After weeks of outrage, the Principal at the SAUSD’s Willard Elementary, Dennis Cole, was directed to cancel the Bible/Prayer clubs he had been promoting at his school. Many teachers and other community activists were outraged by Cole’s actions with regard to those activities as he appeared to be mixing religion with the public school environment – far beyond what the law allows.
Cole canceled the clubs in question, but he apparently did not stop there. He canceled ALL the student clubs at his school!
Here is what one commenter, at the Orange Juice blog’s long-running SAUSD thread, had to say about this latest development:
Dennis Cole is a vindictive evil individual! Had no reason to cancel all clubs. He was directed to terminate his bible club, that was it. He took it upon himself to cancel and get rid of the other clubs on his own.
Cole is a person who can not and will not accept positive or constructive criticism. If it did not come from him, it is not a good idea and its not happening.
And here is more information about Cole’s actions, from another commenter:

Good for him!
Someday in the very near future we are going to get rid of public workers and privatize all public sectors!
Watch, how the stuck up, useless, liberal disaster's, drop like flies as we get rid of public sector liberal scum for the best and the brights of private sector educators!
Then we will move on to the courts, and the white house and all of a sudden the kids are educated and the country rounds like a well oiled machine!
Teachers or union scum like Annon who is nothing but a horrible liberal nosey cow is pis@# her pants right now as more and more people realize that the wolf in sheep clothing are teaching in the public schools!
And colleges!
Wow Michelle, and I thought I had issues. Why are you getting all worked up in defense of bible-thumper education. Question; is Jesus coming 2012? He did die for your sins. so I guess you can just keep hating your neighbors huh?
I say we start a new thread just for Michelle, so she can get some of those anger issues out of her system. WOW!
"wolf in sheep clothing are teaching in the public schools!" DENNIS COLE..
I am so glad for people like michelle, defending, while attacking individual who are making a stand against a tyrant and immoral person like Dennis Cole.
Michelle,
your wolf in sheep clothing you are referring too, is Dennis Cole..What more of a despicable person. Someone who prays on innocent children, according to his own words.
So, what I am reading is you, blatantly supporting Dennis Cole, violation and civil intrusion into the private lives of those who can not defend themselves. While he pushes his religious beliefs on 11 year old kids, while he is getting paid, 100k, to teach them how to read,write and math.
That's just great,
And, you are calling teachers, what, now.
Go, and take a hard look in the mirror.
If your son or daughter was a Willard student, I highly doubt, this would be your take on Dennis Cole.
"I say we start a new thread just for Michelle, so she can get some of those anger issues out of her system. WOW!"
MQ says:
You bet I am angry! It's ok to show anger when it comes to paying though the roof a Public School District that spews out thousands of students every year without a command of even a basic education!
You keep worrying about Global Warming/cooling - what ever the trend in stupid is tomorrow!
I will worry about having to dodge a bullet for SAUSD product today!
"I am so glad for people like michelle, defending, while attacking individual who are making a stand against a tyrant and immoral person like Dennis Cole."
MQ says:
Compared to you, most likely the guy is a saint! In your twisted sense of morality teaching kids about skin color and Global warming/cooling is more important, than sharing stories about a guy who obviously has a moral sense only you could dream about! Again, I don't subscribe to any one religion really, but I think the stories and the teachings of Jesus Christ can't do any one harm. Unless like you, you're the spawn of the sh(* head down stairs!
'And, you are calling teachers, what, now.
Go, and take a hard look in the mirror."
MQ says:
I don't need to look in any mirror, I am not a SAUSD educator! My conscience is clear!
"If your son or daughter was a Willard student, I highly doubt, this would be your take on Dennis Cole."
MQ says:
I would not let my dog go to SAUSD, never mind a kid! And my dog is pretty smart!
Don't worry one of SAUSD finest! You are not immoral, just another liberal with a warped sense of reality!
Mateo,
Maybe you should join the bible group! God help them! Bible thumpers are good, loving people who will sit and listen to your issue's all day!
I would not!
Maybe, that is why I defend them? They are good people, you and I are So, So!
If he does come in 2012, I will just tell him " I tried, GODDDDD did I try!"
Just a guess, I think he will let me off with a smile!
Michelle,
ur funny :-)
When Cole comes in 2012, I mean, God.
He will let u off with a warning, kicking you off the stairway to heaven, directly into the hands of Dennis Cole, who will convert your beliefs..
The devil in sheeps clothing!
Lets do coffee and donuts, while we pray to allah.
Art - you might find this interesting - an OJ SAUSD commenter traces the blame for all this back to your old opponent Audrey Noji (for recruiting Russo, who picked Cole.)

Why is all the concern on teacher accountability? When does SAUSD hold site administrators and administrators downtown accountable? Juan Lopez made a terrible decision hiring Dennis Cole to be the Site Administrator at Willard. Time after time in SAUSD, he has made horrendous decisions in his choice of administrators. Why is he not held accountable and instead given a raise?
And, now with the poor decision to place Dennis Cole at Willard, when is Jane Russo held accountable for her lack of leadership in coming to a quick resolution of the problem at Willard. For 6 years, she let Jeff Bishop destroy the school and then finally transferred him to Sierra. Is she going to leave Dennis Cole in for six years as he creates the Willard Christian Academy? In most other districts, the administrator would be replaced now (even if someone was put in on an interim basis). At this point in the school year, to do anything other than remove Cole ASAP would be tantamount to criminal negligence.
I’m ready for the school to be taken over as a charter school unless something changes quickly. This is beyond ridiculous.

At one time there was an outcry of administrator accountability, however the former superintendent and his lame cabinet were successful in silencing the members of the community that led the charge.
Trustee Noji singlehandedly recruited the current superintendent just like she did Trustee Hernandez. Noji has carefully put in place puppets that will support her agenda.
And the mayor of Santa Ana has been careful to protect his investment of Richardson, Noji and Hernandez on the BOE. You must first understand the politics of the City before there’s any hope of rescuing SAUSD.
First of all, if God or Cole comes; as you call him, comes down from haven at the present moment, I'm sure he will be saying, "Go get em girl!". As far as I no, the big lad in the sky loves his words passed around. So, just a guess, I think God is one of Mr. Coles greatest fan's! Not good for you and the rest of the nosey buggers; is it?
"Lets do coffee and donuts, while we pray to Allah."
MQ says:
Sorry, don't do donuts, and I doubt I would be welcomed into allah's tent. Because I happen to be a woman that does not like men telling me what to do, nor would I wear that ridiculous covering of my head and body! I tend to think god like's to show off his best works!
I don't subscribe to any religion, especially religions were stoning,burning and hanging women is a ritual!
Now if only Mr. Cole would read the Karan! Not a peep would we get from all those intelligent, dedicated SAUSD teachers! NO NOT A WORD!
Am I cracking you up yet?
Mr. Cole... Do not give in and do not give up and that goes for your students as well.
You are only dealing with a couple of people who like to keep the students as low and empty as possible! After all, it must be stressful to try to actually teach!
Keep them dumb and it's an easier pay check!
And Mr. Cole may your God bless and empower you!
:) Cheers!
