Vegan teacher legal battle cost school over $78,000 K West June 29, 2008 Fox River Grove, IL – Dave Warwak, the tenured middle school teacher in Illinois who was fired last fall for incorporating veganism in his art lessons, is costing his former school district a great deal more than dinnertime anguish.

Milk Might Transmit Mad Cow Disease

The brain loses control and the animal ultimately dies. Prion proteins are believed to cause the disease. A mad cow’s milk may contain these prion proteins and the disease might be transmitted from the mad cow to humans who happen to drink its milk, according to a new study. It has been proved by earlier studies that body fluids

FRG SD 3 Served Recalled Beef

After attempting to teach the evils of meat to your children, there was a 143 million pound recall that was TOO LATE for your kids in this school system.

I was fired for trying to warn the kids and if just one of them gets Crutxfeld-Jacob disease which is the human form of mad cow disease, who are we to blame?

Fox River Grove SD 3 Fed Children Beef from Westland

384 lbs of meat from Westland was made into taco meat and fed to the children at Fox River Grove Middle School in April and May of 2007.

Of course he will down play the risk - don't believe it! Although meat has been recalled, the children may have already been infected with a Prion particle from an infected animal.

Be careful kids. They hide it in the nacho taco meat! Recalled meat is piling up in at least seven Michigan school districts. Grand Rapids Public Schools must throw out 10 tons of hamburger, while the Ann Arbor Public Schools has about 200 pounds of the beef. The Detroit Public Schools system got a shipment of 150 cases of frozen chili and taco meat, but officials say none of it was eaten. Some of the hamburger being recalled already was served to students in Portage Public Schools. "I

“This is not just about diet. Don't believe everything you see. The world is an illusion. Wake up. There are many things all around us made from animals that we never notice. We're so disconnected; we don't even notice this right in front of our face three times a day. When we open our circle of compassion to all, we grow as a people and our treatment of each other and others improves. It really is about peace, love, and compassion for all"

"Fox River Grove Middle School is standing education on its head when it cracks down on instructors who teach our kids about kindness and good health," says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. "Mr. Warwak is exposing the meat industry's dirty secrets, and his students have every right to know the truth behind their food choices."

Man will not hurt a mosquito, compassionate yes, but so very different and strange in Acme in the year 2007 BC. Administrators so fearful of change, and so intolerant of those with different views, that they act irrationally in response to fear. Here, administrators call the police to escort me off school grounds, after the Acme Neanderthals had their way with me.

You will find it feels wonderful not participating in the meat-eating world's murderous secrets. Vegans have nothing to hide and everything to gain by changing the World now. Don't believe their lies. They say, "We are not ready yet. Maybe in a hundred years". Again, do not believe their lies. We will never be ready and it is now or never.


Just like Abe, only one better - I feel good when I do good. I feel bad when I am silent. Silence is complicity. Don't you wish someone let you know the truth when you were young? At least to know they have a choice? I would have wanted that. It took me 43 years of trusting the ones I loved - the world. Some people live and die with never knowing. The World hides it, just like the people we love lied to us about Santa. Christmas and the World was never the same - seemed cold and heartless - until we found the truth and went Vegan.

Give the gift of Truth, this and every year!



“How many more school shootings until we wake-up? Humane Education coupled with a vegan school lunch program will end school shootings. History cares not of pride, nor, conformists, only to a gasp at how primitive they must have been; whereas, we always remember those who are able to change with great reverence, for they put aside pride and refused to conform to evil” Warwak

Oct 12 2007 Williams Bay WI - Dave Warwak received a strong warning today from his hometown police. The warning came in response to complaints from parents and teachers who were in attendance at the town's annual homecoming parade.
Accompanied by his dog, Warwak allegedly entered the parade and passed out small cards to children.

Police stopped Warwak, escorted him home and instructed him to “stay away from the town’s children”.

At particular issue with police was Warwak telling children, Santa Claus is not real.

The card’s front reads:
Remember the Santa Claus lie?
One lie is so bad, some people prefer to keep it hidden
So hidden, some never find out!
Do you want to live a lie?

The back reads:
Go to your favorite search engine.
Look-up “Factory Farming” Look-up “Vegan”
“Naming a rock a banana does not make it food”

A teacher of ten years in Illinois, Warwak was recently fired for his vegan views. Warwak filed an appeal in response to his termination. No date has been set.

America's Fast Food Messiah Is Disgusting! Load up the car anyways, ...

Hereditary ignorance is a silent falsehood that is now our reality. “Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence.” [1] It is this idea that makes me yell from my rooftop, “Factory Farming, Vegan, and Humane Education!” No one seems to be listening. At this point, I have no choice, but to shock people visually, for, we really do believe what we see. Believing…

I can't wait for the day when my path turns toward the many pleasant goals I have set for myself to enjoy. I'm still encountering 'beginnings' and folks that only 'might' like to get more involved. One such turn almost began last week, when a vegetarian approached me to see if I'd be interested in talking about the BUEC.

I hope you're finding your 2008 path a lot more recognizable, a lot more meaningful and a lot more productive.

Peace.
