What will Frank LaRose do? How will he deal with Election Coercion and Intimidation of FIRST TIME VOTERS?

I am both a parent and an advocate, compelled to address a severe breach of trust in our schools. Imagine sending your child to school—a place meant to educate, nurture, and inspire them to think critically and independently. Yet, schools like Warrensville Heights are being pressured, even coerced, into supporting specific political agendas. Students—our children—are being pushed not to explore but to comply, encouraged to engage in voting efforts that align with particular interests rather than freely discovering their own beliefs. They claim to be “undercover centrists” and pretend to be liberal to skate through school and or employment. How horrific! My children have expressed the same sentiment for almost a decade.

This isn’t the first time schools have overstepped. Specifically, in my daughter’s school -Mayfield Heights, it went further: children were forced to wear masks and pushed to get vaccinated, and ultimately, those who didn’t comply were barred from sports and other activities that enrich their lives and contribute to their well-being. My daughter was robbed of her high school experience that had nothing to do with health but about ESSER Funds and compliance. Many students have developed crippling health conditions due to this effort, and my daughter was bullied by her teachers for not getting vaccinated. These policies were forced upon them without parents having a say, without regard for each child’s health, and often against our judgment as their caretakers.

I sued the school district for civil rights violations on behalf of my child as I wished to ASSERT my rights as a parent to defend her rights. The court sat on her case for over 18 months and then decided that parents have NO RIGHT to protect their children’s liberties.

I appealed to the Sixth Circuit that asserted that now (by the time the case got to them) my daughter was 18. Hence, it was moot but still stated that children of parents who do not have the money to hire a civil rights attorney are not afforded any rights to injury unless it is death to which the government will advocate for them.

But this is about more than masks or voting drives; this is about our fundamental right to guide our children’s lives. The 14th Amendment guarantees the liberty to direct our children’s care, custody, and control. The Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld this right in landmark cases like Pierce v. Society of Sisters and Wisconsin v. Yoder, affirming that parents—not the state, not the schools—are entrusted with these responsibilities.

This is why I took the case to the Supreme Court of the United States, and they, too, found it moot because my child is an adult now and not in school, contradicting their landmark case Pierce v. Society of Sisters and Wisconsin v. Yoder showing politicization of our judicial system which can only be remedied by relentless fillings and demands for justice.

We are watching our rights erode as our children face pressures that should never be part of their education. When schools coerce students to align with political goals, like in Warrensville Heights, it’s a form of manipulation, not education. When Mayfield Heights forces them into health decisions, it’s a disregard for our role as parents and for the protections established by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which forbids discrimination in education. Denying a child access to sports or isolating them from their peers due to vaccination status—these actions marginalize, divide, and, in some cases, discriminate.

This is not simply about our children’s experiences today; it’s about the precedent we set for their futures. When did our public schools become arenas for compliance rather than learning? When did they gain the authority to determine what’s best for our children without our consent? Schools should foster independent thought, not demand allegiance to specific ideologies or decisions.

Parents across this country are watching. We’re here to remind our institutions of the values that built this nation: freedom, integrity, and respect for the role of family. We’re here to assert that our choices for our children’s welfare are ours to make—not theirs. Because if we relinquish this right—if we allow schools to override our role as protectors and guides—what’s left of our freedom? Today, I demand that these institutions remember who we are: the parents. And no school, district, or agenda has the authority to strip us of this responsibility.

For any student at Warrensville who has been made to feel pressured, coerced, or manipulated in matters of their political choices, I say this: You are not alone. We, the people of this community, are here to support you. If you stand up and seek justice for the harm you’ve endured, know we are prepared to back you. We are ready to help you retain skilled legal counsel, support you financially, and stand beside you in this fight for accountability.

We, the taxpayers, fund these institutions, and our voices are clear: Our schools must be places where respect, freedom, and impartiality reign. They must be places where students can ask questions, explore ideas, and form opinions based on critical thinking—not on pressure or undue influence.

The stakes here go beyond any single incident. We are laying the foundation for the community and nation we want our children to inherit. One where their rights are upheld, their voices are respected, and their personal choices are free from external manipulation.

So, to Warrensville High School students and any student who feels their freedoms are being compromised: We are here, ready to support you. We will hold these institutions accountable, not out of anger, but out of a deep and abiding love for the freedoms we cherish and the principles we believe in. We are prepared to ensure that no student’s voice is manipulated or controlled and that the values of justice and liberty are protected in every classroom and hall of this community.

This is our promise, our duty, and our commitment to you.

Subject: Urgent Inquiry on Potential Misuse of Public Funds and Partisan Influence in Student Voting Transportation

Dear Mattie,

I am requesting urgent clarification regarding the funding source for the school bus transportation provided to students for voting. Public institutions, including school districts, are held to strict legal standards of political neutrality, and public taxpayer funds are generally prohibited from being used to support any partisan activities or candidates.

Please note that we have CC’d the Secretary of State’s (SOS) legal counsel on this communication to formally notify their office of these concerns and seek their evaluation of whether Secretary Frank LaRose’s office has initiated any corrective measures to address these issues.

Under Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 9.03, it is unlawful for any political subdivision to use public resources to promote or oppose a candidate or measure on the ballot. This restriction exists to maintain public trust and to ensure that activities funded by taxpayer money do not convey favoritism or bias toward any political figure, party, or agenda. Public funds designated for educational purposes, including transportation, must remain nonpartisan and cannot be allocated to activities perceived as endorsing a particular candidate.

In this case, there are significant legal and ethical concerns. Reports indicate that students were allegedly encouraged to support Vice President Kamala Harris during this trip, with statements purportedly suggesting that voting for her would signify respect for the Black community. If verified, this behavior represents a direct violation of the principles of political neutrality required of public educational settings and may infringe on students’ rights to independent voting choices.

If the allegations are substantiated, this case could constitute grounds for a formal complaint based on several legal violations, including:

  1. Misuse of Public Funds: Taxpayer dollars allocated for student education may have been improperly used to conduct an event with partisan intent, potentially violating Ohio Revised Code 9.03. The use of public school buses to transport students to vote, coupled with partisan messaging, raises substantial concerns about whether public resources were allocated lawfully.
  2. Voter Coercion and Influence: Any attempt by school officials, teachers, or staff to influence or direct students’ voting behavior, especially if the students felt pressured to support a specific candidate, may constitute voter manipulation or coercion. Ohio Revised Code 3599.01 addresses the illegality of influencing voters, including minors, through intimidation or inducement. If students were coached to vote for a specific candidate, this could further substantiate a claim of undue influence and violation of voting rights.
  3. Transparency and Accountability Standards: Ohio law mandates that public institutions adhere to strict transparency standards, especially regarding the allocation of public funds. A failure to establish and communicate impartial guidelines for activities such as transporting students to voting locations could indicate non-compliance with state regulations, undermining public trust and accountability.

Additional Concerns Regarding Adult Students and Compelled Voting

It is crucial to examine whether providing transportation and potentially conveying partisan messages to students, who are legal adults, unduly influences their voting choices. Adult students can vote free from any actual or perceived coercion. Any implication that students’ progress toward graduation or standing with the school might be affected by their voting behavior could be viewed as an abuse of authority, raising severe ethical and legal questions.

Superintendent’s Partisan Affiliations

Given the superintendent’s known association with the Ohio Democratic Party and participation in related events, verifying that no aspect of this trip served to advance a partisan agenda within the school district is vital. Ohio Ethics Law (Ohio Revised Code Chapter 102) requires public officials to avoid using their position to secure preferential treatment for any party or candidate, reinforcing the need for impartiality in all school-related activities.

Request for Immediate Documentation and Response

To address these concerns and ensure compliance with state and federal law, I formally request:

  • Documentation on the funding source for this voting-related transportation,
  • Records of any policies, guidelines, or communications issued to school personnel, chaperones, or students to ensure political neutrality during this event,
  • Information on any procedural safeguards in place to prevent partisan influence in school activities.

Given the severe nature of these allegations and the potential impact on student autonomy and public resources, we urge Secretary LaRose’s office to scrutinize this matter and provide insight into any remedial actions taken to ensure adherence to legal standards.

Please be advised that, given the nature of these allegations, legal action is actively considered. The lawsuit will request an investigation into whether this trip was used to bolster support for a particular candidate under the guise of civic engagement. The position of educators as authority figures, along with students’ aspirations for graduation, could be construed as coercive if partisan influence was indeed exerted. Students who participated expressed such pressure and coercion because they were being supervised and coached by school members and staff.

It’s like extra credit, Tore. They were praising Kamala and kept citing Shontel Brown and Earl Roberts as examples of leadership. To me, it felt like cheating. When I tried to discuss it with the girls in my group, they were more excited about skipping class than concerned about the coercion. I reached out because I’ve been listening to your shows since I was 16 and appreciate your balanced perspective. It’s not okay, and many boys felt the same way. It’s ‘hood rat’ politics, where you have to be part of the group or you’re not wanted. It’s pretty bad.”

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. This information will ensure transparency, accountability, and adherence to the legal standards governing our public educational institutions.

Kind regards,
Tore


The coercive power dynamics established during COVID-19 have set a precedent that could extend beyond health measures into realms such as political influence within schools. When educators enforced mask-wearing, social distancing, and vaccination mandates, they often acted under the assumption that these were universally valid and enforceable requirements, perceiving their authority as largely unchallengeable. The minimal pushback from parents or legal entities may have fostered a culture where school administrators and teachers feel heightened invulnerability to potential legal repercussions. This atmosphere of perceived legal immunity could encourage some educators to extend their influence over other aspects of student’s lives, including political preferences or voting behaviors.

The issue of voter coercion in schools is susceptible because minors and young adults are at an impressionable stage of cognitive and social development, where authority figures can significantly influence their beliefs and decisions. During the pandemic, students grew accustomed to non-negotiable mandates, potentially conditioning them to comply with authority figures without question. Scholars argue that once a population—especially a young, impressionable one—has been habituated to conforming under perceived authority, it becomes increasingly susceptible to influence in various contexts, including political ones (APA, 2021; Arendt, 1951). In a school environment where teachers’ authority went largely unchallenged during the pandemic, educators may feel emboldened to guide students’ political choices or views, assuming they can do so without legal consequences.

Extending COVID-era coercive dynamics into political domains like voting could have significant consequences. Studies suggest that when students feel pressured to align with institutional political stances, they may be more inclined to adopt these views as their own, diminishing their capacity for independent thought and informed decision-making (Foucault, Discipline and Punish, 1975). Should such coercion go unchecked, it risks eroding democratic principles within educational institutions, fostering a generation that views voting not as an act of personal agency but as an expectation shaped by authority figures. Legal safeguards and public scrutiny are essential to prevent the overreach of authority in schools, ensuring that educational institutions promote civic engagement and independent thinking rather than coercive compliance.
