PAY ATTENTION OC

The Orange County Board of Education is holding an Expert Panel on School Reopening on June 24th. This panel is to provide guidance and recommendations to OC School Districts on the safe and effective reopening of our public schools.

Thread about panel:

Take a minute to read the Special Meeting Agenda which lists the First Principles for the panel which include social distancing is unacceptable for children, masks are not based on science and could be potentially harmful, and encouraging parents to leave districts if unhappy.

There are 11 panelists and 1 moderator for the event. I’m attaching a link to the agenda where you can see all the panelists and their bios they’ve attached:

There are 5 medical doctors (besides Dr Chau)-Dr.Abelowitz, Dr. Gold, Dr. Eilbert, Dr. Fitzgibbon & Dr. McDonald.

ALL FIVE DOCTORS signed a letter that the associated press said was"released as the Trump campaign has been actively soliciting the support of pro-Trump physicians"

In addition to the 5 doctors on the panel, Dr. Jeff Barke also signed the letter. As a reminder, Dr Barke's wife Mari Barke is on the Orange County Board of Education.

The letter was spearheaded by Dr. Simone Gold, also on the panel. https://www.scribd.com/document/462469213/Doctor-Letter

Dr. Chau (Director OC Health Agency) & Don Wagner (OC Supervisor) are on the panel. Many suggest that Wagner is very influential on decisions happening at the health department and believe he may be actively working with anti-mask protesters and helped push Dr Quick to resign.

Also on the panel is Sherry Kropp,Los Alamitos Superintendent who worked w/ Dr Barke. Please review previous posts regarding the corruption at that district. Kropp also appointed Jeff Barke to the Measure G oversight committee when he lost re-election to the School Board in 2018.

Will Swaim is the public forum moderator who seems to have a relationship with the Barke family. Reposting Dr Barke's controversial video and is also involved in a lawsuit with Dr. Barke regarding state law that limits public employers' anti-union talk.

Dr. Steven Abelowitz, who signed the letter previously mentioned, has posted comments on social media doubting Dr Fauci as an expert and suggesting the flu is significantly more dangerous to children and asks "should we now be closing all our schools every flu season?"

Dr Gold who wrote the letter to Trump, also appeared on conservative talk radio advocating for the use of hydroxychloroquine, is involved w/Tea Party Patriot Videos where conservative doctors give their "second opinion". Dr. McDonald (on the panel) also made a video.

Dr Jeff Barke also made an appearance on the Tea Partu videos, where he discussed the harms of masks and social distancing for children.

Dr. Eilbert has hosted campaign events for local republican politicians including Greg Raths. Larry Sand has also reposted Dr. Barke's controversial video, Michael Shires is a republican party donor, and at least 3 panelists refer to COVID19 as the Wuhan Virus in their bios.

Many links between Mari Barke, Orange County Board of Education and wife to Dr. Jeff Barke, and the Lincoln Club of Orange County (very long history influential conservative political group) and also panelists.

Lincoln Club will be a large discussion soon.

This panel was handpicked and stacked with conservative community members who will be guiding our Orange County school districts on how to reopen.

Angry? You should be!

You can submit a comment to [email protected] by 4pm on June 23rd that will be read during the meeting.

Hey @VoiceofOC @ocregister ,

Anyone going to report on this? Or should residents continue to be left in the dark as our corrupt politicians push their political opinions onto our children with their one sided “panel of experts”.

Doctors are being PAID by pro-Trump donors to push states to reopen!

Gold (OCBE panelist) said “no scientific basis that the average American should be concerned about” Covid-19 – something that downplays all medical evidence about the pandemic’s risks. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/01/save-our-country-coalition-states-reopen
