Unsuspecting
and trusting children "Well, we now have excellent evidence, for example, as published in the literature to show that on average people do live in fact 10 to 12 years longer who are consuming, you know, a vegan-like diet. That means no dairy, by the way." Dr. T. Colin Campbell PhD. read more Dear Mahaffy, Fox

Beef Recall List “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.”
Indoctrination:
to teach with a biased School allows lunchroom to be turned into a Dairy Industry advertisement; teacher fired for turning his classroom into a “PETA” advertisement. “I found it troubling and problematic that while Warwak was educating his students about the food that they eat and its effects on their health, the principal’s main concern was not about the well-being of his students but that there would be a backlash against the school’s lunch program” Aaron Finke |
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. read more
The State of Illinois encourages teachers to incorporate nutrition in other subjects; however, Fox River Grove School District 3 fires vegan teacher for incorporating nutrition in his art lessons. The Illinois State Board of Education states, "For example, schools can incorporate nutrition education into numerous daily classroom activities such as math, health, geography and science, by developing lesson plans involving fruits and vegetables" http://www.isbe.net/news/2008/july10.htm Humane Education reinforced with a vegan school lunch will end school shootings and create a generation that cares. When children see that adults care enough to change, they will care in turn. read more |
Wasted lives Millions of pounds of murdered animals recalled during summer months reported on Vegan School 101 Click here to find your State agency that will tell you if your child was fed recalled beef from Hallmark-Westland. It is not a "personal choice" when you are eating my friends and you are ruining my world. When you made your "personal choice" did you ask the animal if you could confine, torture, and murder him or her? When you made your "personal choice" did you ask me if I mind all your pollution and devastation? My tax money subsidizes your "personal choice." Just because we personally make selfish choices does not make them "personal choices." Impressionable children are forced to go to school. Advertising of any kind in schools is immoral. Allow children all the information without being marketed to, so they can make their own decisions. A milk mustache on a sexy woman has nothing to do with reality – it is pure marketing. |
"Not only at Fox River Grove Middle School but also in thousands of schools across the country, corporate agribusiness has run amok in the attempt to utilize public education as a place to establish the naturalization of commercial meat and dairy as lifelong eating habits, to generate increased sales, to subsidize the food industry against decreased producer prices, as well as to funnel below-health standards food not fit for public sale. Warwak was correct to demand the riddance of the Dairy Council’s posters as they had in fact already been targeted for removal from approximately 105,000 public schools by the Federal Trade Commission." Richard Kahn PhD, University of North Dakota read more here |

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. |
It's a sad day/world "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" Bruce Friedrich, Vice President PETA History cares not of pride, nor, conformists, only to a gasp at how primitive they must have been; whereas, we always remember those who are able to change with great reverence, for they put aside pride and refused to conform to evil. |

Radio Thanksgiving w/ Warwak
"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?" Check out my paintings on Veganica |
Vegan teacher fired for telling the truth
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. (Justin Runquist photo) 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.

How many more school shootings until we wake-up? Humane Education + Vegan School Lunch = No More School Shootings
Fox River Grove Middle School students, you have mail from Mr. Warwak click here Hey kids, click here to watch a cartoon that shows where your "Burgers" come from.
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it" Buddha |

As long as public schools serve children milk and chopped-up animals for lunch, students will disrespect life. School shootings are a testament how well children learn respect, responsibility, and love from those they trust to care for them. A former fishing
guide who turned vegan in January, Warwak told board members before meeting with them in
closed session Monday that the district was neglecting its duties to teach humane
education and was hurting the environment. "The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion" Frederick Douglass

No one knows for sure if people will start dropping like flies once mad cow starts rearing its ugly head. Do you want to risk your life or your child’s? "Epidemiological models of infectious disease produce estimates ranging from less than one hundred (a level already broken) to tens of thousands or more, depending on the assumptions used by the modelers. The incubation period of vCJD in humans is not known, nor are the genetic and environmental risk factors that influence susceptibility, nor the quantity of infectious agent needed to cause the disease. It is estimated that between one and two million infected cattle have been eaten by humans, most in the earliest stages of the epidemic. Estimates cannot be based on the very few cases that have developed so far. These cases could represent the very few people with the right combination of exposure and susceptibility to a relatively fast-developing infection, or they could be the first few victims of a slower-acting, more highly infectious agent" Larry I. Lutwick, MD Murdered: Jesus, the animal rights activist - When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the Temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables, exchanging money. So he made a whip of cords and drove all from the Temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market!" (John 2:13-16 NIV) read more "We went down into the dungeons where the captives were held.

Veggie Pride Parade NYC 2010
Pamela Rice says ... “Warwak is an extremist, yes. But have vegans forgotten that everything around us is extremely horrible: animal cruelty in unfathomable numbers, a planet imploding because of animal agriculture, and a human health crisis? Why can’t vegans get uppity like every other constituency that is or ever was. Do people think that the meat world is going to just kick over and die one day? We vegans know the score. It’s up to us and no others to take a stand on these issues. We cannot count on meat eaters to see things the way we do… Warwak made a strong one stand. We vegans don’t know how to process it. Unfortunately, the kids are the ones most to suffer from today’s agriculture policies. Warwak gets it. As a teacher, he has to look into their eyes.” http://veggieprideparade.org |
Fearful of losing respect/control, in that vegan students
would have higher moral ground than their corpse-munching teachers, schools hide veganism
from children. How embarrassing. And the poor decision making gets support at all
levels including the schools’ administrations who view the USDA’s National School Lunch
Program as a money maker. Often lunch sales/profits (from small schools who profit
$100,000 to larger districts who crank in millions every year) do not get put back into
the lunch program; but, are instead diverted to other line-items within their budgets - a
source of income and something to take personal and protect at all costs. |
"We believe that in a time when there’s so much violence, especially in schools, that teachers who show kindness and compassion for all life should be commended," said Nathan Runkle, executive director of the Chicago-based Mercy for Animals advocacy group, which lobbies against factory farms. "It’s appropriate for students to learn about the horrendous cruelty that animals endure on factory farms, and about the benefits of a healthy diet." "We believe there would be no controversy if Mr. Warwak was talking about, let’s say, the Michael Vick case and the cruelty of dog fighting," Runkle said. "I think his case shows there’s a disconnect of what’s considered cruel for animals considered pets versus those meant for human consumption." read more “The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it” Albert Einstein |

More wasted lives 143 Million Pounds
of Ground-up Animals Recalled: Most of which has already been fed No matter what anyone argues, schools feeding unsuspecting children the corpses of once living beings and promoting breast milk--complete with its blood, pus, and hormones--stolen from confined, drugged, and tortured cloned creatures as normal and healthy beyond infancy is a physically, socially, mentally, spiritually, and ecologically damaging, unnecessary crime against humanity. I died for your evil corpse-hole - "In this case, the school was pushing commercial milk advertising on kids," said Bruce Friedrich, a vice president of outreach efforts for PETA. "The school was stamping its vote of support on a product that promotes cruelty to animals and harms children." |

When people interfere with others ... Cindy Pilz, of Fox

among students in part because he treated them as equals. Pilz said, “But his
curriculum on veganism was self-serving”. Naming a rock a banana |

“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.” Dr. Will Tuttle PhD., author of The World Peace Diet |

And this from the beef industry: "Nutritional vegetarianism coverage also stemmed from attention to art teacher Dave Warwak espousing his views on veganism to students at Fox River Grove Middle School in Illinois. In a Chicago Tribune report about the dispute between the school and the teacher on the appropriateness of his conduct, Warwak argued, “It’s about health. It’s about living longer” (Sept. 7). In another Tribune report, the teacher said, “I can’t really see working there as long as those milk posters are up and they keep feeding poison to the kids” (Sept. 11). While news reports on the conflict in a nutritional context were generally negative as vegan/vegetarian activist comments were included more often, the Chicago Tribune issued favorable editorials Sept. 12 and 14 that were critical of Warwak and his attempts to indoctrinate the students. Ethical
vegetarianism maintained its position as the leading sub-issue for the September/October
period, appearing in 45 percent of animal rights coverage. The sub-issue retained its
prominence due to a dispute in early September between a vegan teacher and the
administration and parents of students at Fox River Grove Middle School in Illinois. Art
teacher Dave Warwak was accused of inappropriately using his position to promulgate his
views on animal cruelty and veganism. Though coverage included a number of nutritional and
ethical arguments for vegetarianism through Warwak’s supporters, reaction to the
teacher in the media was negative, with a Chicago Tribune editorial calling his campaign
“officially over the top” (Sept. 12). Excerpt from Peep Show For Children Only: |
