“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.” |

“For
the school board to claim that Dave Warwak turned his classroom into a "zone of
indoctrination" is not only ironic, but ludicrous. It is clear that the entire school
is a zone of indoctrination, complete with posters promoting dairy products and a
cafeteria offering a continuous supply of foods derived from terrified and abused animals.
The school and its teachers and administrators present this cruelty as normal in an
overwhelmingly pervasive way to impressionable children. The school is itself an
institution embedded in a culture that uses all its other institutions to do exactly the
same thing. Dave Warwak was providing a small counterpoint of awareness, compassion, and
sensitivity to this flood of indoctrination to which all children in our culture are
routinely subjected and for this he could not be tolerated. That he should be painted by
the school board and media as the "indoctrinator" is beyond absurd, and what is
astonishing is how difficult this is for most people to comprehend. Dave Warwak was
creative and honest in his efforts to help students rise above culturally-imposed
attitudes of violence and cruelty toward animals, and because of this he was viewed as
dangerous to the status quo. In actuality, he was fulfilling a higher mandate, and for
this he deserves respect and honor, not the disrespect and abuse that he has been forced
to endure for questioning a culture that is ferocious in its routine cruelty toward
billions of animals used for food.” |
“Whenever,
therefore, people are deceived and form opinions wide of the truth, it is clear that the
error has slid into their minds through the medium of certain resemblances to that truth”

Fox River Grove School District 3 chooses to ignore the Federal Trade Commission’s ruling against misleading commercial advertising in schools. I am being terminated for my response to the pro-dairy propaganda in the school cafeteria in which, I, as an Art Teacher, was educating students about the power of advertising in the Visual Arts. Specifically, how the Meat and Dairy Industry uses its influence to shape and guide the values and morals of society through indoctrination.
Fox River Grove School District 3 chooses to ignore the 1989 Realities data Warwak presented to the administration (signed for), concerning the Fox River Grove students and their health, namely the diseases which are commonly prevented, consistently improved, and sometimes cured by a low-fat vegetarian diet including but not limited too: Strokes, Heart disease, Osteoporosis, Kidney Stones, Colon cancer, Prostate cancer, Pancreatic cancer, Ovarian cancer, Cervical cancer, Stomach cancer, Endometrial cancer, Breast cancer, Hypoglycemia, Diabetes, Kidney disease, Peptic ulcers, Constipation, Hemorrhoids, Hiatal hernias, Diverticulosis, Obesity, Gallstones, Hypertension, Asthma, Salmonellosis, Trichinosis, Irritable colon syndrome
In retaliation of Dave Warwak’s performance of his official duties and in an attempt to avoid compliance and/or legal action regarding their neglect in addressing ILSC violations and other Child Endangerment issues, Jackie Krause, Timothy Mahaffy, and the Fox River Grove School District 3 Board of Education Members***, knowingly and willfully, exposed Dave Warwak to hatred, contempt, and ridicule, while Warwak was engaged in the execution of his official duties, in which, said members prevented the defendant from performing his official duties.

Most of their version I disputed on record and is unsubstantiated hearsay and lies.

1. Warwak had stopped teaching art and without telling the board, the Principal, the superintendent, or the students’ parents, converted his art classes into classes on veganism and animal rights. The board stressed that Warwak did not merely mention his vegan beliefs during his classes or casually mix in comments about animal rights during art projects, but rather from the beginning of the school year, he dedicated his instruction to preaching to fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth graders that eating meat, milk, and animal products was bad and that following a vegan lifestyle was good. According to the board, Warwak spent entire classes on veganism and animal rights, telling students that animals were tortured to make the meat they ate, assuring them that they would live ten years longer if they became vegans and having students read aloud from books advocating veganism. He also distributed tracts published by "PETA" and "Vegan Outreach" and directed students to Google terms such as "slaughtering" and "factory farming" which would take them to Web sites with graphic depictions of animals being slaughtered. The board noted that Warwak continued this conduct even after being told by administrators to stop. 2. After converting his art classes into classes on veganism and animal rights, Warwak told his students not to tell their parents or teachers or principal about what he was teaching them in his classes. Warwak told his students that parents would be mad, teachers would be mad, and the principal would be mad, so "let’s keep it a secret." 3. Warwak repeatedly refused to answer questions from administrators and the district’s lawyer about what he had been teaching and what literature he had distributed to students. On Monday, September 10, 2007, Warwak left a meeting set up by the district to interview him regarding parents’ complaints about what was being taught in his art classes. Warwak walked out of that meeting without answering the district’s questions, saying, "I don’t like this at all. It’s not about me and I refuse to participate in this [expletive]." Board President Pat Hughes said, "Warwak shouldn’t have secretly turned his art classroom into a zone of indoctrination. This is a democracy and other people have a say over the curriculum. Mr. Warwak shouldn't be allowed to impose his personal views on a captive audience." Board Vice-President Steve Knar said, "The Board respects the right of all employees to follow their own belief systems and respects the diverse opinions of the individuals who make up our school community. This isn’t about whether veganism is good or bad. It’s about the right of the district to be informed about the instruction taking place in the classroom and its ability to control the curriculum. What Mr. Warwak could not do, and remain an employee of the district, was to unilaterally turn his art classes into classes on veganism and animal rights, tell his students not to tell their parents about it, and then refuse to answer the district's questions about what was going on in his classes." |
Timothy Mahaffy, as acting Principal, knowingly
and willfully prevented Dave Warwak from performing his said duties as described under
(105 ILCS 5/27-12)(from Ch. 122, par. 27-12) Timothy Mahaffy, Jackie Krause, and the Fox River
Grove District 3 Board Members***, knowingly and willfully withheld Moral and Humane
Education from teachers of Fox River Grove School District 3 for 8 years, as required
under (105 ILCS 5/27-15)(from Ch. 122, par. 27-15) |
Below in red text is their version which I inserted black text in brackets to expose their lies:
After a long executive session, [1/2
hr private meeting] where Mr. Warwak was again
invited [Lies! I used my lawful right and requested to speak to
the Board. Not again. The only reason they were there was to officially fire me. I was not invited.] to address the Board away from the audience and the
media [not my idea - this is how they hide things], the Board voted 7-0 to dismiss Warwak. They issued a press release
that detailed the reasons for Warwak's termination: [unsubstantiated
bogus lies rife with words designed to trigger emotions and sway
public opinion. Words and language like; democracy, belief systems, preaching, zones of indoctrination,
secretly, impose, personal views, and captive audience. I in fact denied most of
these accusations and was not allowed a chance to face my accusers. Much of the FRG Board
of Ed press release is hearsay and flat out-right lies. The media was irresponsible when it
used the Board’s bogus press release in newspapers, television, internet, and radio
outlets. Their bogus press release was nation wide news and people still believe the way
the media and the Board of Education framed the events]
1. Warwak had stopped teaching art [flat-out lie] and without telling the board [teachers
don’t submit lesson plans to the board], the Principal [I told the Principal exactly what I was doing - he participated in the
lessons!], the superintendent [she
also knew full well of events], or the students’ parents [I told students to learn about it and educate their friends and parents], converted [I incorporated real world issues
within the discipline of Art Education] his art classes into
classes on veganism and animal rights [Art classes
with Art lessons incorporating, advertising, consumerism, animals, veganism, pollution,
factory farming, diet, peace, love, compassion, and whatever other real world issue I can
connect with Art to get students thinking for themselves about issues that matter to them] The board stressed that Warwak did not merely mention his
vegan beliefs during his classes or casually mix in comments about animal rights during
art projects, but rather from the beginning of the school year [another flat-out lie - I was fired after day 1 of my "Power of
Advertising" project which was the only animal rights issue I brought up only out of
their refusal to even discuss the removal of the Milk Mustache posters hanging in the
school cafeteria despite the FCC Ruling], he dedicated his
instruction to preaching [I am a teacher, not a preacher] to fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth graders that eating meat, milk, and
animal products was bad and that following a vegan lifestyle was good. According to the
board, Warwak spent entire classes on veganism and animal rights [once again, this was only one day, this school year], telling students that animals were tortured to make the meat they ate [even though a true statement, these are not my words - unsubstantiated
hearsay that the FRG Board of Education is liable for],
assuring them that they would live ten years longer if they became vegans and having
students read aloud from books [another flat-out lie. I never
had them read aloud - I hate when teachers do that - I simply purchased my students
non-fiction books, The Food Revolution, as a gift. It was to be taken home and theirs to
keep. Some parents had their children burn the books]
advocating veganism. He also distributed tracts published by
"PETA" and "Vegan Outreach" and directed students to Google terms such
as "slaughtering" [out-right lie, but not a bad
idea - I never told students to look up "slaughtering"] and "factory farming" which would take them
to Web sites with graphic depictions of animals being slaughtered. The board
noted that Warwak continued this conduct even after being told by administrators
to stop. [lie, they said stop, but refused to put
their non-negotiable directive in writing and sent me home (they checked with their lawyer and found they
were asking me to do something illegal) and instead thought it easier just to fire me than
to discuss the real issues of today’s youth. I was never allowed back in the classroom]
2. After converting [again, my classes always are
Art classes with Art lessons that incorporate the issues of today’s youth] his art classes into classes on veganism and animal rights [and consumerism, advertising (Art), reality, compassion, peace, respect,
responsibility, caring, pollution, starvation, the healthcare crisis, war, school
shootings, cruelty, environment], Warwak told his
students not to tell their parents or teachers or principal about what he was teaching
them in his classes. Warwak told his students that parents would be mad,
teachers would be mad, and the principal would be mad, so "let’s keep it a
secret." [flat-out unsubstantiated lie - I never said
"let’s keep it a secret"]
3. Warwak repeatedly refused to answer questions [they
repeatedly refused to answer one single question of mine. I had asked that the Board of Education be present, but they were absent] from administrators and the
district’s lawyer about what he had been teaching and what literature he had distributed
to students. On Monday, September 10, 2007, Warwak left a meeting set up by the
district to interview him regarding parents’ complaints about what was being taught in his
art classes. Warwak walked out of that meeting without answering the district's
questions, saying, "I don’t like this at all. It's not about me and I refuse to
participate in this [expletive]." [the expletive was bullshit and it really was. The 10 September,
2007 meeting was an interrogation in which I was not allowed to ask one single question.
They wanted to make this about me to distract from the real issues and ultimately hide their
gross dereliction of duties and other egregious crimes against humanity so they may
continue their support of the death industries at the poor children’s expense]
Board President Pat Hughes said, "Warwak shouldn’t have secretly turned his art
classroom into a zone of indoctrination. [lies worded to
cloud the issues further] This is a democracy [a very corrupt one] and other people [not Vegan Teachers] have a say over the
curriculum. Mr. Warwak shouldn't be allowed to impose his personal views on a
captive audience." [I wasn't and didn’t, just more
slanderous lies carefully crafted to hide the truth]
Board Vice-President Steve Knar said, "The Board respects [the board has no respect for Vegans] the
right of all employees [employees have rights, but the
administration ignores them] to follow their own belief
systems [the Vegan Diet is built on science, not beliefs] and respects the diverse opinions [diverse, but not including Vegan] of
the individuals [the administration has zero respect for
teachers] who make up our school community. This isn't about
whether veganism is good or bad. [yes, it really
is all about how great a Vegan diet is, and all its benefits, but, they want to hide this very much
and cloud the issue by trying to make this about me] It’s about the right of the district [it's
about the lengths that corrupt administrators will
go to in embarrassing and shameful attempts to maintain the statusque at all costs] to be informed
[the administration refused to listen to me] about
the instruction taking place in the classroom and its ability to control the curriculum.
[an open-ended curriculum lacking any subject matter or ideas.
A curriculum that only deals with materials. This is how they cloud the issue with things they know nothing about, but have strong attitudes of.
They want you to think that Art and the curriculum where abandoned, when these things were never deviated from in the slightest. I tried talking with
them many times and they refused to discuss the students’ health and the future of
our planet] What Mr. Warwak could not do [was not allowed to do], and remain an
employee of the district, was to unilaterally turn his art classes into classes
on veganism and animal rights [Art classes
are always Art classes and do not magically lose the Art component when the Art lessons to
make Artworks incorporate subject matter or ideas relating to advertising, consumerism,
animals, veganism, pollution, factory farming, diet, respect, responsibility, compassion,
and whatever other real world issue I can connect with Art to get students thinking for
themselves about the real issues that matter very much to them], tell his students not to tell their parents about it [this is the same lie they repeat over and over. I obviously don't keep
secrets; however, Fox River School District is desperate to hide their dirty little
secrets], and then refuse to answer the district’s questions
about what was going on in his classes." [more lies. I
tried countless times to bring these issues to my superiors; however, not even once, were
my concerns addressed. This is the reason I am being fired. They thought it would be
easier to fire me than to have to sit down and talk about the students’ health and the
future of our planet and act accordingly to be respectful and take responsibility]
In the end, this comes down to a very simple set of circumstances and facts.
I was a tenured teacher in the state of Illinois, who for over 8 years never received a written warning for anything.
The Peep project [http://inslide.com/respect/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=31] and Art show [http://veganica.com/artist/category.php?catid=654] was an attempt to get students to be kind towards animals and ultimately each other. When I saw it offended the adults, I dismantled my Art show and discontinued all projects involving animals for the remainder of the 2006-2007 School year.
The Fox River Grove SD #3 Board of Education spends time transcribing podcasts and filing motions to use against me though. Veganica [http://veganica.com/artist/blog.php?artistid=185&focus=783] has something to say about this also.
The Milk Mustache’ posters still hang in the cafeteria where I once worked. The same school that made me take my Art show down.
This year, when I tried discussing the Milk Mustache’ posters, I was told this was not to be discussed and furthermore, I could not do any projects that involve animals. I said I would have a hard time doing that and I need to see that in writing, otherwise I am legally bound to under Illinois character education laws. They said they would have to meet with their lawyer and discuss whether they can put their wishes in writing, and so they sent me home for the day. That was my last day in school. Instead of letting me teach kindness and compassion towards animals to the children, they chose to fire me as they were unable to legally put their non-negotiable orders in writing. This is the bottom line.
Fox River Grove SD #3 Board of Education members voted 7-0 to terminate me and issued the above slanderous release.
During the closed door meeting on September 24th, Fox River Grove Superintendent, Jackie Krause began to laugh uncontrollably when it was noted that Warwak had received death threats and that there was a Chicago Tribune article [http://inslide.com/sweet.htm] that has Warwak on a list of people to be tasered. The same transcripts that contain discussions of the children’s health and their total disregard of the issues I brought forth. They were to busy laughing at the thought of hurting/firing me. After my allotted 1/2 hour was up, armed police (as if I was dangerous) escorted me off the school grounds while the media was there taking pictures. Later, the Board issued their pre-scripted bogus press release to complete the picture. These are the same administrators who yell at their teachers and bully them, and in the same breath, ask their teachers to teach the students not to bully, laugh at, hurt, or intimidate others. These are the lengths that administrators will go to to protect their positions which enable them to force their religious views and subsequent dogma on generations of innocent children. These are the lengths administrators will go to maintain the statuesque and hide Humane Education from teachers and students, even knowing that, Humane Education coupled with a Vegan school lunch will end school shootings, wars, solve the healthcare crisis and heal/save the earth.

Fox River Grove police officers escort art teacher Dave Warwak out of
Fox River Grove Middle School on Monday after District 3 school board members terminated
his employment. District officials say Warwak turned his classroom into sessions on
veganism and animal rights, and then told students to keep it a secret. (Justin Runquist

Fox River Grove School District 3 chose to ignore the Federal Trade
Commission’s ruling against misleading commercial advertising in schools. I am being
terminated for my response to the pro-dairy propaganda in the school cafeteria in which,

Arts. Specifically, how the Meat and Dairy Industry uses its influence to shape and guide
the values and morals of society through indoctrination. Charges, not limited to, but
include the following:
In retaliation of Dave Warwak’s performance of his official duties and in
an attempt to avoid compliance and/or legal action regarding their neglect in addressing

willfully, exposed Dave Warwak to hatred, contempt, and ridicule, while Warwak was engaged

It’s a sad day when a teacher is punished for telling students the truth: that by going vegetarian they will dramatically improve their health while saving animals from cruelty so extreme it would warrant felony-level cruelty charges in the state of Illinois if the victims were dogs and cats, rather than chickens, pigs, and cows. In a time of growing violence in schools, a teacher who is bringing a message of compassion should be applauded, not punished. Students in every school should have teachers like Mr. Warwak to tell them that the “chicken nuggets” they consume in the cafeteria were once living, breathing animals who were crammed into filthy sheds and pumped full of drugs before having their throats slit while still conscious. Mr. Warwak was also apparently distributing copies of John Robbins’ book “The Food Revolution”, which documents not just the cruelty of the meat industry, but also the environmental and health benefits of a vegetarian diet. In these days of skyrocketing childhood obesity, hopefully Mr. Warwak’s students will take this health message to heart: according to the American Dietetic Association, a vegan diet is appropriate for all ages and vegans have lower rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity than meat-eaters.

When I heard that Dave Warwak was fired from Fox River Grove Middle School in Illinois for his attempts to teach Humane Education, I thought about Socrates who was executed thousands of years ago for his teachings. That ancient Greek philosopher was accused of “corrupting the youth.” I thought how any attempt to teach the truth to youth seems always to be met with opposition and resistance by those who are really corrupt and want to keep the status quo at any cost. Dave Warwak uses his sense of humor and his
artistic talent to help make this a kinder and more gentle world. Isn’t this exactly
what the world needs? |

“On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, "Is it safe?"
Expediency asks the question, "Is it politic?" And Vanity comes along and asks
the question, "Is it popular?" But Conscience asks the question "Is it
right?" And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,
nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

What is Humane Education? Humane education makes the acquisition of relevant knowledge, skills, and commitment to living ethically, sustainably, and peaceably on this planet the very purpose of education. It does this by infusing the curricula at all levels of education with meaningful information, inspiration, and tools for creating a safe and humane world for all. Humane education examines the challenges facing our planet, from human oppression and animal exploitation to materialism and ecological degradation. It explores how we might live with compassion and respect for everyone: not just our friends and neighbors, but all people; not just our own dogs and cats, but all animals; not just our own homes, but also the earth itself, our ultimate home. Humane education helps raise a generation that cares, that realizes that what we do matters, not just to ourselves but also to everyone our lives touch; a generation that understands the connections between both our personal and cultural choices and the fate of other people, other species, and the Earth, and takes responsibility for creating a better world. Humane education achieves these goals by inspiring people to identify the values that will guide them through life and by teaching them the process of embodying these values in the face of complex problems and needs. The birth of humane education as a national effort dates back to 1915. In that year, “Be Kind to Animals Week” was inspired Dr. William O’Stillman, leader of the American Humane Association. AHA’s primary goals were: visiting local schools to promote the development of humane education and publicizing the good works of the nation’s humane societies. Quality humane education uses a four-element approach that includes: • Providing accurate information about the interrelated issues of human rights, environmental preservation, animal protection, and culture. • Teaching critical thinking so students can discern fact from opinion and resist forms of manipulation, whether from advertising, media, peers, or social norms. • Inspiring the 3 Rs of reverence, respect, and responsibility so students will have both the passion for, and the commitment to, bringing about positive change. • Offering choices for both individual decision-making and group problem-solving so that students can become part of a growing effort to develop sustainable, peaceful, and humane systems by which to live. |
"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"

“We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered” Martin Luther King, Jr.

“The moon cries in loneliness as today’s child chooses to stay inside glued to an electronic box, compartmentalized inside a temperature controlled facade, instead of going out in to the world, exploring caves, swimming with turtles, discovering nature’s beauty and perfection, caring a broken wing, feeding fish, finding real friends, friends who help the child as much or more than the other” Warwak
