing to do with either. Mr Hargrove-Of course, these gadflies will criticize you and compare you unfavorably to Luzzaro because they are all on the same team. Luzzaro gets her ideas from the reader posters, then they praise her for it. Look at all of Luzzaros past articles. The same reader posters agree with each other and take turns giving each other thumbs up as well as praising Luzzaros greatness. They have the same talking points and yell at them loudly, especially if they disagree with you. Don't you dare disagree with them, or they'll call you corrupt and disgusting.— September 15, 2015 5:40 p.m.

Trolling. Looks like trolling was done by the defendants in their posts in the articles by Luzzaro below. It's all there. Again, another poster deferring from the allegations at hand. Getting distracted by me instead of the real issue. Good job. Eastlaker, there are pages of trolling by the defendants, probably 50-100 times more. A legal team can also look at you and your friends comments as desperation to defend your friends. Keep it up.— September 14, 2015 6:54 p.m.

Mr. Hargrove, my bad, apologize for the Ms. Nothing intentional. Moving on, Laughing at a lot of these posts, but what the heck, I'll respond to this foolishness to keep you guys stirring. JMBrickley-The facts are in the lawsuit. I'll elaborate on that a little later, but first, I thought I'd like to post something that you might like to read :) http://laprensa-sandiego.org/editorial-and-commen… You think the editor in La Presna is high also? Eruption-The investigation is over. Your points are irrelevant. If the respective lawyer thought the claims were valid, then the investigation would have revealed a different result. Perhaps it's because of the lack of facts of the people in the anti-Bleisch camp. It also might have a little to do with the dirt in some of their files, but that's just an opinion. AnnieJ-Competent judges could care less about opinions like mine. If fact, my source and good friend was a former African-American San Diego district attorney, Judges in general despise people in education who make decisions for their own personal political gain. That's what 2 of the main defendants have done in this case. And no, AnnieJ, I am not Bleisch Photo921-Would advise you to read the past articles It appears a lot of posters dodging the subject. Bleisch's lawyers took this case pro bono. A lawyer isn't going to take a case they don't think they can win. Obviously the defendants and their supporters aren't aware of the mounts of evidence that they have on this case. Bleisch was targeted by a hispanic politically motivated board member with help from a district office employee, who is also a defendant. It was retaliation for crashing the billingual ed program at Castle Middle and taking disciplinary action against her friend that was a counselor there. Bleisch was then targeted by teachers at Castle Middle for taking a social equity position at the school and not allowing practices like sorting kids into lower level classes to continue. After that, the board member got the union to wage a smear campaign against him when one of the defendants and the union president coordinated a meeting at Castle Middle, instigating teachers to submit a false letter of complaint. And yes, there are recordings of this meeting. The board member continued to make false allegations conducting secret illegal investigations, and leaking false information to Luzzaro. Again, the investigation by the district found no wrong doing. Posts on the reader and posts on the SEA facebook page from August 2013 to March 2014 about this issue are in the hands of the lawyers. The defendants will have to deal with all this. I understand that an attorney from the district will have to represent the defendants. Not one that would take this case on their own pro bono.— September 14, 2015 4:51 p.m.

I called out that this would happen a long long time ago. Not bad Ms. Hargrove, not bad at all. It's great to see an unbiased reporter without an agenda. Let me help you by supporting your story with some facts. To get more information, see the Star news and the UT articles over the last year and a half. They wrote excellent stories about this issue. First, let's play a little game. Connect the real life internet bullys who hide behind anonymous posts on the reader that are on the lawsuit. Ensenadamaria, wfted, knowthetruth, margaretmead/justateacher, doingtherightthing, blackwidow01/livetoknit01, and advocate/westsideworker. I did a long long time ago, and so has the attorney. Wait, it gets better, or is it worse. How about the facebook posts on the SEA page and on the Bring back Bleisch page. How about voicemails. Yep, it's all saved, and it's very ugly, implicating people on the suit as well as others who may be thrown into this. False allegations posted can even get anonymous posters sued, although they're not so anonymous now. More info. The judge on this case is a african-american woman. A close friend of mine who was a former District Attorney in San Diego has worked with her. Was told she despises people who work in education that make decisions for their own personal political gain. Also was told most african-american judges are the same way. Bottom line, most of the defendants are in deep deep crap. They made this mistake and got involved without realizing how the damning biased articles Luzzaro wrote over a year ago angered friends and family of those people she wrote about . Now, they need to take responsibility. Lastly, If Luzzaro gets subpoeneaded, she will have to give up her sources.— September 13, 2015 8:44 p.m.
