An incredibly TIGHT, and well-prepared 2 minutes - unmasks the vile TYRANTS on the New York City Council, and also - the Courts that have failed in their duty to Justice, and the aggrieved, thus far...

Kudos to Garrett Ramirez!

I am so sorry for the loss of your career and for enduring the financial hardship that surely continues to this day. Not only were children (children without influential/wealthy parents) deprived of school during the lockdowns, but these children continue to be deprived of critical-thinking teachers such as yourself. Many of the best teachers are now absent from schools, leaving either those who are submissive or those with agendas to promote that are not in line with the true welfare of children. I met with a similar group of independent-minded LAUSD teachers, one of whom was also a special ed teacher. They couldn't understand why they had been thrown under the bus by their union. They retained childlike naivete, trying to understand. I explained to follow the money - not the money to the union leaders. The union leaders were just foot soldiers. I told them to follow the crumbs to whatever/whoever is controlling the pension plan. I learned through a relative's trial and tribulations with the old TWA that Carl Ichan never wanted to run an airline. He wanted the equipment and the pension. Pensions wield tremendous economic influence, and whoever runs the pension can whip up all sorts of agendas that serve their purpose.

I am also glad you discussed the lobotomies at the hearing. That has been my go-to example of allopathic medicine gone wrong, though there are many others. Similar to the 'mindset' that brought us lobotomies is the non-science belief system that brought us Eugenics. The decision that the US Supreme Court relied upon in upholding the Vax mandates (Mass. v. Jacobson) later served to uphold Buck v. Bell. Bell upheld the state's right to sterilize those deemed unfit for reproduction. The original victims of this theory were not the black and brown. They were the poor whites that were polluting the US and England. Carrie Buck's crime was getting impregnated while in foster care, perhaps by rape, while being poor and uneducated. LAUSD recently changed the name of a middle school based on the name being associated with a Eugenicist. But LAUSD completely erased that Eugenics was tied to ridding countries of poor whites. Such a narrative would undermine their CRT curriculum. God forbid kids look at each other and realize almost all their distant relatives have been on the receiving end of discriminatory, despicable actions by ruling elites. What would educators do if children knew US Eugenics policies, especially those espoused by Margaret Sanger, were very influential on Hitler? As a side note, Buck v. Bell would be cited by defendants at the later Nuremberg trials.

Good on you for making a stand, sir.

You will never regret not sacrificing your principles nor your health in not taking there stupid shot.

I was a 20 year NYC DOE teacher forced to resign due to these unconstitutional and illegal mandates. I completely understand where you are coming from and thank you for that powerful speech.. One day justice will be served and those responsible for ruining our careers and lives will be held accountable. Two years ago I moved out of NY where I am "allowed" to be in a classroom unvaxxed, unmuzzled, untested and unafraid. It's amazing how I posed such a danger in a NYC classroom, but no danger in the South. Shame on diblasio and adams and the UFT for not standing up for their union members.

Garrett, the vax mandates were a disgraceful and dark event that persists due to the lack of courage among many of our city's leaders and their only caring about their careers and profits. But the tide is turning!

Wow. Your presentation, clarity, and examples were excellent! Shoving the sick and deadly history of medicine and pharmacology in their faces was brilliant. (Lobotomy anyone?!) I have my own story and battle wounds living in Los Angeles. There are millions of us! Keep fighting. I’ve rallied many in my community to fight along with me too. So many inspiring people— we will win this in the end.

Indeed, kudos to you Garrett Ramirez! I went through similar stress over this & was ready to leave a job I've loved for 30 years but came through with an exemption. This stuff makes my blood boil to this day & New York city will never be the same. Thank you for standing up for what's right & stating it with such eloquence.

To be given only TWO minutes to speak on such a life-altering event is beyond insulting.

Huge personal sacrifices were made to step down from a job; Losing homes, tenure, retirement,

unemployment insurance, the list goes on.

I'm proud of you for having the moral courage and the inner conviction to rise up, stand up, and speak up.

Thank You.

On the other hand, Biden was on vacation 37 percent of the time last year in 2023.

A third of my life is writing, writing, writing, and I have a PhD to show for it. But clearly, this man could school us all. Review the greatest prepared speeches, from Demosthenes to MLK, and you aren't going to find, maybe outside Lincoln, a more powerful shorter speech than this one. One for the anthologies, ladies and gentlemen!

Shame on every New Yorker who ever votes for one of these tyranny-mainstreamers ever again. And let justice roll...
