PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION JAN. 10-2, 2025) — Once again, THE PLANET called it, and we have the witnesses to prove it in any kangaroo court.

Prior to Wednesday’s Pittsfield School Committee meeting, we predicted that supt. Jumpin’ Joe Curtis, with his bag lady PHS principal Maggie Esko, would compel at least a couple students to address the dais. You know, The Children for The Children. Sure enough, 10th grader Benjamin Glockner and fellow student Jessmirac Perry touted the Exalted Greatness of the school. Yes, it must be great, given the surplus of allegations against staff members and administrators — running a drug empire and pimping students.

It was an orchestration worthy of Lawrence Welk … or even the Dorsey Brothers.

Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski, the bedraggled taxpayers on whom “Official” Bitchfield keeps spitting, knew they were in the bonus situation when one of the kids, Perry, was (a) black and (b) female (gender self-identification notwithstanding).

Using kids as human shields to divert the attention away from the serious nature of this growing scandal–great look for the school department, one that we’re sure will bring comfort and closure to the Kapanskis.

Glockner and Perry did a fine job reciting prose poems about their beloved alma mater (and THE PLANET‘s, by the way). The kids obediently memorized and recited the talking points. A little robotized, but overall, not bad.

The chittluns chided the adults for being “negative” about the scandalized school. These are the same adults, mind you, who only pay for the entire freak show, north of $150 million a year, not that we can expect them to understand how taxation works in the shell game known as “public education.”

Truth is, Glocker, Perry, and every other PHS student has been given a fat lie by Curtis and his henchmen and women. What has been passed off to them as “an education” has instead been a fake, a farce, and a transgression, one so bad that it easily has passed from education and politics into the territory of morals. Religion calls it “sin.”

———- ooo ———-

This week, THE PLANET spoke on the record but not for attribution to several “stakeholders.” School committee members we spoke to basically are treading water at this point, kept afloat by the decision to shove the mess off their plates and onto the Springfield law firm of Bulkey et al. Nice move. That way, they can avoid comment on “an ongoing investigation.” Others were equally as bland.

You’ll recall that School committee chair Bill Cameron, in an exclusive interview with THE PLANET, assured citizens that Bulkey had no ties or business with the city. Terrific, but how do we square that with the law firm appointing a retired judge who worked as an attorney in Pittsfield back in the early 1980s. Those with good memory know that was Bernie Baran Time. Nuff ced.

The eye-roll highlight of the meeting was when Perry said PHS was “an amazing school filled with amazing people … I hope it’s not my color you see but my voice you hear.”

THE PLANET to Jessmirc: Honey, by your self-reference to “my color,” you forced people to see … your color.

The remark brought the race card into the room, and it didn’t take The Amazing Kreskin to know that we would hear that Lavante Wiggins was singled out because he’s black.

Right.

We get the feeling powerful forces are working overtime behind the scenes to see that the excreta dished out by clueless Pedofield “Officials” will be sanitized and then forgotten, to eventually disappear into the Angelo mists so that the extracurricular fun and games can continue. …

… but only after the “independent investigation,” mind you.

Have a great weekend, everybody.
