So What *IS* Relevant?

Several times now it has been stated that the information posted here is irrelevant.  But is it?  How many people would want to know if they had been lied to by someone they entrusted their children to?  That the buildings they were being cared for in were dangerous and didn't meet building code?  That their principal didn't have the educational background and credentials that he claimed?  I certainly would!

All of these things certainly do not mean Mr. Adams is guilty of molesting children, but no one here has ever claimed that.  The thing is, when you are a in business, you have two choices.  You can do things the right way, or the wrong way.  With all the business dealings, there is a paper trail.  Things you say and do can be seen by all who are looking.  Most often, no one has a reason to look.  But when you are accused of crimes, people start to look around.  Unfortunately for Mr. Adams, there have been MANY things he has been dishonest about.  Posting publicly available documents certainly isn't a crime.  It certainly is relevant to the parents who had children at CFS.

My name is irrelevant to this case.  It makes no difference who I am.  You can threaten to expose us and take us to court all you want.  Anyone who has used their real name has been publicly bashed and lame attempts at discrediting them have been made.  One person who used her real name has had her choice in TV shows mocked by none other than Christian Peet on his blog....because that is relevant right?  No. The Ryan Smith case...is that relevant? No.

What is VERY relevant is that supporters are loosing faith.  It isn't hard to thank them publicly for their support and give quick updates about Mr. Adams health.  It certainly isn't part of any gag order.  But I suppose attempting to mock all of these very serious problems instead of actually addressing them is more important on the agenda.   No one is asking for details.  They just want to feel included and know their efforts are actually appreciated.  I'm sure they would rather read that instead of Christian Peet's random dialogues with us using the CFS Facebook page as his backdrop.

  1. It is certainly relevant to me, as a parent who had children at the school, if someone has been lying to me and others. WTF is Peet on about Adwords for? The thing you posted was for a Google Grant program, not Adwords. Maybe he should check what he writes before he attempts to call others stupid. Also, where is Bob writing to tech support? I don't see that either. If he was writing in a Q and A forum to see why his school PTA didn't qualify not his school, then that certainly would have been something he should have included and made clear since it very clearly would make a difference.

    I don't get it. I stopped supporting the school a long time ago when it became clear that they just wanted to ramble on blaming everyone instead of addressing the problems. Anyone who disagreed got a verbal lashing. Why they keep letting that man pull the strings and run his mouth about stupid stuff on THEIR page, I will never know.

  2. Well, he isn't entirely off as Google AdWords does sponsor the grant program, however he should probably be a bit more clear.

    This is the page that specifies what the Grant program is about: http://www.google.com/grants/details.html#program

    But you are correct, it would have been important for Mr. Adams to specify if it was his school or his PTA he was seeking the grant under as the answer to his question would be different.

  3. So Google Grants is a program that gives free google AdWords Advertising. So ummm why would the PTA need that? That doesn't help the PTA, that gives HIM free advertising.

  4. You just have to ask "what would it take?" for these people to see the light. The huge allegations aside, I could never be happy about being lied to about credentials, the school reopening, where the fundraising money is going and when prepaid tuition will be repaid. Our tuition money would sure come in handy with Christmas right around the corner! Why should we pay for services we never received?
