SF indoctrinating students for lockdowns, social credit system, and partial digital ID - TAKE ACTION NOW to PREVENT THIS EXTREME TRYANNY
Dear San Francisco Medical Freedom Activists and Allies:
Yesterday, Lowell High School in SF began practicing school lock down, a social credit system, and in part, digital IDs. Scroll further down for more details from a Lowell parent.
I think we all know where this is going -- getting our children accustomed to having restrictions in their movements, having to scan their IDs to get in and out of non-optional locations, and having their movements restricted based on a "merit system". Which school, workplace, library, hospital, or courthouse is next?
We need all-hands-on-deck to shut this down immediately. Whether you're a Lowell student, parent, or alumni, a San Francisco resident, a taxpayer in California, or NOT -- please, please, please take immediate action to let the powers-that-be know: We will resist this. ACTION ITEMS BELOW:
Summary, from a Lowell parent in our SF group:
On April 6th, Lowell's new Principal sent a letter to families informing of a new "Closed Campus Protocol" to be implemented starting on April 10th, yesterday.
The reasoning behind this new policy is to improve safety and security in the school, but no information was given as to what prompted this sudden change. Rumors have it that a few weeks ago there were fights taking place at Stonestown Mall, where many students go for lunch or after school. Rumors also say that no Lowell kids were directly involved in the fights, and that this happened after school hours anyway.
The closed campus policy means that students and staff alike are not allowed to leave campus between the hours of 8:30 and 3:40 (with rare exceptions) and need to identify themselves with an ID on a lanyard (with a QR code) or with their cellphone app.
A very troubling part of the letter is the introduction of the conditions for the reopening of the school in a "tiered-basis", were students with good grades, low truancy rates, few tardies and a clean record will recover their freedom while others won't. Welcome to the social credit system!

My letter
Dear Principal Jones,
I was informed yesterday of the new policy to close Lowell campus. I am a parent and educator and have been an administrator and run my own programs in California. I understand that when things are scary or feel out of control that the impulse is to close borders and isolate. I grew up in North Africa and attended an American school there. We always had an open campus where parents were welcome and it was a beautiful supportive community. I returned to teach there in 2012 with my own children. What a contrast! Soldiers and guards at the school gate and school drop off and pickup outside of the gate, parents almost excluded from their children’s school. In the name of safety. These measures sever the school home connection which is vital to student success. Punitive controlling measures such as closing campuses and basing reopening on completely unrelated factors create an atmosphere ripe for lying and hiding and disconnection. Instead, I urge you to consider measures which foster connectivity and encourage positive behavior amongst students, thereby fostering greater emotional health. Give them a reason to want to be at school or return to school if they walk out to buy lunch. I am a certified positive discipline educator and I believe in the positive discipline values which include connection over correction.
In peace,
It's time to go full French Revolution, we lost our choice in this matter. Revolt or slavery. Take your pick.
