marc bolan always said bad pulicity is better than no publicity, and in the spirit of bubblegum, i accept this fluff.
mr. coleman, if you want to SEE the documents, you may. if you want to get ANSWERS we will talk. we aren't AFRAID of honowitz, or the PUSD attorneys, or any of the honowitz puppets.
TEAR DOWN THE MACHINE

and if you need a picture of mr. ed that didn't come from the 90's, let me know. i've got some great ones
for all those unfamilar with this story: this family had an autistic second grade child whose symptoms were so severe that he required placement in a special needs classroom. SMES did not such a class for his grade level. Instead of choosing placement in a suitable classroom in another pusd school, the parents inisisted he be placed in a mainstream class at smes They did not monitor his progress, and he immediately became a significant impediment to the learning ability of the other children with sudden outbursts and violence. When the children complained to their parents, the parents confirmed the situation and went to Mr. Honowitz for help. Following well settled guidelines, temporary remedial action was taken to place the child in appropriate setting. The child is now doing well in a specialized classroom at smes. The parents have been claiming injustice ever since. The office of civil rights rejected their claim. Their primary gripe with honowitz is that he respected the privacy requests of the parents who initially complained to him. One can see why. these are conflict hungry people who seek to force their will on the rest of the community, and if the fail, they will devote all their attention and energies to badger those who oppose them. smes has approximately 40 special needs students, and not one of their parents have joined in to support the brandenburgs since their child was removed from an obviously inappropriate setting two years ago.
dear damage controller, the office of civil rights did not receive about 200 pages of documents including many that were hidden by honowitz. you are a neck talking tool. we have three different versions of legal reports that were provided to us through PRA, all showing that PUSD falsify records.
the OCR did not find in PUSD'd favor, they just didn't confirm our INITIAL claims. we won't refile with them because they don't handle the things we are talking about- that would be the DEPARTMENT of JUSTICE.
This child is NOT in ANY classroom at this time because of the hostility of people LIKE YOU because it is our job to PROTECT HIM FROM BULLIES & LIARS.
HONOWITZ'S ROLE was to PROTECT THE CONFIDENTIALITY of THE CHILD. The CONFIDENTIALITY of the SIERRA MADRE ADULT BULLIES is not protected by ANY LAW, and dig it, WE AREN'T UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO PROTECT YOUR IDENTITY.
the truth? the truth is that your head is so far up honowitz's ass that you can't see the truth
Dear Honowitz Damage Controller aka the truth? Pusddad? Dreier? PUSD lawyer?
How much time was PUSD charged for an attorney to make this post to throw up a smoke screen to protect Honowitz?
Honowitz has nothing to say because if he does, he'll incriminate himself. We have documents written by PUSD counsel confirming the public forum at district offices to discuss our son- how did Honowitz respect his privacy? That discussion was a violation of FERPA, which is one of the complaints for censure.
If Honowitz is able to bully the board majority into covering his butt, they are then aligning themselves with his rogue behavior, including privacy violations, withholding evidence, etc.
You will also note that, wherever you go on the internet that there are always attackers and naysayers, but that NONE of them know us personally. Those that do have never spoken to, nor of us, as this guy does. So desperate in his need to take us down. Welcome to the disgustion, pus.dad, you haven't fooled me, and your ridiculous assumption that no one else has spoken up at smes is just that. It's silly. Plenty of people have spoken out, you just don't hear them from your perch.
The truth!!! Omg are you honeywitz's sugar daddy lawyer??pull your head out wipe it off with a baby wipe and now give us the real truth !!!
"It rises to the top!"
A phrase that (more or less) equally applies to both cream and crap.

Hey Andre. It truly is entertaining to see you coming out of the woodwork again. You state:
"In another censure vote shortly after that, Cooper was accused of divulging details of a closed session meeting that ended without a censure or reprimand."
Let's remind the public that it was YOU who sacrificed YOUR integrity as a journalist to rescue PUSD Board President Renatta Cooper from censure last year with your "last minute" letter to the PUSD stating you (ANDRE COLEMAN) made an error in your article many months prior. You also stated the Pasadena Weekly was looking to see how it would publish the corrections, even though Renatta COOPER publicly admitted to violate Board policy!
The hypocrisy of the PUSD Board leadership led by COOPER & HONOWITZ, combined with your protection, misreporting and journalistic carelessness, speaks louder than your words.
Now that Andre Coleman has made clear that personal politics and friendship trump his integrity... maybe Renatta Cooper should nominate Andre for a Best Friend award... for he is a good friend indeed!

Mr. Coleman,
We would have been more than happy to provide you with the information you clearly didn't receive when you approached board members. You clearly went to to wrong ones, Honowitz is the one that doesn't respect confidentiality rights.
The main point missed in all of this is that Mr. Honowitz and former Sup. Diaz met in the PUSD District offices with an undisclosed number of parents, excluding us, the child's parents. This group met to discuss MY son and behaviors that are a manifestation of his disability.
We would be more than happy to provide the PRA docs, including those written by PUSD counsel that support the statement I made re: a public forum.
To present a fair representation of a situation, you would interview both parties, right?
