“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”

“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”
"It is right here, right in front of us, everyday. It is like a wavy haze that melts the ground, like a type of fog or smoke that clouds our thoughts. It starts when we are very young and grows, as do we, until it becomes part of us, part of our history, part of our being, what we have become and what will become"

"American society's chaotic flood of minutia burdens its people, so much so, most have no time to dream of better, let alone fight for what is right. Our lives are spent as automatons who work, pay taxes, never speak out against injustice, and meander about aimlessly, living one day, to the next, all of this, to the great satisfaction of those in control"

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?

ARBITRATOR SIMON: But you made the argument. And --
MR. DAVID WARWAK: I will rephrase it.
Q. Is there any point where you would go against what your superiors told you for any reason at all, whether it be children's health or just because you want it, would there ever be a reason?
A. I would not go against my superiors.
Q. At any time --
A. At any time.
Q. (Continuing.) -- ever.
A. I would leave my position.
Q. Even if people's lives were at stake?
MR. RILEY: Objection, asked and answered.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: That's not -- no, that's not a hypothetical question.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: I'll allow it.

A. I don't agree with you. We have a menu that talks about calcium and protein --
BY MR. DAVID WARWAK:
Q. I just asked the question, it's a yes or no question. Even if people's lives are at stake?
A. But I don't agree with you so I can't answer that question.
Q. I asked you at what point would you ever defy your superiors, and you said never. And I asked you, even if people's lives were at stake?
A. If students' lives are at stake or the safety of the children, I will do whatever I can to protect them.
Q. Even if it means defying your superior?
A. Yes, sure.
Q. Okay, thank you.

“Peep Show For Children Only” exposes real life behind the scenes dramas, which document the struggle to maintain the status quo. The author, Dave Warwak chronicles his trials and pursuits to teach humane education to his middle school art students against his principal’s orders. Complete with actual documentation of State of Illinois courtroom proceedings, Warwak presents compelling arguments about the human condition as he draws open the curtain hiding society’s ills. Just as Scopes changed the landscape of education with his “Monkey Trials” some 80 years ago, Warwak has come forward in present day with striking revelations about our current failing educational system and offers clear no-nonsense solutions that chill one to the bone. This book is for all ages and for all time. Warwak is a social critic, philosopher, humanitarian, animal rights activist, artist, musician, educator, poet and writer who paints a convincing picture.
Expert witness testimony by Dr. T. Colin Campbell PhD.

Who I'd like to meet:
"This case of tenured art teacher Dave Warwak being fired by Fox River Grove Middle School for bringing truth and compassion to his students is not only fascinating, illuminating, and ironic, but potentially explosive as well" Dr. Will Tuttle PhD., "The World Peace Diet" Eating For Spiritual Health And Social Harmony
"Peep Show For Children Only" is inspiring and very telling about our dysfunctional so called educational system in the U.S. Warwak details how schools mold minds to conformity and punish those who question authority rather than encouraging articulate free-thinking minds" Alfredo Kuba, President Defend Animals Coalition
"Naming a rock a banana does not make it food"
"Warwak had the courage to be bold in expressing his opinions. His actions are not only a great lesson for young people, they also are the stuff that made this country great" Dr. T. Colin Campbell PhD., Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry, Cornell University and author of "The China Study"
“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.”
"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.” Bruce Friedrich, Vice President PETA
"It is not a personal choice when you are ruining my world and you are eating my friends"
"Most of our problems are not nearly as bad as we make them out to be. In all actuality, our problems with others are quite inconsequential and are oftentimes, just our own behaviors. It is those same behaviors, that bother us so much, that we would like to change in others, that we cannot see are in ourselves. Behind those mirrors, our lives, in reality, are very fine and full of much good, with the realization that, within change, there are no problems, only solutions"
"Saw it in the far off distance, a wavy haze melting the ground. I chased it down and grappled the machine. Now, I'm coming home"
"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"
Foreword by Dr Will Tuttle PhD. and Dr. T. Colin Campbell PhD.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: I would like to make a formal request on the record.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Yeah.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: There's a lot of discussion about milk posters and what they say and how big they are. I would like them in as evidence.
MR. RILEY: I want to make sure Josh is with his mom.
MS. ROGERS: I missed the beginning. I apologize.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Let's wait until Mr. Riley gets back.
MR. RILEY: I want to put on the record, whenever I walk the people out, I always tell the kids, whatever they say, you did a great job, and thank the parents, and that's what I'm doing.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Okay.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: There's a lot of discussion about what the milk posters say and no one really has a firm idea, including the man who hung them up had no
idea what they actually said. I think that we need to see them especially in regards to dimensions. That was brought up also. I think we need to see the actual concrete things that we're talking about so we know what they are. And I would like to see them in this room as evidence.
MR. RILEY: We're not putting them into evidence. It's our case. We don't see it as even relevant to the case. And it's not been raised by us. We're not talking about the posters.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: Every time the milk posters have been raised there hasn't been any objection to the relevance, and we have already made it part of the
record. That makes it relevant. Mr. Cappellania hung the posters up and he couldn't even tell us what they said. I think it's an important issue in this case and we need to see them.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Well, in your case in chief -- I presume you're going to testify, Mr. Warwak.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: Yes.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: You can give me a description of the poster. You can describe it for me.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: I --
ARBITRATOR SIMON: I have a general idea of what the posters look like. I have seen posters of that nature.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: They all say different things and we need to see what they say for this case.
MS. ROGERS: One thing just to mention, as Mr. Cappellania testified, the posters change from time to time. Even the ones that are there now aren't the ones that are there in the fall so as to what they say, they rotate.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: We know that. He did not offer that testimony. He never talked about how they rotate. I would like to see the posters that are up.
MS. ROGERS: Yes, he did. Go look at them.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Are you suggesting a site visit?
MR. DAVID WARWAK: If they don't want to bring them here, I would love to go to the school with everyone, write down what they say and measure them so we have dimensions and then return here. I think that it would be a wonderful thing.
MR. RILEY: It's not -- the only thing I'm going to say is it's not relevant to our case, Mr. Simon, at this point we're not putting it in. It's our case and --
ARBITRATOR SIMON: But the posters are in your possession and Mr. Warwak is requesting them. I suppose make a subpoena duces tecum to request them.
MR. RILEY: I guess we'd object on the grounds of relevance. I'm not sure what the milk posters have to do with the case. It doesn't have to do with the
district's case. Mr. Warwak is alluding to these things but I can't -- it still doesn't have any relevance to the nature of the charges. Mr. Warwak doesn't like the milk posters but the milk posters aren't our case.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: Just saying that there's no relevance doesn't prove your point when we have been talking about the milk posters and we had Mr. Cappellania on the stand, I'm -- part of the reason I'm being fired is because of these milk posters. It has every relevance in the world.
MS. ROGERS: The milk posters have come up in the context of the information that he gave children in class or at which he discussed with our staff members. Our questioning has simply been about that. What he discussed has not been about whether milk posters are right, wrong or indifferent. So the actual milk poster itself is not relevant. What Mr. Warwak told the students about them is. That's been our line of questioning.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Well, I think the posters are relevant because there has been discussion in the classroom about the posters. And that, in itself, makes it relevant aside from the fact that they have been discussed by both parties here at this hearing. The question is the vehicle for bringing them into the record. Like I say, I have seen a number of posters of this nature. I don't think I need to see every individual one of them.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: They are all different. They say different things.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: I know that. And I don't think we can put together a compilation of all of the posters that have ever been displayed at the school.
I think that for me, my purposes as the hearing officer, if you can describe to the best of your recollection what those posters say.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: That is one reason I need to see them is because I want to speak the truth, not my recollection. I want to see the actual thing.
MR. RILEY: Could we make a suggestion about this?
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Sure.
MR. RILEY: We don't want to take the milk posters off the wall. I mean, we have got Mr. Warwak driving up and down on his Harley.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: This is irrelevant and that's already been addressed.
MR. RILEY: I'm going to make it relevant. Now we're going to take the milk posters down that Mr. Warwak --
MR. DAVID WARWAK: No relevance.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Mr. Warwak.
MR. RILEY: Now he wants the milk posters taken down so the kids can see that. What we would suggest is that the hearing officer, after hours, can take a trip over there, take a look at the posters in their – in context in the cafeteria.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: I think -- what time does the school close.
MS. JACQUELINE KRAUSE: Students are dismissed at 2:40 -- band kids and all that are there until 3:10.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: Okay. We're scheduled to go until 5:00 today. Do you anticipate going until 5:00?
MR. RILEY: I think probably. Dr. Krause is next and then we have one student, but Mr. Warwak is probably going to have some cross-examination of
Dr. Krause. Probably take us to 5:00.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: I'm all for going there and personally seeing them after the students are gone with everyone. I'm fine with that.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: I think that's probably the best solution and, you know, whatever time we finish, as long as it's after all the students are out of the
school, we'll do a visit. I presume you have a key to the school.
MS. JACQUELINE KRAUSE: I do.
ARBITRATOR SIMON: One of the responsibilities of the superintendent is to carry the key to the school.
MR. DAVID WARWAK: Excellent. Thank you.

I died for your evil corpse-hole - a letter to a most unfortunate associate
Dear Corpse-muncher,
First off let me just say this, “Fuck you”
And fuck your friends and families for generations to come
My ancestors are yours; yet, you wantonly ingest the death of yourself when you eat me
As you die a slow cancerous self-induced death, may all the suffering you have caused others be thrust upon your wretched soul before you are crapped into the cold ground only to become earthenware at best, while we live on forever
I sincerely hope you enjoy my bloody butchered self you evil robber-of-life for I know my existence---thanks to you---was as miserable as the next worthless soul’s only left to meditate on the suffering and pain so it would become part of my flesh so when you selfish cold-hearted murderous sorts ingest my misery, it will become yours
Greetings And Love To You !!!!!!! On This Beautiful Day, A Beautiful Heart Was Born !!!!!!! Happy Happy Birthday To You !!!!!!! Have A Wonderful Day !!!!!!!
Beneath the pussy-willow tree, I found a fairy ring. A ring of tiny toadstools, Where fairies dance and sing.
I've heard that on a moonlit night, Or on a sunny day, The fairies come to dance and sing, And make up games to play.
So if you find a fairy ring, While playing out of doors, Be very careful where you step, For magic can be yours.
It is a joy each day to discover the wonders of nature. Nothing random and all beautiful. I hope you spend your days with me, amongst the joys of the outdoors. It truly WILL make your heart sing and your soul dance! ~SuperGirl
Whether you were there physically or in spirit we want to thank you for being our friends and all your support. We had 11,000 participants, great weather, an international array of vegetarian foods, yummy smoothies, cooking demos and talks for the body, mind and soul. Everyone went home healthier and wiser including me. We are trying to assess how many friends came from myspace. I would appreciate a note or comment letting us know if you came to Veggie Fest on either day. Much Love & Blessings
Thanks Dave! I read that you are in trouble again for handing out books to children. OMFG! I hope the battle is progressing well and that you can pay your bills. I suspect that your name will be around long after 'ol Bob Whatshisname is long forgotten.
