I began this battle against the woke educational system back on June 2nd, 2020. I started my Maine Source Of Truth Facebook page on March 29th, 2022. Since then, I have provided hundreds of examples of educational horrors from the State of Maine and beyond.
It still baffles me that parents need more than one example, because each of these situations most likely are in your local school regardless of where you live in America. Examples like these are not hard to find. Those “whispers” of the far-left indoctrination of the past decades are now a literal hallway poster in your kid’s face every day they enter the school. I want to share with you just a few of the biggest stories I helped uncover in 2023.
I also host the Maine Source Of Truth podcast, available anywhere you download podcasts and I’ve provided several dozen top notch educational guests to help you understand what is happening all over our country. Some of our bigger guests in 2023: Chloe Cole, Jaimee Michell, Kimberly Fletcher, Brandon Straka, Patriot Barbie, Dr. Trent Talbot, Scott Smith, Riley Gaines and Sam Sorbo. I appreciate all my guests and anyone who has hard-hitting educational content, or legal cases regarding education, please reach out! I’m always looking for more guests to speak with. There is more to expose.
If you have read my materials, or watched my videos, or listened to the podcast, or follow me on social media and have the ability to support my work, there are a number of ways you can do so. The two easiest are becoming a paid subscriber to my Substack, or pitching in on GiveSendGo.
As a reminder, I’ve done this as an unpaid calling since June of 2021 and without generous support, I can’t keep it going. No one else in Maine and I’d dare say no one else in the country, provides this content like I do. Please consider pitching in.
Truth and ridicule…two weapons the far-left hate.
Below is a recap of what I perceive to be my biggest educational stories exposed in 2023 and we will count them down in reverse, from twelve to one. Twelve instead of ten, because I always bring more than you expect:
Spanish Teacher Promotes Trans-Flag In Lighted Altar Inside Classroom - Jennifer Norwood, the Spanish Teacher inside RSU22’s Hampden Academy High School wants students to bow down to the altar of the LGBTQ+/-$& whatever flag. She puts it up in the student’s faces and it doesn’t matter if you find it offensive, or sexualized, or just plain idiotic. It’s a cult war flag.

This is a very basic example of the classroom to clinic pipeline I’ve been speaking about for well over a year. Kids are hyper-sexualized with gaslighting, or constant indoctrination efforts. It’s the breaking down of moral fabric and family values. The goal is to separate the child from the family.
First, it’s announcing your pronouns in class, as demanded by the teacher. Then, it’s participation in the Gay Sexuality Alliance club, then it’s becoming a child-activist. Then, it’s using a different name at school, hiding it from the parents. Maybe the social worker gives your daughter a chest binder. Then, it leads to the “whole school” doctor giving your kid chemical castration drugs without your permission. That leads to hacking off healthy body parts at places like MaineHealth’s Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital. Classroom to clinic pipeline starts with the Jennifer Norwoods of the world. Useful idiots.
Librarians Push Porn On Students, But Reject Anti-transgender Book - Let’s be real, the only people in America “banning books” are woke-ass librarians like Nicole Masterson and Eric Lawson (He/Him/His) at York, ME High School.
Across Maine, citizens are asking more and more questions about the books and materials being provided to minor students inside their local K-12 public schools, paid for by tax dollars. Transgender library displays have appeared inside schools and public libraries in many Maine towns. It has been eye-opening for many parents who had no idea what had been being pushed toward their children without their knowledge. Some of those parents are now asking for accountability, but often they don’t find the answers they are looking for.
Ultimately, if the librarian doesn’t like a book, maybe a more conservative book, it rarely makes it to the shelf. But if it is a liberal book, or a book pushing the trans-narrative, it is fast-tracked and usually placed on display for the students to see and read.
Clay Gleason, Superintendent of Schools for MSAD6, Bonny Eagle formally rejected the book donation in January. He stated that “Irreversible Damage” was considered for the high school library but based on the reviews (which were positive and largely written by parents who found the book enlightening from what I recall) it was clearly written as a resource for parents.” He further explained that “At my request, the (Bonny Eagle) librarian (Erin Duprez) searched for books with similar viewpoints to try to represent a similar perspective.”
Librarians are more apt to put a sexualized flag right up on the front door! Why are minor children overtly being influenced by librarians? Librarians are some of the best political activists, because no one notices the mousy librarian behind their horned rimmed glasses. But they know that unlike most teachers who only have students for a year, these librarians get to indoctrinate the students for several years inside the school. It’s the longer term progression that unfortunately really works for the radical, far-left democrats.
It is also because the American Library Association and every state offshoot, such as the Maine Library Association, is ultimately led by a “Marxist, lesbian” named Emily Drabinski. One who believes that libraries should be sites for “socialist organizing.” So, it might make just a bit more sense to parents and taxpayers, providing the funding to paid activists inside these libraries across the state and across the country. Stop the funding, stop their taxpayer paid activism!
Maine School Counselor of the Year pushes gender on five year olds - Leroy H. Smith School (LHSS) is part of Maine’s RSU22 district, which encompasses the towns of Hampden, Newburgh, Frankfort and Winterport. According to documents and RSU22 employee insight obtained by Maine Source Of Truth, the school asked pre-K students and kindergarteners to prepare artwork celebrating "gender.” Officials also asked second-graders to prepare art celebrating "race & skin color.” The school displayed this student art in its hallways. What lovely propaganda created by our youth.
LHSS Kindergarten Teacher Hannah Hotham and School Guidance Counselor Kimberly Raymond developed this curriculum. She is the wife of RSU22 superintendent Nick Raymond and she was the 2021 “Maine School Counselor of the Year.” One of the reasons she was selected for the award was based on, “...promot(ing) access and equity for all students…” “Equity” is, of course, just another term for “Marxism.” It is also stated by LHSS Principal Dawn Moore that, “(Kimberly Raymond) is more than a school counselor, she is a change agent.”
School Hires “Drag Queen” For Student Workshop - In a gross misuse of taxpayer funds, Bangor High School (BHS) paid drag performer Dominick Varney, aka “Priscilla Poppycocks,” $1,000 to speak at a workshop for invited LGBTQ youth in which the students were incentivised with catered food and allowed to skip regular class instruction time.
BHS English Teacher Emilie Throckmorton (she/her) hired Dominick Varney to come to the first event of the “Support, Educate, Empower” Series. Varney is better known as “Priscilla Poppycocks” in the drag performance community. This is a fantasy land of “drag-queen” deviancy where men often get sexually aroused by wearing female underwear. They are trans-strippers. It’s female blackface. It’s a mockery towards women. It’s disgusting.
This sexual fetish has now been brought into local schools and discussed with minor children. The abject immorality and celebration of delusional people, many with mental illness being pushed on minor students is simply tragic.
There are even educational techs like Waterville, ME’s mentally unbalanced Rosa Dier, men who claim to be women teaching K-3 students and if you misgender him, he gets angry. I mean, “What Is A Woman” really? (We all know.) But, this is the state of our schools. Tragic. Insane. Unsafe.
MIYHS asks 7th graders about blow jobs - The Maine Department Of Education forces inappropriate surveys on unsuspecting children and it is happening in your local school as well. The law states that parents are to be made aware of all surveys and have an opportunity to opt their child out. Of course, we documented that schools are not following the law. Instead, they are asking twelve year old girls if they are giving blowjobs.
In Maine, you must opt your child out of all surveys each school year. I’d also advocate you do so and ensure that no one is meeting with your child one on one without your consent and presence. The MDOE then tries to say that based on these surveys with minors that nearly 1/3rd of all K-12 students are LGBTQ+. This statement is a complete load of crap. I know students that are filling it out as a goof. They know this is nonsensical.

School Uses “Gender Unicorn” To Indoctrinate Students - In my most recent story from Wales, ME, this past fall in a town of roughly 1,600 people, Missy Webster, the Health & Wellness Teacher at RSU4’s Oak Hill High School sent home the class goals and objectives for the Sexual Education class. These were the topics stated to be covered: “Health 1 - Basics of Health, Non-Communicable Diseases, Substance Abuse, Nutrition and Healthy Sexuality. Health 2 - Mental Health, Stress Management, Infectious Disease, and Healthy Sexuality.”
Nowhere on the form did it state that she planned on brainwashing the students about “unicorns.” The Gender Unicorn to be exact, the furthest thing from reality. It’s all a collaborative effort to normalize immorality and sexuality with minor students. If you can get a minor to pick their pronouns, you can get a minor to pick their sexual partner, even if that sexual partner is a teacher.
The Gender Unicorn lesson begins to blur the line in the eyes of the students that “sex” and “gender” are the same. They are not. Sex is God given. Gender is a group of 130 or more terms that have no meaningful reason to be used inside public schools. Schools are allowing minor children to tell us what they think they are. To self-diagnose. They teach sexual narcissism and enable mental illness.
Teacher resigns due to “transgender dysphoria phenomenon” - In Topsham, ME, MSAD75, which represents the super-woke Maine towns of Bowdoin, Bowdoinham, Harpswell and Topsham have lost another good teacher due to the trans-cultism and far-left political pressure that has infiltrated our K-12 public schools, being pushed down from the local school boards.
Letter sent by ex-teacher Rebecca Brooks to the SAD75 Board of Directors resigning her position due to the transgender dysphoria phenomenon.
Rebecca Brooks, a courageous substitute teacher with 17 loyal years of experience, gave her notice recently and her incredibly telling letter to the school board of directors. Teacher Rebecca Brooks referenced the newly passed trans-policy ACAAA being pushed by lawyers DrummondWoodsum and the Maine School Management Association as part of her reason to quit. The “hostile environment” made her “exhausted, physically, mentally and spiritually.” We all are exhausted by the trans-cultists that have infiltrated our K-12 public schools.
Social Worker Sexually Outs Minor To Entire High School Email Group - Leeann Marin, a Winslow ME High School Social Worker who pushed school name and gender changes on a sexually transitioned minor student broadcasted it to the entire high school employees.
She sent this personal information to the entire email listing of “all staff” including teachers, janitors and other district employees, breaking FERPA law and confidentiality policies. She also wanted to keep the information secret from the parents of the confused child. That’s what groomers do, they keep secrets.
Winslow High School Social Worker Leeann Marin outs a minor to the entire school email distribution list.
School Board Member and Executive Director of the National Association of Social Workers expresses anti-Christian sentiments - First, let’s be clear, this guy is a piece of human garbage. Chris McLaughlin, from Hermon, ME and current vice chair of the school board asked a church seeking to rent space in the public high school what their stance was on “safe and affordable abortion.” What they thought about “gender affirming medical care” and “conversion therapy for LGBTQIA+ individuals.” He voted to not let them rent the space, because he’s a far-left, taxpayer paid trans-cultist.
Chris McLaughlin is the same guy who’s favorite book is Gender Queer, wants to keep secrets from parents even if the student is planning to kill themselves and wants to talk about more taboo subjects behind the closed door of his office. He grifts off local school districts and has made $20,000 off two schools selling his LGBTQ nonsense. Super-groomers are very prevalent in the field of social workers.
Do not let these people be alone with your child!
The far-left MEA, Maine teachers union then provided McLaughlin a “Friend of Education,” award in May. The same union which endorsed and placed him on the board in the first place. The same union run by Erin York of Hermon, ME who told parents to “take your kids elsewhere,” if you don’t like their political stance and the worst educational assessments in recorded history. Creeps, all of them.
Brave 11 Year Old And Father Comment On Smut In Library - Knox Zajac, an 11 year old from Windham, ME and his father, Adam exposed Middle School Librarian Sienna Tinsley when she helped him check out the graphic novel “Nick and Charlie.” She told him if he liked that one, she had similar books to lend him. The book was on display as these children entered the school library.
Knox Zajac, an 11 year old student reads from “Nick and Charlie” at the school board meeting.
“This book contains sexual activities; alcohol use by minors; drug use; profanity; and alternate sexualities” and is rated a “3 out of 5, Minor Restricted” by BookLooks.org. Imagine allowing an 11 year old minor student to check out a book with the word, “fuck” in it 21 times? About sexual activities? About “post-sex candid” photos?
Why is that book there in the first place? It shouldn’t be. If they had a sexualized content policy, followed the laws and sign off policies, had proper curation and parental control, the porn wouldn’t be in the library. Federal and state laws prohibit the possession or distribution of pornographic material involving children and the school board can immediately remove “pervasively vulgar” materials. But no one is prosecuting the librarians grooming children. Where is the outrage?
Instead, high school english teachers like RSU22’s Sam Manhart, who lives in Hampden, ME push books like “The Bluest Eye.” Just one of the grossest books around and not something anyone under 18 years old should ever pick up. Innocence lost is never regained. People like this want to take your child’s innocence from them. Groomers are inside your local school. I bet my life on it. Are you willing to bet your child’s life on it? You are currently it seems…
Male Runner Bullies Girls - Soren Stark-Chessa, a pathetic male cross country runner who was ranked 172nd as a male was allowed to simply braid his hair and paint his nails and then dominate female cross country running as a sophomore “girl.” The story received several million impressions worldwide and was Maine’s most widely viewed educational expose. This was also a story that the alleged conservative media outlets like Maine Wire wouldn’t touch. But every conservative outlet across the nation did, comedians did and this story was even was seen in seven countries.
Yup, he’s a dude…just a really pathetic one who bullies girls.
In the last regular season home meet of her entire high school career, Emma Young was beaten by a boy who was allowed to run with the girls. Miss Young pounded out 200 hours of training into this past summer to become the fastest girl in her area and one of the better cross country athletes in the State of Maine. Only to be pushed out of the way by a young-man, who is mediocre in boys' competition and has a far-left set of parents and a liberal elite private school backing him.
Emma Young was beaten by a discriminating trans-misogynist. He set a new course record for the “girls,” by bastardizing the prior time by over 30 seconds, set two years ago by Cape Elizabeth’s Lila Gaudreault. Her record was smashed by a dude. He won another meet by over two minutes! How brave of him. (Insert slow golf clap here.)
Fact is, trans people don’t exist. It’s all fake. There are two sexes, God given and you are an XX, or XY chromosome being. Nothing your misplaced emotions, your sexual narcissism and your mental illness can do to change it. Facts don’t care about your feelings.
The Maine Principal Association Executive Director Michael Burnham allowed this complete trans-misogyny towards women. Any Maine athlete who’s ever laced up sneakers, any young-woman playing athletics today and any girl who wishes to play athletics in the future are all impacted. Soren Stark-Chessa knifed the girls in the back. The MPA killed off Maine female sports. Not enough parents seem to care.
Maybe when a boy exposes himself to your daughter in the locker room, or your daughter is raped inside a school bathroom, will you understand?
Teacher Charged With Sexual Abuse Of A Minor Student - No one but Maine Soure Of Truth uncovered this story, including the Maine Wire who chose not to touch it. Kiera McGlinn, 42 and a substitute teacher of the Bonny Eagle School District in Standish, ME is accused of having a sexual relationship with a teenage boy. Police say during the investigation, McGlinn also contacted the boy and asked him to lie about their relationship.
McGlinn also allegedly “sexted” naked pictures of herself to at least 3 minor Bonny Eagle High School students. The Principal, Greg Applestein was pulling kids out of class and deleting photos on students’ phones to protect the district and cover up the incident. Think your child won’t be raped by a school employee? Think again.
Fox News stated “An estimated 10% of K-12 students will experience sexual misconduct at the hands of a school employee...” That was a 2004 U.S. Department of Education report. 20 years later, it is way worse. In 2022, Fox News reported there were nearly 350 public educators arrested for child sex-related crimes. Imagine the number that wasn’t caught. They are still out there.
Your child is at risk inside the K-12 public schools. Pull them out today.
