SANDRA GLOWACKI AND THE NAZIS

by Scott Rose

Spirit Day is an annual remembrance of LGBT youth lost to bulliedcide.

Many school districts voluntarily participate in Spirit Day observations, hoping to put a break on the scourge of anti-LGBT bullying.

Every LGBT bullycide victim had a mother.

But Daniel Glowacki's mother Sandra Randolfi Glowacki evidently doesn't give a fuck.

The dead were only dirty inferior homosexuals; why should she care?

Sandra, indeed, believes that God gave her son a right to perpetuate anti-LGBT bullying.

On Spirit Day, October 20, 2010, the smug little gay-bashing bigot Daniel Glowacki introduced anti-gay hostility to the classroom while his teacher Jay McDowell was making a Spirit Day-themed Economics class presentation. McDowell had the obstreperous little bigot leave the classroom.

The school district has a shameful history of racism; only recently, students had set up an anti-black Facebook page with a Confederate Flag as its logo. The day Daniel Glowacki introduced anti-gay hostility into the classroom, a fellow student arrived wearing a Confederate Flag symbol. McDowell had that student remove her Confederate Flag.

Glowacki then demanded to know why that student could not wear her Confederate Flag, if others -- (on Spirit Day!) -- were being allowed to wear their purple "Tyler's Army" Spirit Day t-shirts, which offended him.

For Glowacki to say on Spirit Day in class that the purple shirts offended him, is akin to a white supremacist saying that a Black History Month presentation offends him, and to a neo-Nazi saying that a Holocaust history lesson offends him, because all Jews offend him.

Sandra and Daniel Glowacki as professional gay bashers don't necessarily know the teacher Jay McDowell's life history. For all they know, he had a lesbian niece who killed herself after being bullied without mercy in a public school. But, as said above, Daniel Glowacki's mother Sandra Randolfi Glowacki evidently just doesn't give a fuck.

In the federal court lawsuit that Sandra Lynn Randolfi Glowacki is bringing against the Howell schools and Jay McDowell,  the gay-bashing Glowackis and their gay-bashing Thomas More Law Center attorneys allege that "the universal, consistent moral teaching of the Roman Catholic Church" compelled Daniel to introduce anti-gay hostility into the classroom on Spirit Day.

Now let us examine "the universal, consistent moral teaching of the Roman Catholic Church," to see why it necessitates anti-gay hostility. The Pope and the Catholic Church blessed The Crusades, in which Catholics slaughtered countless innocent Jews and Muslims all over Europe and the Middle East. They raped no small number of women while they were at it, but what is a little inconsistency in your moral teaching when you are carrying out a Pope-blessed mission to murder Jews and Muslims?

While Catholic leaders in France went about the genocide of French Protestants, called Huguenots, the Catholic Church of Rome did not make a peep of protest. The infamous forced conversions and expulsions of the Jews and Muslims of Spain -- The Inquisition -- was directed from Rome, where the Vatican called itself The Holy Office of the Inquisition. During the Inquisition, people in Spain found guilty of sodomy were burned to death at the stake. 

Which brings us to Sandra Randolfi Glowacki and the Nazis.

Sandra is Italian on her mother's side. The Pope secured independent nation status from dictator Benito Mussolini in a power-sharing agreement. That's what it was, for all that Catholics don't much like to talk about the subject these days. Throughout Mussolini's dictatorship, the state required all schools to give religious lessons in Catholicism.

Where was Sandra Randolfi Glowacki's Italian family while that was that was going on? (Here you can read the article "Italy Finally Ready to Recognize Suffering of Gays in Holocaust Camp").  Mussolini's granddaughter, active in Italian politics, once reacted to criticisms of fascism by saying "It's better to be a fascist than a faggot." Might Sandra Randolfi Glowacki and/or her relatives agree that it is better to be a fascist than a faggot?

As for the Glowacki side of the family -- when the Catholic Church signed its notorious treaty with Hitler -- the Reichskonkordat -- anti-Jewish racial laws were already in effect in Germany. The treaty swore the loyalty of the German Bishops to Hitler. Be it noted in passing; the Vatican wished Adolph Hitler a  happy birthday every year he was in power. To see a photo of the Nazi flag flying from the Catholic cathedral in Cologne, Germany, scroll to the middle of the page at this link. Notice that at the bottom of that page, there is a photo of Bishop Coch giving the Hitler salute. Given the Church history of muderous Crusades, Huguenot slaughters, and Inquisitions, one can see where giving a Hitler salute would fit right in with "the universal, consistent moral teaching of the Roman Catholic Church" that Sandra Glowacki mentions in her gay-bashing lawsuit.

Is it only coincidence that in 1817, in Zelow, Poland, the priest who made the first recorded mark of a Jewish presence there was named Aleksander Glowacki? Glowacki went on to issue an order against renting rooms to Jews in the city. Eventually, though, Zelow came to be used as a herding ground for Jews prior to their being shipped to concentration camps to be murdered. After the war, the Vatican helped Nazi war criminals to evade justice through the "rat lines" to South America; many of the Nazis whom the Vatican helped to evade justice paid Vatican officials with goods stolen from Jews and made off with the rest of the stolen booty themselves.

Now that we have an accurate understanding of "the universal, consistent moral teaching of the Roman Catholic Church," let us ask, where were Sandra Randolfi Glowacki's relatives during the World War II period? What were they doing, with their understanding of "the universal, consistent moral teaching of the Roman Catholic Church"?

More recently, "the universal, consistent moral teaching of the Roman Catholic Church" has been rearing its ugly head in various ways beyond the Glowacki's gay-bashing lawsuit. When Father Jaime Duenas of the Bronx was arrested in August, 2011, on charges he had repeatedly molested a 16-year-old girl working in the Church rectory, Archbishop Dolan, now Cardinal Dolan, took to his blog, where he trashed the 16-year-old girl.

Catholics actually do believe that Jews will go to hell if they do not accept Jesus as "their savior," but they can not, in a public school environment, repeatedly voice that negative anti-Jewish judgement, because to do so would be to create an illegal, non-religion-neutral learning environment hostile to the Jewish students.

Advocating for religion-based, anti-gay hostility is illegal in a public school classroom, for the same reasons. The question has already been tested.

Yet, Sandra and Daniel Glowacki are alleging in their lawsuit that Daniel had a right to disrupt a Spirit Day observation with anti-gay hostility because "As Catholics, Plaintiffs have a duty and obligation to defend their faith in public, including a duty to speak the truth about homosexuality."

Catholic dogma, and the truth, are not the same thing, as Galileo knew. Catholic dogma no more contains "the truth" about homosexuality than Sandra Glowacki is a ravishingly beautiful, sexy young bikini model. Her federal court pleading is full of the most medieval and insulting gay bashing; it fits right in with burning known gay people at the stake.

Which is quite the coincidence, given that Glowacki presents herself as a Catholic martyr in a fund-raising promotion video for the so-called National Organization for Marriage. NOM's mastermind gay-basher Robert George also is on the Board of the Family Research Council, an SPLC-certified anti-gay hate group. When Congressman Brad Sherman proposed a congressional resolution against the "Kill the Gays" law in Uganda, NOM's George's FRC spent $25,000 lobbying against the resolution, on the grounds that it constituted "pro-homosexual promotion." In other words, NOM thinks that the only good gay is a dead gay.  NOM did, after all, sponsor an anti-gay hate rally in the Bronx in May, 2011, where a NOM-approved speaker yelled through a megaphone at the crowd that homosexuals are "worthy to death."  NOM has communicated its "The only good gay is a dead gay" message in umpteen other ways. It made a promotional film similar to the Glowackis' NOM video, with Jerry Buell, a Florida public school teacher who told his class that homosexuals should be allowed to serve in the military, at the front lines with heterosexual troops deserting them from behind.

Read through Glowacki's federal court pleading, to see if this vile gay-bashing bigot is not in effect saying, yeah, let's keep the anti-gay bullying going, until every last LGBT teen has committed suicide. Clint McCance, a school board vice-president in Arkansas, did react to Spirit Day by saying that he would only wear a purple shirt if every gay student killed themselves.

Every once in a while, a Catholic Church official in America says what the Church really thinks, but is so hateful that even the Church has to distance itself -- if only by a micro-measure -- from the statement. Such a thing happened when the Church's Daniel Avila said that all gay people were created by the Devil, not by God.

What arrogance -- what towering, stinking bigot's arrogance -- for Sandra Glowacki to write in a federal court document that Catholic dogma is "the truth" about homosexuality.

How dare she?

Where were all of her family members and ancestors during the Crusades, the Inquisition and the Holocaust?  Where were they? Did they maybe burn a few sodomites at the stake? What were they doing all that time in line with "the universal, consistent moral teaching of the Roman Catholic Church?"

Here -- while we wait to learn details of Glowacki family history -- is a photo of Adolph Hitler greeting a Catholic Cardinal. The photo helps to illustrate something included in Glowacki's lawsuit: "the universal, consistent moral teaching of the Roman Catholic Church."

MONEY, AND THE GAY-BASHING GLOWACKIS

by Scott Rose

On Spirit Day, 2010, in his Howell, Michigan public high school classroom, student Daniel Glowacki said "I don't accept gays."

Teacher Jay McDowell eventually told him he had to leave the room.

The question of whether McDowell violated Glowacki's free speech rights is presently the subject of a federal lawsuit being brought by Daniel's mother Sandra Glowacki in his name, and in the name of another of her offspring. The pleading is full of language defamatory of gays as a class of people and thus now is the subject of my request for the Attorney Grievance Commission of the State of Michigan to investigate Glowacki's attorneys.

It appears that should this lawsuit go ahead, the determinative facts might have to be ascertained from many student witnesses deposed and/or put on the witness stand under oath.

However all of that may be, Glowacki at all moments admits that in class that day, he said "I do not accept gays." The incident generated controversy in the Howell community. A few days later, Glowacki's mother told a local newspaper "The things people have been saying online about my son have been terrible." Remember; this woman's son said "I don't accept gays" on SPIRIT DAY. Remember too that the LGBT community has had to suffer actual school board members, such as Clint McCance saying that they want all "fags" to commit suicide.

Now here's where this gets REALLY interesting. Sandra Glowacki told her local paper "My son is not a bigot. He has a very diverse group of friends that includes some gays. If a gay student was being picked on in class, he’d stick up for them." Daniel Glowacki . . in this period when he was taking heat for having said "I don't accept gays" told the reporter: "I never said I was against gays."

The Spanish expression is A otro perro con ese hueso . . take that bone to a different dog.

One could speculate that Sandra Glowacki and her son Daniel alleged that Daniel accepts gays after all, perhaps in order to get the criticism then being made of him to die down.

And now, Sandra Glowacki is demanding in a federal court that McDowell and the Howell Public Schools give them MONEY  . . . and I'm repeating the word so it's clear what is involved . . . . . $$$$$MONEY$$$$$  . . . for not having allowed Daniel to continue to create a classroom environment hostile against LGBTers after he said . . . (we're not yet sure how many times) . . . . but possibly more than once . . . and on Spirit Day . .  "I don't accept gays."

It's enough to make somebody ask themselves "Why would people who said 'My son has gay friends' and 'I never said I was against gays' now file a lawsuit asking for $$$MONEY$$$, $$$MONEY$$$, $$$MONEY$$$ because they don't think Daniel Glowacki got a chance to say "I don't accept gays" enough times in a public high school on Spirit Day?"

Different school districts have different policies but it's hard to imagine many American schools today that would allow students to say and repeat "I don't accept Christians" or even "I don't accept African-Americans." (Note that Daniel's same high school had a notorious anti-African American incident involving  students and the Confederate flag, and that the violators were disciplined). It hardly even seems likely, for example, that in an American public school, a student could say, and repeat and then repeat again, over and over and as many times as she pleased during the year "I don't accept Jesus." That statement would too likely provoke a disruption to the learning environment.

The system already "gets" why it can't have public school students saying "I don't accept Jews" and "I don't accept Mormons." But the reason controversy arises around the phrase "I don't accept gays" is that anti-gay bigots like Beverly Lahaye say hateful things such as "They are not a legitimate minority group." Look in the comments under the many right-wing Christian blogs now going into spasms over a Catholic gay basher's alleged right to gay bash, and it won't be long before you hit on anti-gay comments such as "They aren't human." And that is the tip of the ice-berg of the anti-gay vitriol. Under the Thomas More Law Center's Facebook post about the lawsuit, Glowacki supporter Rhein Krigner said "Teach that crap to my kids and I will kick your ass and stick you back in the closet." TMLC's FB page administrators left that comment up for several days while interacting with others on that same comments thread. The gay-bashing comment only disappeared from the thread after my Complaint to the Attorney Grievance Commission . . with that comment mentioned inside . . got published online.

The Glowackis' lawsuit asks for the Court to declare the Howell Public Schools' anti-bullying policy unconstitutional. That is not likely to happen, as precedent law shows that students' free speech rights in public schools are not identical to first amendment rights. One is perhaps not incorrect to opine that what's at stake in this lawsuit . . . besides $$$MONEY$$$ . .. $$$MONEY$$$ . . .$$$MONEY$$$ for the Glowackis (and their Thomas More Law Center attorneys, who are busy waving the Complaint document under anti-gay bigots' noses to attract donations, even though papers have not yet been served on the Defendants) . .  is whether American society is ready to think that LGBTers are really human and a legitimate minority.

OPEN LETTER TO GAY-BASHER DANIEL GLOWACKI

From: Scott Rose

To: Daniel Glowacki

Listen, Glowacki you gay-basher. I am calling bullshit on you and your gay-bashing lawsuit that asks a US Federal Court to have a school's sexual-orientation-specific anti-bullying policy declared unconstitutional.

Firstly, let's review the events of Spirit Day, 2010, on which your lawsuit is based.

Apparently, teacher Jay McDowell was wearing a purple Spirit Day shirt in honor of Tyler Clementi while teaching an anti-bullying lesson that was NOT limited to anti-gay bullying. You began your challenge against your fine teacher when he asked another student to remove their Confederate flag belt buckle. It defies credulity to suppose that you had no idea about the Howell School District community's recent history with malicious anti-African American bigotry connected to the image of the Confederate flag. I call bullshit on you in a first instance for your having challenged teacher McDowell over the matter of the Confederate flag. In case you need a reminder of what happened in your community with the Confederate flag, go here. Be sure to read the hateful anti-black comments under that post.

The Howell Schools' anti-bullying policy gets published in your local newspaper. It says that no verbal harassment may be directed against a group.  That's what you did, when in class you created a learning environment hostile to LGBT students by saying "I don't accept gays."  Nobody in that classroom said "I don't accept Catholics."  No victim need come forward with a complaint about your bigoted remarks, for your behavior to constitute a violation of the school's anti-bullying policy. Because your community, and you, in many ways create a hostile environment for gay human beings, it must be allowed that a student in that classroom that day could be actually gay but fearful of coming out because of the toxic environment that you have some responsibility for having created. I repeat that nobody in that classroom said "I don't accept Catholics."  You are not a victim of anything; you are a violator of the school's anti-bullying policy, which absolutely would protect you against having to put up with somebody saying "I don't accept Catholics" in a classroom.

One of the main reasons that I'm calling bullshit on you, and on your mother, is that you are talking out of both sides of your mouths. You told a local newspaper "I don't want people to think I'm against gays. That's just not true." And your bullshitting mother told that same paper "My son is not a bigot. He has a very diverse group of friends that includes some gays. If a gay student was being picked on in class, he’d stick up for them."

The lawsuit being brought by your mother in your name contains shocking language defamatory of gay human beings as a group; that language subverts the dignity of the Court. It is as hateful an attack against all gay people as the nasty anti-black comments written under the article about Howell Schools and the Confederate flag.

Your statement that you are not against gays, and your mother's statement that you have some gay friends, are completely contradicted by the hateful anti-gay lawsuit being brought in your name. Your attorneys are running around wagging the Complaint document under anti-gay bigots' noses and encouraging them to gay bash in your community and all over the internet.  

Your lawsuit is seeking to have declared unconstitutional an anti-bullying policy that protects you every bit as much as it protects LGBT students. If you want to be in a school environment consistently hostile against LGBTers, and where you may with impunity declare "I don't accept gays," then you should seek out a Catholic school that agrees to provide you with such an environment. 

You are a bullshitter, Daniel Glowacki and so is your mother Sandra. Nobody who really was not against gay human beings and who had gay friends would bring the lawsuit you are bringing against the Howell Public School District.
