If this guy doesn’t reside on the far left than no one does…
Dave Warwakis started a new lifestyle in January, now he wants to force it upon the students at Fox River Grove Middle School where he is an art teacher. He encourages his students not to eat meat, discusses animal cruelty issues and has passed out copies of a John Robbins book titled “The Food Revolution, - How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and the World.”
That’s not enough for Warwak, he has demanded that the school district remove all milk and other animal products from the lunch menu. He has said he will file child endangerment charges against the school district for promoting milk and animal products as part of a healthy diet.
Lou Bianchi, (McHenry County State’s Attorney) stated:
“We will listen to just about anybody,” - “It sounds pretty unusual. I’d look at the endangerment statute again. But you have to prove intent. They’re just trying to feed kids.”
Warwak was asked to leave the school after he refused to stop the discussions with students.
His efforts have gained praise from animal rights groups.
Warwak described himself as a former fishing guide who sold his boat and tackle.
I have to wonder why he “sold his boat and tackle” for someone else to use? Does that not mean someone else just took his place hurting the poor defenseless fish? One would think he could simply throw away his gear to protect the fish. Meanwhile, he should really stop pushing his ridiculous ideas on the children in our schools. If a teacher is worried more about preventing the children from drinking milk then teaching class, I think this qualifies as part of the problem in our public schools.
