What would Madison or John Adams do in this situation? Both men were staunch defenders of constitutional principles and deeply committed to safeguarding the Republic from instability or tyranny. Wouldn’t they prioritize action over complacency when faced with leadership incapable of fulfilling its constitutional duties?

Madison, the architect of our Constitution, crafted mechanisms like checks and balances and amendments to address crises within governance. Do you think he would hesitate to invoke the tools he designed to preserve the integrity of the Republic? Or would he remind us that the Constitution itself is not the problem—it’s the failure to act on its principles that invites crisis?

John Adams, a man who believed in the rule of law over the rule of men, might ask: If leadership is demonstrably unfit, is it not our duty as a nation of laws to respond? Would he argue that avoiding difficult decisions for the sake of appearances is the greater threat to the Republic?

What’s more dangerous—addressing a crisis head-on through constitutional means, or allowing incapacity and uncertainty to persist? Would they view inaction as a betrayal of their sacrifices to create a system designed to endure even the most challenging times?

Subject: Addressing Concerns About TRAILS SEL Program: A Constitutional and Parental Rights Perspective

The introduction of the TRAILS Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program in Pueblo School District 70, funded by a $700,000 “gift,” raises significant constitutional and parental rights concerns. As a paralegal and advocate for decentralized, transparent governance, I believe the solution lies in strengthening accountability and protecting parental authority in education. Here’s how we address these concerns effectively:

Key Issues and Proposed Solutions

1. Parental Rights and Oversight
Issue: Links to external resources like the Trevor Project and Trans Lifeline bypass parental consent and impose questionable content without transparency. Families report no true opt-out options, forcing exposure to material that conflicts with their values.
Solution:
• Mandatory Parental Review: Require that all external resources linked to any educational program are disclosed, reviewed, and approved by parents before implementation.
• True Opt-Out Options: Allow families to opt their children out of such programs without academic penalty, ensuring parents retain their constitutional role as the primary moral educators of their children.
2. Transparency in Implementation
Issue: The program was reportedly implemented for 2–3 weeks without Board of Education approval, undermining trust and due process.
Solution:
• Full Curriculum Disclosure: Mandate that all SEL materials are made available online for public review before being adopted or implemented.
• Board Accountability: Require school boards to hold public hearings on grants and program funding, ensuring transparency and accountability in decision-making.
3. Focus on Academics Over Ideology
Issue: SEL programs often shift the focus from core academics to mental health and values-based initiatives that may lack proven outcomes.
Solution:
• Decentralized Curriculum Development: Shift SEL programs to locally developed initiatives, guided by educators and parents, that focus on strengthening core academics alongside appropriate, community-approved mental health resources.
• Prioritize Evidence-Based Practices: Only adopt SEL programs with measurable, proven benefits, and ensure their primary goal is to enhance learning outcomes, not ideology.
4. Decentralized Control in Education
Issue: The centralization of education systems leads to uniformity and detachment from local community values, as seen with the Prussian school model’s heavy top-down structure.
Solution:
• Local Autonomy in Schools: Advocate for decentralizing educational control by empowering school boards and local educators to make decisions aligned with community needs, independent of state and federal mandates.
• Parental Committees: Form parent oversight committees to partner with school boards in vetting programs and grants, ensuring alignment with local values.

Call to Action

The TRAILS SEL program demonstrates a clear need to return to a decentralized, parent-led approach to education. By prioritizing transparency, respecting parental rights, and focusing on academic excellence, we can build a model that serves our children and communities without compromising trust or values.

I encourage parents, educators, and community leaders to:
1. Attend school board meetings and demand clarity on curriculum funding and implementation.
2. Advocate for constitutional protections of parental rights in education.
3. Collaborate with local leaders to develop SEL programs that reflect community values and academic priorities.

Education is meant to empower, not indoctrinate. Let’s ensure it remains a tool for learning, growth, and freedom.

Respectfully,

Constitutional Action Is Necessary: Why Biden Must Be Removed Before January

As citizens committed to upholding the Constitution and ensuring competent leadership, we must address a growing concern that President Joe Biden is incapacitated and unable to fulfill the duties of his office effectively. Compounding this issue is the question of Vice President Kamala Harris’s qualifications and allegiance to lead, leaving the nation vulnerable during a critical period. It is imperative for Congress and the executive branch to act decisively and constitutionally to safeguard the integrity of the presidency and ensure a stable transition of power.

Incapacity in Leadership: A Constitutional Crisis

The Constitution explicitly requires that the president “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed” (Article II, Section 3). However, President Biden’s recent public behavior raises legitimate concerns about his ability to discharge this responsibility. Numerous instances of confusion, missteps, and apparent cognitive decline demonstrate an inability to manage the executive branch effectively.

The 25th Amendment, Section 4, exists precisely for such situations. It allows the Cabinet and Congress to declare a president incapacitated when evidence suggests they can no longer fulfill their constitutional obligations. President Biden’s inability to project consistent leadership or make sound decisions jeopardizes national security, economic stability, and public trust in the presidency.

A Question of Allegiance: Vice President Harris

While Vice President Kamala Harris stands next in the line of succession, concerns about her qualifications and loyalty to the Constitution merit serious consideration. Allegiance to the United States is not solely a legal matter but a demonstrated commitment to uphold its principles and prioritize the interests of the nation.

Public statements and policy stances by Harris indicate a potential prioritization of globalist or ideological agendas over the constitutional framework of the United States. This raises legitimate questions about her fitness to assume the presidency in such a pivotal moment. In a time when the nation requires clear, unwavering leadership, Harris’s record and actions invite skepticism about her ability to lead without divided loyalties.

The Role of Congress and Constitutional Action

Congress must act swiftly and decisively to address these pressing concerns. The 25th Amendment, combined with constitutional principles of governance, provides a clear pathway for ensuring stability during moments of uncertainty. The following actions are essential:
1. Investigate and Substantiate Incapacity: Congress and the Cabinet must establish an investigative committee to assess President Biden’s fitness for office. The findings should be transparent and bipartisan, ensuring public trust in the process.
2. Address Succession Concerns: Kamala Harris’s qualifications and allegiances must be evaluated to determine her fitness to assume the presidency, ensuring there are no conflicts of interest or constitutional violations.
3. Ensure Stability Through Transition: If both Biden and Harris are deemed unfit, the Constitution provides for a line of succession. In this unique scenario, with President-elect Donald Trump poised to take office on January 20, the most logical and stabilizing solution is to accelerate the transition to President-elect Trump, allowing for immediate and competent leadership.

A Call to Action: Why Trump Must Lead Now

The Constitution is not merely a guide—it is the supreme law of the land designed to protect the Republic from moments of crisis. While the standard inauguration date of January 20th serves as a peaceful transition of power, extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary measures.

President-elect Trump has already been chosen by the people and the Electoral College to lead the nation. Allowing him to assume office before January 20th would prevent the current instability from deepening and restore confidence in the executive branch. This solution adheres to constitutional principles and provides the leadership needed to address ongoing challenges, from national security threats to economic recovery.

Inaction in this moment would allow further erosion of public trust and risk grave consequences for the future of our nation. Congress, the Cabinet, and all constitutional authorities must act now to ensure that the United States has the capable and stable leadership it deserves. The stakes are too high to wait.

State Representative Meg Froelich we have a decline in engagement since you took office—30,907 individuals voted since 2019.

Robyn Gilleran when politicians don’t open up their profiles for public comment, they are abridging speech. Unconstitutional in my opinion.
