I didn’t forget about the West Branch-Rose City school district case where the Michigan Education Association is going to arbitration to provide severance for convicted child rapist Neal Erickson with $10,000 of tax payer money. As the former head of that union at the school, Erickson repeatedly raped the young son of the Janczewski family from 2006 to 2009. The boy is now a man who turned 21 as of 2013. During the hard years of the rapes by his teacher the young boy had a very confrontational relationship with his father, which makes sense—as without question the child was upset that his parents couldn’t protect him from such savagery. This case infuriated me to such a degree that I had to put it on hold for a couple of weeks just to calm down. I didn’t want to deal with it in this format during the Holiday Season. When I first heard it, my lingering thought was to travel up to Michigan and clean house. The law failed, the schools failed, government failed and the villain was the teacher’s union—clearly. So I had to hit pause in my mind and calm down—but even so—I am thoroughly pissed off at this case—emphatically pissed off is more like it.
This case represents everything I have warned about on this site with hundreds and hundreds of articles. Teacher unions are vile collectivist organizations that should have NOTHING to do with educating the future of America. They shouldn’t be allowed to conduct business of such a degree as what is happening with the Janczewski case, and should be outlawed in all public institutions. There is nothing good that comes out of a teacher union for a child’s educational growth. The union is only good for the employees of a school, and if any public school states that it wishes for what is best for the children which attend it—then they should support the removal of teacher unions from all public schools—because of this Janczewski case.
To a lesser degree within the Mason school system in Cincinnati and my current district of Lakota—I have seen first-hand the kind of collectivism that seemingly logical teachers utilize when they circle the wagons for a cover-up. When something goes bad at Lakota, the teachers generally cover for their fallen “soldiers” in the struggle for “solidarity,” and even if the crimes are vile—they still stick together against all outside judgment. Such team uniformity is destructive and has no place where children are present. The number of cases where teachers are having sex with their students—sending sexually explicit text messages to students and other vile acts are horrendously common. During all these vile circumstances, the teachers stick together through their union and support one another against the judgments of the “outside” world. Some people believe that I fan the flames of discontent to keep property taxes low—and have my own political motivations for revealing the information. But the truth of it has always been that I’ve seen the kind of solidarity that the Janczewski case has revealed under the worst possible circumstances.
Lori Janczewski was a teacher and volunteer at the school who worked closely with Neal Haviland Erikson, 5’ 10”, born in 1974 on the 8th of September, a brown-haired, blue-eyed teacher union president who was in charge of virtually everything. With that power Erikson decided that he’d seduce and rape Janczewski’s child who attended his middle school math class. Years later in 2012 an anonymous tipster alerted authorities to video and pictures on child porn websites of the Janczewski son engaged in sex with Erikson performing oral sex and various renditions of anal sex. Janczewski was so arrogant about his rape that he recorded it to share with the world–an act that made his guilt vacant of any dispute. But that’s not the worst thing that happened.
Once the Janczewskis found out about what happened to their son bringing an end to the mysteries of why the child had become so unruly at home, the teacher’s union threatened harm if the family went forward with prosecution suffering retaliation. Apparently the threats were made good when the Janczewskis pursued justice—their garage was burned down and their home barely escaped the fire. On the wall of their house was the message beginning with a declarative pronoun, “I told you—You will Pay.” It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who burnt down the garage and left behind the message. The most ardent supporters of the child rape wrote letters in support of Erickson which you can see below—as well as their email addresses—in case any law enforcement wants to pursue the case. (I already know the answer to that, keep eating your f**king donuts)

At the trial it was some of these people who marched into the courtroom and seated themselves on Erickson’s side of the room and came to his defense even after the video testimony was shown and he plead guilty. If you take the time to read their letters, it is absolutely stunning that these small intellects are actually teaching children—anywhere, let alone at a school. I find them astonishing. ASTONISHING!
I didn’t hear about this story when Glenn Beck first covered it in August. I actually saw it on Bill O’Reilly. Beck is always well out in front of these kinds of stories before they make it to the mainstream. I was dealing with at the time the many local issues regarding the teaching profession, so I missed this story coming out of Michigan. The local stories were sexting cases where Lakota teachers were attempting to seduce student in the same way that Erickson had done, but the cover-ups were the same. The biggest difference is that Erickson got caught red-handed with video tape showing him doing the act—and it was beyond dispute. Without that video, there would have not been a case against the teacher, and he’d still be teaching and doing the same thing to other kids—backed by the teacher’s union.
The anger over this issue is in knowing that these kinds of things are happening all the time and when they do there is no shortage of apologists from the teacher’s union who use the same arguments they utilize to pass school levies to defend such atrocities against children—such as “it was only one child, and “it happened so long ago.” Given what I know about these kinds of stories I would say that they are common place—not exceptions and that teacher unions have shown a tendency to hide even the worst crimes to protect their collective hive.
How many other children are there out there like the Janczewski child? I would bet dozens in every public school in The United States, tens of thousands if taken with a collective summation. Teachers are well aware of the crimes, but they won’t do anything about it for the same reason that they threatened Lori Janczewski with her job and well-being if she told anybody what happened regarding her son. The Janczewski family was supposed to contain the information and sit on it, sacrificing their child to the lust of Neal Erickson, and his wife who was the teacher of the Janczewski’s youngest daughter. Even knowing the terrible things that had happened to her brother, the sister was forced to sit and witness the intended cover-up by the wife of the guy who did the deed and put it on video for the world to see. The wife knew, the other teachers knew, and they did not have outrage and condemnation toward Neal Erickson—their former union president—but support, even to the sentencing phase.
The union was not angry with the Janczewski family because of the crime. They were angry that they pursued justice for their son. They expected to use force and intimidation to silence the family into a sacrifice of their child to the yearnings of Neal Erickson–acts that the teachers who supported him endorsed.
I have told similar stories of issues that have happened like this at my home district of Lakota. I have gone to attorneys, media personalities, and the local paper with the scoop on the story—and the result is resounding silence. Nobody has the will to engage these horrors directly—they wish to continue believing that schools are safe for children and should be paid limitless property tax money forever to cover the cost of employing these idiots. The courts will do nothing about these crimes unless the perpetrator is caught blatantly like Erickson was. If there is any doubt in the case, the police union will help the teachers union cover up the story the same way they do for police beatings and abuse—and the courts will play along because they don’t want their garages burnt down, or their daughters raped and pulled over by officers looking for revenge. And if anybody thinks that is an inflammatory statement, I have swampland in Florida complete with a plug and play diamond mine to sell you. The crimes committed by members of teachers unions is epidemic, they may not all be as openly bad as the Erickson case, but they are vile nevertheless. And we continue to fund them with our property taxes to slowly destroy the lives of the next generation with progressive tripe and sexual abuse—all in the name of job security and good pay in the public education system. With these people it is all about solidarity—not a value system of behavior and that makes every member of a teacher union a danger, and menace to society.
